Cost-benefit analysis of stakeholders for low-carbon building

Abstract

The research, development and application of low-carbon technology and low carbon building materials will bring about the increasing costs. In the promotion process of low-carbon building, it needs the participation of stakeholders to share the incremental costs included in the new technology and materials. By the cost - benefit analysis of government, developers, consumers, we find out the focused content by the parties. According to this analysis, this paper puts forward some policy proposals about interest rates, taxation, financial subsidies and environmental protection, which can guide the stakeholders to use low-carbon technology self-consciously. © 2014 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
