With the 65% building energy efficiency standards being implemented, the existing external wall insulation technology will face severe challenges. The research and application of the high performance inorganic insulation materials are solicited, because the traditional organic insulation materials representative with polystyrene have some defects, such as poor fire resistance, poor durability, short service and no synchronous with the life of structure, and environmental pollution. After the big fires of the CCTV building in 2009 and the building under construction at Shanghai pudong south road NO.1 in 2010, October 8 in the morning being occurred, the new generation inorganic insulation materials represented by vitrified microsphere, are getting increasing attention. After the thermal simulation of external walls, roof, floor and windows being calculated, it is concluded that its energy-saving rate is far more than energy efficiency 50% standard, and which is close to energy efficiency 65% standard, even if taking only vitrified microsphere as the insulation mortar for outer walls of building.

It is a problem on building energy efficiency of how to improve the heat insulation performance of building envelope, to make the building outer wall has good heat preservation effect, and to keep the necessary seismic performance. Exterior wall thermal insulation engineering, which is a key part on building energy conservation engineering construction quality acceptance and on building energy efficiency design, is an important part in building energy efficiency projects. Therefore, it is necessary to study the seismic performance based on the fact that the building is building energy efficiency. By the research on exterior insulation materials, the analysis on the performance of external thermal insulation materials currently used, and the research on the factors affecting the seismic performance of external thermal insulation material, It provides a guidance on evaluating the external wall thermal insulation material performance and quality, ensuring the quality of external thermal insulation material, and it is expected to achieve the effect of building energy efficiency.

ABSTRACT Although the term “green leasing” is not yet well defined, its primary purpose is clear. With an aim to create a collaborative environment through legal provisions between a building owner and a tenant, green leasing may ultimately help resolve the energy paradox in tenanted properties. Issues surrounding split-incentives are driven by a mismatch between owners' capital expenditures on improving building energy efficiency and an uncertainty of tenant or occupant behavior that might affect a building's energy consumption. Though some countries have started to develop guidelines promoting the adoption of green leasing, especially in government buildings and commercial real estate, implementation has not been overly successful globally. This study has two focuses, the first of which is to compare green leasing guidelines from various countries and to suggest six comprehensive categories of green leasing components: management relationships, information sharing, certificates, legal stipulations, financial factors, and operation. The second core area of research places government-tenanted properties' lease agreement contracts. The goal is to find any evidence in a legal condition between a building owner and a tenant, in this case federal government, to improve building energy efficiency with less environmental impact in the United States. The findings of the study indicated 41 out of 400 leases had green clauses. Three out of six categories proposed in this study were found in the U.S. government-tenanted properties, while the other three types were not shown. The findings of this study also suggest categories of green leasing clauses can contribute to defining green leasing and provide empirical evidence of green leasing in governmenttenanted properties. Ultimately, this study produces arguments for possible reasoning behind the employment of some green lease categories but the lack of use of others, specifically in the U.S. office market and government-tenanted buildings.

Building Energy Efficiency

Intensive building energy efficiency improvements can reduce emissions from energy use, improving outdoor air quality and human health, but may also affect ventilation and indoor air quality. This study examines the effects of highly ambitious, yet feasible, building energy efficiency upgrades in the United States. Our energy efficiency scenarios, derived from the literature, lead to a 6 to 11% reduction in carbon dioxide emissions and 18 to 25% reductions in particulate matter (PM2.5) emissions in 2050. These reductions are complementary with a carbon pricing policy on electricity. However, our results also point to the importance of mitigating indoor PM2.5 emissions, improving PM2.5 filtration, and evaluating ventilation-related policies. Even with no further ventilation improvements, we estimate that intensive energy efficiency scenarios could prevent 1800 to 3600 premature deaths per year across the United States in 2050. With further investments in indoor air quality, this can rise to 2900 to 5100.
