On June 27, the Hainan International Energy Exchange Center building opened in Haikou’s Jiangdong New Area, located in China’s southern Hainan Province. The new building provides a smart, technological, and energy-efficient space for office and commercial purposes as well as a comprehensive trading platform for energy companies.

Invested by Shandong Energy Group, one of the world's top 500 enterprises, the office building, which measures a total of 65,000 square meters, is the first landmark project in the Central Business District (CBD) of Haikou Jiangdong New Area. It boasts the first 2A-level prefabricated building with a double-layer external respirable curtain wall on the tropical island, as well as the first building to obtain LEED-CS v4 Gold precertification in the Jiangdong New Area.
