Today, the global construction industry is responsible for nearly 40% of the world’s energy-related CO2 emissions. Although zero energy construction in China is growing, there is huge potential for improvement in this area.
As a recognised world leader in energy efficient construction, Switzerland is now the key partner in a new Chinese project to promote green building. Our panel of experts provide insights into the growing demand for Swiss expertise in the region, and share best practice tips and success stories in the market.
