Low-Carbon Design of Adjusting Measures - Reflections on Low-Carbon Residential Design Strategies in Nanjing

Combining with the differences of traditional houses between northern and southern parts of China, this paper argues that different choices of low-carbon housing design should be chosen to adjust to different climate conditions, in which geographic characteristics and economic status should be considered. Such designs can not only reflect geographical characteristics, but also reduce the construction costs of low-carbon housing effectively, and they are also in line with local economic development. And the paper also explores viable design strategies which can adjust themselves to low-carbon housing design in Nanjing.
