Problems and countermeasures of green building development in cold areas

In the process of rapid development of the society, there is inevitably a waste of resources especially for construction industry. Thus, the demand for green buildings increases swiftly. In the cold areas, the winter lasts for a long time, and several months' heating results in the increase of carbon emissions, which has a great impact on our environment, so it is necessary to develop green buildings. Starting from the concept of green building, this paper expounds the development status of green buildings in the cold area, illustrates the importance of developing green buildings in cold areas, and analyzes the problems faced by the development of green buildings in cold areas, and puts forward some suggestions.
