Green Building Development Features in China

Abstract:

China has the biggest building construction market in the world today and it is growing at an explosive rate. At present, more than 85% of China's newly constructed buildings and more than 95% of the existing buildings are high energy consumption buildings. ¹ Green building is undoubtedly a great emerging market for the Chinese building industry, green and clean technology and products are becoming rapidly growing market in China. Both the new green building construction and existing building’s energy retrofit market will significantly grow in future. This paper discusses features of the green building development in China with respect to various aspects of the green building development situations, green building rating systems and its features so as to make further improvements. The discussion was refined based on literature reviews, requests for information from certification system owners, and interviews with certification system users and members of the industry advisory group.
