摘要
Sustainability is a goal of society to ensure that satisfaction of present needs is not at the expense of the needs of future generations. Construction industry accounts for a large proportion of a nation's environmental load. This paper analyses the construction industry, one of the fastest growing industries in China, particularly in its energy consumption and energy structure during the period of 1996-2006 by means of input-output analysis. The research shows that the total energy consumption of construction industry increases by 156% during the period under study. The paper also analyses the direct and indirect sources of these environmental impacts and suggests corresponding solutions for future choice of policy-making decision.
