“…Chinese Standard for Building Carbon Emission Calculation (GB/T 51366-2019) is referred for calculation of the operational carbon emission of buildings [23,24]. The total energy consumption of each type in rural Beijing could be estimated by multiplying the average energy consumption per household and the number of households living in the rural areas, and the energy saving per household can be obtained through field test and simulation analysis.…”

Compared with that in cities, energy efficiency of rural houses is lagging behind, with high total energy consumption, low efficiency and poor indoor thermal environment. Beijing is the first area to promote the energy-saving renovation of existing rural buildings on a large scale, systematically, at the whole-city level in China. Through government symposiums, field surveys, simulation analysis and other research methods in this article, the implementation scheme and policy system for the energy-saving renovation of rural buildings in Beijing were sorted out, analyzed and evaluated. The following conclusions are drawn: Beijing has completed energy-saving renovations of more than 1 million rural households; the average energy-saving rate of the thermal insulation renovation of rural houses in Beijing is about 30.0%; the average room temperature has increased by 2.6 °C after the renovation; Beijing can achieve the annual energy conservation of 590,000 tons of standard coal by the end of 2016 after the insulation renovation work of 710,000 rural houses. Beijing’s experience with the energy-saving renovation of rural building envelopes should lead to further analysis, verification and optimization in other similar climatic zones, and the average energy-saving rate in the promoted cities can achieve 30.0% above.

Green buildings (GBs) play an important role in achieving sustainable development goals. However, the implementation of green technologies in building projects has not reached the desired level in developing countries such as Turkey because of barriers stemming from country-related factors as well as factors related to design and construction. The objective of this study was to explore the barriers to undertaking GB projects in Turkey. A questionnaire survey was administered to 116 construction practitioners to analyze the criticality of barriers to GB design and construction in the Turkish construction industry. Both descriptive and inferential statistics were adopted to evaluate the data obtained from the questionnaire survey. The findings suggest that the major barriers that hinder the adoption of GBs in Turkey are higher construction cost, lack of knowledge about GBs, lack of an authorized GB rating system, unavailability of GB materials, and inadequate market demand, whereas longer design time is the least critical barrier. The results of factor analysis indicate that the barriers to undertaking GB projects can be grouped under five “factors”, i.e., cost- and demand-related barriers, market-related barriers, people-related barriers, government-related barriers, and time-related barriers. In light of the results, policy makers and construction practitioners can devise strategies to promote GBs in Turkey, which can also be valid in other developing countries with similar socio-economic conditions.
