Abstract

This paper reviews features of Green Building Label (GBL), the green building evaluation system in China, in terms of management and technology. It is followed by classified statistical analysis on 353 GBL projects issued in the four years from 2008 to 2011, in the context of evaluation agency, evaluation stage, building type, star level, regional distribution, and developer. Then it focuses on technical application of GBL projects including basic technical requirements and 32 applicable technologies, especially renewable energy utilization. Some suggestions are proposed for GBL development and revision of the Chinese national standard (Evaluation Standard for Green Building) in this paper.
