Everyone is dreaming of green building.
 
Energy efficiency

It is a big task to reduce energy use in the building. The most popular way is to increase the efficiency of the building envelop by using high-efficiency windows and insulation in walls, ceilings, and floors. For example, a more efficiency window can provide more nature light and lower the usage of the electric light during the daytime. Other way is to use renewable power facilities to reduce energy load. The increase of solar power, wind power, hydro power, or biomass is significant.

 
Water efficiency

Reducing water consumption and protecting water quality are key objectives in sustainable building. One critical issue of water consumption is that in many areas of the world, the demands on the supplying aquifer exceed its ability to replenish itself. To the maximum extent feasible, facilities should increase their dependence on water that is collected, used, purified, and reused on-site. Waste-water may be minimized by utilizing water conserving fixtures such as ultra-low flush toilets and low-flow shower heads.
 
Materials efficiency
Building materials typically considered to be 'green' include rapidly renewable plant materials like bamboo (because bamboo grows quickly) and straw, lumber from forests certified to be sustainably managed, ecology blocks, dimension stone, recycled stone, recycled metal, and other products that are non-toxic, reusable, renewable, and/or recyclable (e.g. Trass, Linoleum, sheep wool, panels made from paper flakes, compressed earth block, adobe, baked earth, rammed earth, clay, vermiculite, flax linen, sisal, sea grass, cork, expanded clay grains, coconut, wood fiber plates, calcium sand stone, concrete)

 
------Exhibitor from China-----------
