Abstract

ABSTRACT Green building (GB) policies are continuously being launched and adjusted in China to pursue resource conservation and emission reduction. Though reviewing the policy evolution could reveal the industry’s historical experience and strategic development concept and contribute to assessing and enhancing the policy system’s effectiveness, a comprehensive review of the whole GB policy system is still lacking in China. Consequently, this study examined the evolution of 1083 GB policies in China over the past two decades from the perspectives of policy objectives, policy content, and policy tools through text mining and content analysis, filling the research gap. Results show that GB policy objectives were gradually being quantified and formulated in greater detail, with the foci changed from innovation award and assessment to energy-saving retrofit and prefabrication. Supervision policies were primarily used among seven policy tool categories in recent years. The policy enhancement recommendations were proposed accordingly, supporting policymakers to improve the policy settings, providing real-time orientations for industrial sustainability development, and enlightening other countries to promote GBs.

中国绿色建筑政策的二十年演变:来自文本挖掘的见解

绿色建筑政策在中国不断推出和调整，以追求资源节约和减排。虽然回顾政策的演变可以揭示行业的历史经验和战略发展理念，有助于评估和提高政策体系的有效性，但对整个GB政策体系的全面回顾在中国仍然缺乏。因此，本研究通过文本挖掘和内容分析，从政策目标、政策内容和政策工具三个方面考察了过去20年中国1083 GB政策的演变，填补了研究空白。结果表明，国家节能政策目标正在逐步量化和细化，重点从创新奖励和评估转向节能改造和预制。监管政策是近年来主要使用的七大政策工具。并据此提出政策完善建议，支持政策制定者完善政策设置，为产业可持续发展提供实时导向，为其他国家推进产业可持续发展提供借鉴。

期刊介绍： BUILDING RESEARCH & INFORMATION (BRI) is a leading international refereed journal focussed on buildings and their supporting systems. Unique to BRI is a focus on a holistic, transdisciplinary approach to buildings and the complexity of issues involving the built environment with other systems over the course of their life: planning, briefing, design, construction, occupation and use, property exchange and evaluation, maintenance, alteration and end of life. Published articles provide conceptual and evidence-based approaches which reflect the complexity and linkages between cultural, environmental, economic, social, organisational, quality of life, health, well-being, design and engineering of the built environment.
