Impacts of Climate Change on the Construction Industry

Dandan Liao

Abstract


Through the analysis of the causes of global climate change, the building sector is found to be closely related to climate change. Based on the challenges and opportunities in this sector, some related policies have been published, making different effects in different regions. Taiwan is chosen to be the example to briefly describe the relationship between its architecture and the climate change, including the summary of a series of policies.
