Preface

China is in the stage of rapid economic development, and the total amount of resource consumption is growing rapidly. Therefore, we must establish and seriously implement the scientific outlook on development, adhere to the concept of sustainable development. For this reason, our government attaches great importance to resource conservation as a basic national policy, and puts forward the long-term strategic goal of building a resource-saving and environment-friendly society. Building is the main place for human beings to engage in all kinds of activities. Building activities not only have a huge impact on natural resources and environment, but also are the greatest energy areas for potential conservation. Therefore, it is the key area of energy conservation and emission reduction in China and promoting the sustainable development of society.
   According to the current building situation in China, the total area of existing buildings is about 550×108 square meters, and the new building area of urban and rural areas in China is about 20×108 square meters every year. Due to the large building area base, the total building energy consumption is also large, which has been ranked in the forefront of the world, but in terms of unit building area energy consumption and per capita energy consumption level, China is still far below the level of developed countries. In this case, the green building of modern architecture comes into being from the perspective of energy conservation and ecological environment concern. It is the general concern of people for the global ecological environment and the extensive and in-depth thought of sustainable development. It is important for architecture to expand from the aspect of energy conservation to comprehensively examine the construction activities and the global ecological environment, the surrounding ecological environment and the living environment of residents architectural concept and practice. In this process, green building design directly affects the implementation of green building. In the process of design, whether it can save resources, protect the environment, reduce pollution to the maximum extent, provide people with healthy, applicable and efficient use space is directly related to whether it can create a harmonious symbiotic building with nature, and whether it can implement the sustainable development strategy of our country. Therefore, it is of great significance to pay attention to the green building design under the concept of sustainable development, which is also the original intention of this book.
  In the process of writing this book, the author has referred to a large number of domestic and foreign literature about green building, and cited the research results of some experts and scholars. Here we express our sincere thanks. Due to the shortness of time and the limited level of the author, there are inevitably some omissions and inadequacies in the book. We also urge readers to put forward valuable opinions and suggestions, so as to better improve the book in the future.

前 言

我国正处于经济快速发展阶段，资源消耗总量迅速增长，因此必须树立和认真落实科学发展观，坚持可持续发展的理念，为此，我国政府把节约资源作为一项基本国策加以高度重视，并提出建设资源节约型、环境友好型社会的长期战略目标。建筑是人类从事各种活动的主要场所，建筑活动不仅会对自然资源、环境产生巨大影响，更是节约潜力最大的用能领域，因而是我国节能减排、推动社会可持续发展
的重点领域。
  从我国当前的建筑情况来看，现有建筑的总面积约为 550×108 m2，未来中国城乡每年新建建筑面积约 20×108 m2，由于建筑面积基数较大，建筑能耗总量也较大，已排在世界各国前列，但就单位建筑面积能耗和人均能耗水平而言，我国还远远低于发达国家水平。在这种情况下，从能源节约、生态环境关注等视角审视现代建筑的绿色建筑应运而生，它是人们对全球生态环境的普遍关注和可持续发展思想的广泛深入，是建筑从能源节约方面扩展到全面审视建筑活动与全球生态环境、周边生态环境和居住者所生活的环境的重要建筑理念和实践。在此过程中，绿色建筑设计直接影响绿色建筑的实施，在设计的过程中能否最大限度地节约资源、保护环境、减少污染，为人们提供健康、适用和高效的使用空间，直接关系能否创造出与自然和谐共生的建筑，能否落实我国的可持续发展战略。因此，关注可持续发展理念下的绿色建筑设计有着较强的时代意义，这也是本书撰写的初衷。
  在撰写本书的过程中，作者参阅了大量国内外有关绿色建筑的文献资料，并对其中一些专家学者的研究成果进行了引用，这里表示最诚挚的谢意。由于时间较为仓促加之作者水平有限，书中难免存在一定的疏漏与不妥之处，还恳请广大读者提出宝贵的意见和建议，以便日后更好地完善此书。
