Green Design and Carbon Neutrality

This book focuses on the latest development of green design covering products, buildings and cities, including the related concepts, evaluation methods, and key technologies. It is divided into two parts, directly corresponding to the process from green design to carbon-neutral design. The first part comprehensively introduces contemporary green design from definitions, development, theoretical evolution, updated criteria, to evaluation methods. With a focus on green product design, green architecture design, and green city planning, it discusses evaluation methods and key technologies of green design. The second part systematically demonstrates the transformation of design paradigms from the perspective of carbon neutrality, from global Carbon Peaking and Carbon Neutrality actions, carbon-neutral enterprises, carbon-neutral buildings, carbon-neutral cities, to evaluation methods and strategies for carbon-neutral design. The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence. A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content.
