Preface  

Currently faced with the huge challenges of resource shortages and environmental  deterioration around the world, green buildings have become an inevitable trend for  sustainable development in the field of architecture. How to understand “green building”?  At present, the concept of “green building” that generally recognized by the domestic  professional academic fields, government, and the public at all levels, is defined by Green  Building Evaluation Standards (GB/T50378-2006) issued by the Ministry of Construction  in our country in 2006: Green Building refers to the building that can save resources  (energy saving, land saving, water saving, material saving) to the greatest extent during its  whole life cycle, while protecting environment, reducing pollution, providing people with  healthy, applicable and efficient use of space, and being in harmony with nature.  The process of developing green buildings is essentially a process of promoting  ecological civilization construction and learning and practicing the scientific development  concept. Its purpose and function is to realize a high degree of harmony and unity among  humans, architecture and nature; the full coordination of economic benefits, social benefits  and environmental benefits; and the healtyy, rapid and sustainable development of national  economy, human society and ecological environment.  In fact, the development of green buildings is the inevitable result and requirement of  the civilization process of human society. It is the rational grasp of human understanding  on the essence of architecture. It is a new system theory and proposition held by mankind  towards architecture. It is a kind of ism and a banner. banner. When a banner is set up, it  symbolizes hope and leads the direction. Most of our lives are spent in buildings, and  everyone without exception is more or less inextricably linked with architecture, not to  mention people working in architecture and real estate or related fields. Therefore, we  must put the construction of a resource-saving and environment-friendly society in the  prominent position of the country's industrialization and modernization development  strategy, and implement it in every unit and every family. Under the guidance of the  banner of green building, we will take the road of civilized development and construction  of production development, affluent life and good ecology, and create a happy and  beautiful tomorrow together for future generations. 

前 言  

面对当今世界资源短缺和环境恶化的巨大挑战，绿色建筑已经成为建筑领域可 持续发展的必然趋势。如何理解“绿色建筑”？目前在国内得到专业学术领域和政 府，公众各个层面普遍认同的“绿色建筑”概念，是由建设部于 2006 年发布的《绿 色建筑评价标准》（GB/T50378-2006）给出的定义：绿色建筑是指在建筑的全寿命 周期内，最大限度地节约资源（节能、节地、节水、节材），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，与自然和谐共生的建筑。 发展绿色建筑的过程本质上是一个生态文明建设和学习实践科学发展观的过 程。其目的和作用在于实现与促进人、建筑和自然三者之间高度的和谐统一；经济 效益、社会效益和环境益三者之间充分的协调一致；国民经济、人类社会和生态环 境又好又快地可持续发展。 实际上，发展绿色建筑是人类社会文明进程的必然结果和要求，是人类对建筑 本质认识的理性把握，是人类对建筑所持有的一种新的系统理论和主张，是一个主 义，是一面旗帜。旗子立起来了，就象征着希望，就指引着方向。我们人生的绝大 部分时间是在建筑物内度过的，每一个人无一例外地都或多或少地与建筑有着千丝 万缕和密不可分的联系，更不用说从业于建筑和房地产业相关领域工作的人们了。 因此，我们必须把建设资源节约型、环境友好型社会放在国家的工业化和现代化发 展战略的突出位置，落实到每个单位、每个家庭。在绿色建筑这面旗帜的指引下， 走生产发展、生活富裕和生态良好的文明发展建设之路，共创世世代代幸福美好的 明天。
