Green building research from design to operation in the past 20 years: A perspective

摘要

The promotion and development of green buildings provides a promising solution to the current energy and environmental challenges we are facing. In the recent years, the focus of green buildings has shifted from "quantitative improvement" to "occupant-oriented" "qualitative improvement". Meanwhile, the advancement of information technology, energy and materials has created cutting-edge tools for planning, design, construction, operation and maintenance of green buildings. In this paper, we have identified several trends and urgent needs for the future development of green buildings. It includes the new method of cross-disciplinary whole life cycle collaborative design from monomer to urban scale, AI-assisted optimization design, performance-oriented digital design, healthy building/smart building design, active and passive integrated equipment terminal design and development and application of new materials, etc.
