Abstract

China building sector has been growing rapidly in recent years. From 2000 to 2013, the urban residential area increased from 9.5 to 23.4 billion m2. Figure 1.1 shows that Chinese total building energy consumption increased from 320 to 756 million tce. Under this context, how to effectively control building energy consumption and improve building environment quality has become a hot topic.
