Abstract

The international community facing climate warming has taken many measures to develop a low-carbon economy. To this end, the Chinese government has also drafted a low-carbon economy development plan, and conducted a lot of research in academia around the plan. In recent years, China's urbanization process has accelerated, which has stimulated the vigorous development of the construction industry. Looking at the current status of the development of low-carbon buildings in China, China's construction industry has made some progress in low-carbon aspects, but there are still many deficiencies in the level of consciousness. Some construction companies pay great attention to the appearance and use of buildings, but they do not pay much attention to the energy-saving performance of the buildings themselves. There are misunderstandings about low-carbon technologies. They believe that this technology belongs to high-tech technology and requires a large amount of human, material and financial resources. Therefore, there are deficiencies in implementing low-carbon buildings. In view of this actual situation, it is particularly necessary to study architectural design strategies from a low-carbon perspective. By investigating the energy consumption of buildings in China, this paper finds that the current energy consumption of buildings accounts for more than 20% of the total and has not been effectively controlled. Therefore, the effective integration of low-carbon concepts into the construction industry is conducive to the development of the construction industry and effectively protects China's environment and environmental problems.
