Because of the construction of the new building, global warming become more serious every day. So, the building-related greenhouse gas emission is the worthiest attention in the world. Considerable number of low carbon houses have been constructed in these years. However, the architects are always facing several difficulties during the design period. This paper examines the status of Prefabricated Low Carbon Houses in the world. Though case study, investigation of past engineering practices and existing knowledge of prefabrication low-carbon houses has been summarized. These would give some direction for the future project and stimulate the market potential for global house construction. Finally, a summary of the review work is provided. Based on the conclusion, the review puts forward the advice and recommendations for future low-carbon house.
