Review on prefabricated low carbon technologies in eco-house: China as an example

The industry related to building accounts more half of GHG emission all round the world. To ease the pressure from environment, low carbon technology developing become more and more important. Prefabrication is regarded as the next revolution for the building industry. Compared with traditional construction, prefabrication has several advantages. Combine the characters of low carbon technology and prefabrication, there would be a research gap for sustainable building development. This review examines the current development of prefabrication low carbon technologies. Investigation of existing knowledge of prefabricated low carbon technology has allowed several low-cost technologies to be summarized. Though this review, there would be a list of the current Prefabricated Low Carbon Technologies for different purposes and stimulate its market potential for global low carbon house development. Finally, a summary of the review work is provided.
