Abstract

Energy conservation and carbon emissions reduction is an economic, social and political issue confronting countries around the world. Recent investigations have demonstrated enormous potential in energy consumption reduction in China's residential construction. Drawing on the statistic data and related documents, this paper analyzes the existing typical problems in residential construction development in China, i.e. large-scaled distribution, serious backwardness of energy conservation and relatively high energy consumption; then explores the underlying causes of the backward development in low-carbon and energy-saving residential construction, i.e. imperfect housing design, weak government regulation and limited public participation. Finally it concludes that to better solve those problems and develop a model of low-carbon residential construction, the government should actively cultivate awareness of low carbonation; enterprises ought to make innovation on low-carbon technologies and design concepts; the public are to positively participate in the development of low carbonation.
