General Green Building Energy Efficiency

Abstract:

General public has gradually realized the significance of building energy efficiency because of the increasing severity of environmental pollution and energy depletion issues during rapid societal and economic development. To achieve the goal of building energy efficiency requires the support from technical, economic, politic as well as social dimensions. Aiming to establish sustainable environmental and constructional development mechanism towards macro environment, this article has firstly presented the concept of general building energy efficiency, which is a general term of all energy-saving technologies in building lifecycle, from design and planning to operation and maintenance, and even demolishment.
