Abstract: Abstract Green construction is an important strategy for energy saving in construction, thus contributing to the mission of sustainable construction. By appreciating the importance of green construction, this paper presents the key principles of Green Construction Guidelines (GCG) introduced by the Chinese government, including energy saving, land saving, water saving, materials saving, and environment protection (4S1E). Four case studies are chosen to examine the effectiveness of the principles defined in GCG. Green construction technology and management methods adopted in these cases for implementing green construction are particularly investigated through comprehensive survey. The impacts and benefits from implementing GCG have been presented.
