Abstract: Abstract Sustainable buildings, or more commonly referred to as “green buildings” in China, are an integral part of the country’s path toward sustainability. There are both opportunities and challenges in China’s green building market. Opportunities lie in both architecture and building engineering, as well as planning and urban development domains. The recently appeared WELL building concepts may also be promising in China. On the other hand, the development of green buildings in China face challenges in awareness and regulatory standards. Moving forward, the certification-focused developers will introduce new technologies to increase the value of green building labels. For technology-focused developers, they will need to combine their advanced core technology with the existing ones to capture larger shares of the market, particularly in the residential area. The ideas and concepts that may bring about technological integration will be the main drivers in the market.
