The demand for wood frame buildings in China is huge. It is estimated that the market value for wood frame buildings will be in the tens of billions of US dollars by 2030.
Currently around 2 billion square metres of new buildings are constructed annually in China of which only 20% are considered ‘green building’. According to the national plan, the proportion of ‘green buildings’ should increase to 50% by 2020.
Recently, China's Ministries of Industry and Housing have developed an action plan to promote the production and use of green building materials.
