According to an article in Popular Science (January 2010) China's Natural Resources Defense Council helped develop China's first energy rating and labeling standards, similar to the US LEED system and two new buildings are vying for LEED green and energy efficient credentials. China has over 21 billion square feet of buildings that consume 25 percent of the country's total energy. Thus, any effort to green their buildings is a great start. However, to really make the system work there needs to be an effective means to judge adherence to any standards the government proposes.
