Analysis of the Development History of Green Building Design in China Based on CiteSpace

Abstract

As environmental problems become more and more prominent, green building, as a sustainable design concept, has become the dominant trend in the future development of the construction industry. In this paper, using China Knowledge Network (CNKI) as the literature database, by searching the literature related to green building design in China and using CiteSpace to visualize and analyze the literature, it is concluded that the development history of green building in China is divided into three phases: the beginning, the development, and the maturity. The starting stage is the stage where researchers study foreign materials and explore the direction of green building development in China after coming into contact with the emerging concept of green building; the development stage is the stage where researchers study the relevant technologies of green building after the theoretical accumulation of the previous stage and carry out a certain amount of practice in order to explore their rationality; the maturity stage is the stage where, on the basis of the theoretical and technological accumulation of the previous two stages, mature technologies are applied to China's domestic green buildings and the development of green building design. The mature stage is based on the accumulation of theories and technologies in the previous two stages, and the mature technologies are applied to the construction of green buildings within China. This paper analyzes the development history, summarizes the achievements made so far, and puts forward suggestions for the future development of green buildings in China.
