中國應大力發展綠色建筑產業

由杰姆斯喬

世界各地的建筑物，通常采用三個心理和/或方法。一，構建采用常規材料和工具；2，構建模塊化的建筑方法重復件；三，建立一個生態和綠色建筑的最新技術，以節省資源，不犧牲舒適的生活環境，不損害、破壞自然。

雖然中國擁有豐富的廉價勞動力，但缺乏足夠的資源和能源儲備。在快速增長的中國綜合經濟實力，是世界第三大經濟體，以及最多的國家外匯儲備，中國不能繼續使用“fighting-the-war-with-bare-hands”的思想在建筑業。中國必須發展自己的高科技生態住宅在城市和農村地區。

當一個城市規劃，通常會很快出現在頭的心態。有些人認為我們應該種樹，所以我們的后代能夠享受的色調。一些人相信，要解決自己眼前的問題現在離開的后果的后代解決。

當你貧窮時，你會選擇以二選擇生存最重要。但一旦你是一個人，第一個選擇是唯一的路要走。我們必須認識到，需要多年的種植樹成熟和年清理受污染的河流。我們未來的一代將付出昂貴的代價的錯誤和不明智的決策今天。富裕和社會越是文明，更注意其公民將支付其未來一代的幸福。

中國人知道，資源越來越少，糧食價格上漲，環境惡化和全球變暖似乎在這里停留。中國再也不能沒有執行能源和資源的保護。中國必須建立更多的綠色建筑為了子孫后代。

長期以來，我一直向中國政府建議要求其政府建筑強制采用綠色建筑技術。我很高興聽到許多政府建筑物，特別是在中央政府一級，正在采用節能技術。

在我的講座，中國政府官員，我說，綠色建筑的未來走向。這是一個重要的可持續發展方向。綠色建筑并不意味著種植更多的樹和草地區，但它是精心設計，建造，操作和重用或拆除的建筑環境環保，節能和可持續的方式。綠色生態建筑的要求是人生活在一個原始的生活方式。這是一個革命挑戰的新建筑設計。它是我們尋求在我們的時代。這是人類的長遠利益。此外，
