Green Construction in China: Development Concept, Leading Directions, and Technological Innovation
Abstract
Promoting green construction is an effective way for the construction industry to implement the national green development requirements, relieve the pressure on resources and environment, and achieve green and low-carbon transformation. It has been nearly 20 years since the concept of green construction was proposed and applied in China; remarkable progress has been made while distinct problems exist. Based on extensive investigation and research while considering the green development situation in the construction industry, this study expounds on the concept, implications, and development values of green construction, summarizes the development history and representative progress, and analyzes the major problems regarding green construction in China. The development of green construction should implement the concept of people-oriented development, taking builders, users, and related persons as the foremost in the construction process. Focus should be placed on the following leading directions: integration of the entire construction process, efficient utilization of resources, waste and carbon emission reduction, lean engineering management, intelligent construction process, and professional engineering operations. Breakthroughs should be achieved for key technologies regarding green construction, including lean construction, prefabricated construction, green low-carbon building materials and equipment, construction machinery automation, and working robots. The study suggests that the construction industry should promote the reforms of project management systems and mechanisms for green construction, strengthen the research and demonstration of green construction technologies, formulate mandatory standards for promoting green construction, and boost green construction education, thereby supporting the green and high-quality development of the construction industry.
