The biomass, carbon sequestration ability and surface characteristics of greenhouse gas emissions of the reed ecosystem were studied in this paper. This reed ecosystem locates in the western beach of Chongming Island which is situated in Yangtze River Estuary. The research target of reed covers about 300 hm2. The biomass was measured by harvest method and the greenhouse gas emission rates were detected by static boxes-gas chromatography. The results showed that the scope of reeds biomass is between 9.10-21.11 kg·m-2, and the average value is 16.85 kg·m-2. The carbon sequestration range between in 4.04-9.38 kg·m-2, and the average is 7.48 kg·m-2. The total carbon sequestration of this reed ecosystem is about 9810 t·a-1, and the net total carbon sequestration is about 8091.58 t·a-1. These results indicated that reed ecosystem of wetland in mid-latitude has strong carbon sequestration ability, and net of carbon appears in the growing season.

Building construction sector can play a major role in reducing Greenhouse Gas emission through application of technologies aimed at reduction of use of building materials. Energy consumed during production of building materials and components plays a crucial role in creating environmental pollution. India is witnessing high growth in urban and rural housing, which needs more production of building materials. Permanent or semi-permanent type buildings which consume easily available conventional materials like brick, reinforced cement concrete etc. can be made Economic and Eco-friendly by lowering use of energy-consuming building materials through Cost-effective Construction Technologies. Buildings with Cost-effective Construction Technology can be designed within the parameters of the existing Indian Standards. Awareness generation among the users, proper technical and architectural guidance and easy availability of skilled manpower are of utmost importance for promotion of cost-effective technologies in India and to make them as the most acceptable case of sustainable building technologies both in terms of cost and environment.
