Green building materials have brought fundamental changes to the traditional construction methods, enabling better environmental protection and energy-saving performance of the buildings. However, due to the various material types and the large property differences, until now there isn’t a uniform evaluation index system (EIS) for green building materials, the existing studies on the green-level evaluation of green building materials during production and use are insufficient, and the research on energy-saving design is just getting started. For this reason, this paper attempted to launch a research on the multi-objective energy-saving optimization design of buildings based on the application of green building materials. First, the quantification method for the environmental impact factors of green building materials was elaborated, and the intervals and standards of the quantification evaluation were given; then, a green building material optimization selection model was constructed, and a multi-objective energy-saving optimization algorithm was proposed; at last, experimental results gave the green levels of a few candidate green building materials and the scores of the environmental impact factors, which had verified the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.

This research paper addresses the marketplace confusion and barriers that can prevent easy and well informed environmentally preferable material selections from being integrated into residential renovation projects in the Toronto region. It establishes a template for an easy-to-use material assessment toolbox that considers environmental impact categories that reveal variation between products of similar type and that are often considered together as "eco-friendly" options. The material assessment tool developed as a result of this research provides a resource that satisfies the Toronto-based needs of both client and contractor to assess and source environmentally preferable material choices common to most residential renovations work and to understand the up-front cost implications of these choices.

Purposes:Through this paper we can know how to choose building materials more healthy. Methods:We analysed the performance and application scope of common energy-saving and eco-friendly building materials. Results:China’s building materials industry must take measures by means of system construction, promotion model, economic support to expand the application range. Conclusions:We should make more efforts to promote green building materials, establish the assessment system of green building materials.

The project of City Plaza and its office buildings all regard the green three-star as the overall design goal, which has been identified by the China's Green Three-star Design Evaluation. This project could make rational use of the natural conditions and ecological energy-saving technology to the maximum extent by the comprehensive planning and architectural monomer design, and adopt the low-cost and low-input way such as the green building materials to balance and protect the surrounding ecosystem. Therefore, it could improve the energy-saving efficiency of project and explore a new organic mode to apply modern green building energy-saving technologies in the process of tradition respect and protection.

Green building materials as an important factor plays important role in the promote sustainable development. However, at present a unified understanding on the green building materials in China have not been formed,the evaluation system of green building materials is not perfect.In this paper,the concept and features of green building materials are discussed deeply,and life cycle model is used to evaluate the green building materials.The status and future trend of green building materials are discussed too.
