Abstract: Take HVAC project of China's Scientific Development Concept Exhibition Hall in Taizhou for example. Based on the rules and requirements of energy saving and using in the Green Building Evaluation Criteria, explore the green building realization model which adopts the low-cost energy saving technology and minimizes the environmental pollution in the entire life cycle of the building. It is desirable that the hall, with a blend of geographical features, be a comfortable, healthy and environment-friendly cultural building of international influence.

Abstract: This paper investigates ways of knowing a particular place in landscape architectural practice across cultures. The approach of landscape architecture to place suggests a primary goal to look after places’ characteristics. Therefore, landscape architects have developed ways to gain understanding of place and its natural and cultural environment. A case study of the planning and design of the Li Lake area in China where Australian landscape architects played key roles showed their genuine engagement with place through intensive site investigations and close interaction with local governmental clients. It also showed their difficulties in gaining implicit knowledge of this area, because their early and direct interaction with local landscape architects and communities was restricted by the commissioning process.

Abstract: The solar energy is a free from contamination of green energy, the application of solar energy in building is booming in recent years. Solar water heating system in the building and the organic combination are also getting forward. In order to meet the people of high quality life pursuit, more and more housing are designed with solar water heating system. The paper expounds the necessity and importance about solar water heating system integration and illustrates that residential building solar hot water system of building integrated principle, emphasize we should use the life cycle of the technology economic evaluation methods to speed up the establishment residential building solar water heating system and building integrated evaluation system.

Abstract: Based on the whole-building systems approach that takes the entire office-building components as a system, which contains building site and its climate, air sealing and insulation of thermal envelop, energy-using equipment, we studied the appropriate energy-efficient remodeling strategy for wall, roof, window, door, HVAC system, lighting and lift in office-building.

Abstract: Firstly, this paper introduced several kinds of frequently-used thermal insulation system, which included exterior wall insulation system, doors and windows insulation system and roof insulation system. Secondly, the principle and method of the consumption simulation of the public buildings are expatiated on, including software simulation principle, design process and the setting of related parameters. Thirdly, taking a public building in Nantong, Jiangsu province as an example, the operating energy consumption of different energy-saving design schemes are simulated with the Tangent Building Energy-saving Computation (TBEC) software, and the energy saving design schemes of the public building are optimized in the view of minimizing the energy consumption. At last some references of public building energy saving design are provided.

Abstract: The container building is emerging products on the container’s market. Container architecture reflects the low carbon building the "energy" and "low carbon" characteristics, it is sustainable. In the world, we hope a low carbon economy development, on this way, the design of the building with container transformation is a new design in the exploration of how to reduce building materials’ carbon emissions in the process. It emphasizes the construction of green concept container.

Abstract: This article analyzes the problem in application the solar system was used in residential building, puts forward the requirements to use energy and choose the setting of the solar energy collector from two aspects of building and drainage design respectively. In addition, the article explicates andthe solar energy collector and building integrated design and the development of solar energy collector. At last, the article puts forward some Suggestions on the improvement and development of residential solar hot water system and the design of the hot water supply bath solution of practice to make solar energy and low power assisted by night combining.

Abstract: As a result of excessive construction and development, the earth environment has severely deteriorated. Based on the data from Architecture and Building Research Institute, Ministry of the Interior, the amount of CO2 emissions of the construction industry has exceeded one quarter of the national total. The CO2 emission distribution is 9.31% for building materials production, 0.2% for construction, 1.49% for materials transportation, 11.88% for residential daily energy use and 5.94% for commercial daily energy use with a total of 28.82%. It can be seen that the residential buildings play a key role on energy saving and CO2 emission reduction policy. Although, at present, new residential buildings over 50 million NT dollars are required to execute green architecture design to conform to the green architecture labelling system based on the related building regulations, the government policy of green architecture on residential buildings has been more or less passive. For the general residential buildings built earlier and newly built, the government is not yet to require them to comply with the green architecture labelling system. Therefore, it may influence the promotion of energy saving and carbon dioxide emission reduction policy. The green architecture development of residential buildings is influenced by a lot of criteria. By studying those criteria, the most easily implemented or most cost effective criteria can then be applied to them. This research tries to establish a assessing framework for applying green architecture to residential building development. This research first, through literature reviews and and expert interviews, determines the criteria and sub-criteria to be used in the initial assessing framework. Then, through expert questionnaires, the Delphi method is used to finalize the assessing framework. Finally, the Analytic Hierarchical Process (AHP) is used to identify the relative weights of criteria and sub-criteria. From the relative weights of criteria, the building materials criterion has the greatest impact on the application of green architecture to residential building development. The priority weights of sub-criteria can help us understand when to apply those sub-criteria. In gerneral, the sub-criteria with high priority weights can be immediately implemented in the existing and newly built residential buildings and the sub-criteria with low priority weights should be implemented in the design stage.

Abstract: Climate adaptability of residential buildings is critical for their energy efficiency. This paper investigates the operable design methods dealing with residential climate adaptability on the basis of the general design principle and the conceptual design theory. Particularly, the impacts of wind forces on the ventilation environment and sunshine on the lighting environment for residential buildings are explored by combining qualitative analysis and numerical simulation under the perspectives of master plan and individual design, respectively. The corresponding alternative operable design schemes are presented through case examples to make buildings more adaptive to local climate.
