• Old: old buildings to be renovated (or in need of renovation)
• New: normal new buildings (no current need of renovation)
• Low-energy: buildings consuming about half of the energy of a new building
• Passive: buildings consuming a quarter or less of the energy of a new building
• Chinese green building system: [4] [5]
