A framework of total low carbon management paradigm in building industry

Low carbon practice becomes a global appeal for addressing climate changes. As a major carbon emission sector, building industry has the liability to take all possible actions for reducing carbon emissions. This paper introduces a principal framework of total low carbon management (TLCM) paradigm in the context of building industry. It argues that building industry must engage an advanced management paradigm in order to make effective contributions to the goal of emission reductions. And this paradigm requests the participation of low carbon practice across the whole regulations, the whole industry, the whole building enterprise, the whole building staff, and the whole building process.
