Ecological Approach for Low-Carbon Landscape Architectural Design

With China's rapid economic development, the construction industry plays an important role in promoting both economic development and urban construction. However, due to the characteristics of construction industry itself, it is seen the most important industry as a move towards a low-carbon economy. So we should bring in the concept of low-carbon and establish low-carbon awareness. Meanwhile, in recent years, for the science and technology are making rapid development around the world, new technology and materials are emerging, along with the architectural design constantly changing people's thinking patterns. The process of scientific influencing architecture is gradually accelerating and it is necessary for researches to have a greater emphasis on concepts and methods of science than aesthetics and awareness.

Impacts of climate change are emerging around the world. Extreme weather events are becoming more frequent. It is a threat to social progress and economic development. China is no exception. A top priority issues facing the world economy will be slow the rate of climate change, and turned to more energy-efficient, low-carbon economy. As such, China must give enough attention to climate change in developing growth strategies. Doing so will China's industrial structure and into the old city mode. These will be significant adverse conditions in low-carbon world. If the Chinese want to turn to a low-carbon economy, it is necessary to announce new routes, and a series of new policy objectives and measures to guarantee. To achieve this transformation, the density of the target energy consumption only is not enough. China also needs to create incentives. Encourage the use of low-carbon energy and low-carbon industries in economic development activities, and the introduction of market-based policy.

Low-carbon economy is the only way for China’s economic development, and also an important part of achieving the commitment to the world about reducing 40-45% carbon-emission until the year of 2020. In recent years, the increasing speed of hotels in China has become higher and higher, but most hotels have the problems of serious waste and pollution. This doesn’t benefit for development of low-carbon economy in China. So building low-carbon hotels is imminent at present. From the perspective of circular economy, this paper analyzes the ubiquitous problems in the process of building low-carbon hotels, and then summarizes successful experience of building low-carbon hotels in foreign countries. Finally, the paper put forwards to corresponding countermeasures of building low-carbon hotels from four aspects including policy, technology, culture and behavior.

<span lang="EN-US">Aiming at six big emerging economies in the world, namely, China, United States, United Kingdom, Germany, France and Japan, this paper analyzes their carbon emission conditions based on the data of carbon emission, energy consumption and economic development during 1970—2008 from the statistics in the World Development Index Database (WDI) of the World Bank, and carries out empirical analyses based on theories & policies and driving factors of their low carbon economy. It is found that energy intensity, economic growth and urbanization progress exert more remarkable influences on carbon intensity, and the effect of carbon emission reduction depending on government fiancé is not sustainable. Thus, this paper is intended to explain that China needs more actively promoting green sustainable towns with its sustainable development, and developing urban low carbon industries and buildings for more civilized ecological towns.</span>

Environmental policy obliges modern society to transition to a low-carbon economy. After entering to life, the Paris Agreement obligated the signatories to prepare the first nationally determined contributions (NDCs). The NDCs aim first to reduce greenhouse gas emission targets under the UNFCCC and they apply equally to both developed and developing countries. Countries voluntarily indicate what actions will be taken to achieve the declared goals. The construction sector is an industry that is under scrutiny due to its negative impact on the environment, but it also has the potential to reduce it. Activities that can reduce greenhouse gas emissions can be carried out at various levels in the construction industry. One of them is the appropriate preparation of the staff, including equipping them with the so-called green skills. This research aimed to determine the competency gaps of people employed in the construction industry, including competencies in the field of low-emission economy. For the purposes of the study, a questionnaire survey was carried out in Poland and the Czech Republic and based on the results obtained the appropriate competencies were determined that should be possessed by people employed in the construction sector, including competencies related to a low-emission economy. Competency profiles for people employed in the construction sector were built and competency gaps of these people were determined. In both countries, no competencies have been identified in any of checked areas that meet or exceed the requirements of managers according to specific competency profiles.

In the background of the rapid development of market economy, a large number of carbon dioxide emissions, leads to the obvious imbalance of carbon in nature. In recent years, the global temperature is getting warmer, the sea level is rising year by year, and the grain production is also significantly reduced, which will bring a great threat to the normal survival and development of human beings. In order to protect the environment on which human beings live, low carbon economy is put forward. Under the environment of low carbon economy, private enterprises are not only facing new development opportunities. At the same time, private enterprises are also facing new development challenges. If they want to develop further, they must actively deal with them. The author analyzes the opportunities and challenges faced by private enterprises under the environment of low carbon economy, and puts forward specific countermeasures, hoping to be helpful to the long-term development of private enterprises.
