Abstract

In response to the national call to save energy and reduce emissions, China’s green residential areas have flourished in the past ten years. Now, more than one billion square meters of green buildings have been built, but most of them have failed to meet their design goals during the operation. One of the core objectives of the development of green residential area is to reduce energy consumption, but it is not met in the course of operation. Therefore, it is of great significance for saving energy, improving the operational status and the effectiveness of residential building design that analyzing the problems in the operations of green residential area. Sino-Singapore Tianjin Eco-city is a major cooperation project between the governments of China and New Zealand. It is a representative ecological community in China, which has the characteristics of advanced construction concept, comprehensive pilot and wide use population. And it is an excellent case study on the operation problem of green residential area. In this paper, three representative green residential projects are selected to compare the gaps in the design, construction, and operation stages, and analyze the causes. By analyzing the operational problems of green residential areas and deducing the optimization methods in the design and construction of residential buildings, the operation effect of existing green residential area can be improved, the optimization scheme can be provided for low energy consumption design of future green residential area, and the optimization scheme can be provided for the operation of green residential areas.
