A Study on Residents Consciousness of Low Carbon Building in Jiaxing City

Abstract

This article analyses the statistical data of questionnaires about low carbon building awareness of Jiaxing City residents, and concludes three points as following. Firstly, residents get low carbon building information from internet, television, magazines and so on, which gives them a hand to develop a sense of low carbon building. Secondly, the residences also have a relatively high degree of cognitive about the effect of low carbon buildings to both the environment and economy. Thirdly, as the price of low carbon building is more expensive than ordinary buildings, citizens do not have a strong realistic desire to purse low carbon buildings. However, it can not be neglected that the higher annual household income the stronger willing of purchasing low carbon building. Under these circumstances, it is an ideal way for government to carry on more incentive policies not only to support developer to develop low carbon building but also encourage citizen to purchase low carbon buildings.
