Research on the Market Prospect of China's Sustainable Architecture

Since the lower performance/price ratio and externality, sustainable architecture's market competitiveness is less than that of the traditional architecture. The market prospect of China's sustainable architecture is decided by the changes of the following five factors: the price of energy sources, the handling of pollution, consciousness of environmental protection, the macroeconomic control and the third party finance. The changing tendencies of the above factors are conducive to the development of sustainable architecture, if the government would take effective measures. China's sustainable architecture will become a very important part or even a leading power of the architectural market by the middle of the twenty-first century.
