GREEN construction has been widely recognised in China as an important step towards energy efficiency amid efforts to fight pollution, but the concept does not always translate to the Chinese market.
The concept of "green construction" was first introduced to China in 2000 as an efficient way to conserve resources, protect the environment and cut pollution.
