A green building is a built architecture that keeps a delicate balance with its surrounding environment. It means that during the whole life circle,it is environmental-friendly and efficient in energy consumption.
China’s “Green Building Evaluation Standard”(GB/T50378 - 2014) defines green buildings as those which save resources(including energy, land, water and construction materials); protect the environment and reduce pollution within their life cycle; provide healthy,practical and highly efficient use of space; and are in harmony with nature.
The World Green Building Council (World GBC)defines the green building as follows:
“Abuilding that, in its design, construction or operation, reduces or eliminatesnegative impacts, and can create positive impacts, on our climate and naturalenvironment”
Green buildings preserve precious natural resources and improve ourquality of life.
