Constructing low carbon building is inevitable at low carbon economy era. Design is a dominating influence in building life cycle. To design low carbon buildings, this article studies some reasonable design techniques. The article analyses relevant professions of design and puts forward the main techniques and methods during building design stage for reducing carbon emission. These techniques are critical to building life cycle.

<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 &amp; 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>

AbstractClimate change has emerged as one of the most important environmental issues worldwide. As the world’s biggest developing country, China is participating in combating climate change by promoting a low carbon economy within the context of global warming. This paper summarizes the pathways of China’s low carbon economy including the aspects of energy, industry, low carbon cities, circular economy and low carbon technology, afforestation and carbon sink, the carbon emission trading market and carbon emission reduction targets. There are many achievements in the implementation of low carbon policies. For example, carbon emission intensity has been reduced drastically along with the optimizing of energy and industry structure and a nationwide carbon trading market for electricity industry has been established. However, some problems remain, such as the weakness of public participation, the ineffectiveness of unified policies for certain regions and the absence of long-term planning for low carbon cities development. Therefore, we propose some policy recommendations for the future low carbon economy development in China. Firstly, comprehensive and long-term planning should be involved in all the low carbon economy pathways. Secondly, to coordinate the relationship between central and local governments and narrow the gap between poor and rich regions, different strategies of carbon emission performance assessment should be applied for different regions. Thirdly, enterprises should cooperate with scientific research institutions to explored low carbon technologies. Finally, relevant institutions should be regulated to realize comprehensive low carbon transition through reasonable and feasible low carbon pathways in China. These policy recommendations will provide new perspectives for China’s future low carbon economy development and guide practices for combating climate change.

As the biggest developing country in the world, with sustainable and fast development of economy, the fossil energy consumption and carbon emission increases so quickly that the problem of energy security and carbon emission is more and more prominent In China. Therefore, building the sustainable energy supply system and energy consumption mode is the important guarantee for constructing harmonious society. This paper analyses the status of the gross energy consumption and its structure change in China, and then researches the problems of the energy consumption structure. In the end, the paper puts forward the specific countermeasures on optimizing the energy consumption structure, such as striving to develop new energy, improving the using of energy efficiency, promoting the development of low-carbon economy and so on.
