The importance and application of the environmental
energy-saving technology in residential buildings

In recent years, as China’s economic strength has greatly increased and people’s higher requirement on residential environment, more and more attention has been paid to environmental energy-saving technology, and with unceasing research and development of it, environmental energy-saving technology starts to appear in lives of ordinary people, and it also can be used in residential buildings.

Nowadays, environmental pollution becomes more and more serious, the importance of energy-saving technology to residential buildings can be inferred from this: There are policies and regulations on the application of energy-saving technology in China, coupled with propaganda and promotion, can make environmental protection and energy-saving technology products easier to be accepted by people, compare to other technology products which produce environment pollution substance. Environmental energy-saving technology products can enhance the protection level of the surrounding environment, meanwhile, it is also very useful in conserving resource and saving energy.

The advancement of science and technology innovation may not reflect apparently in residential buildings, as the demands for low carbon environmental protection increases, the research and development as well as application of it never stops.

Firstl, application of wall insulation technology, namely the wall energy-saving technology, by adding good thermal insulation layer to house to keep it warm to shorten air-conditioning hours and to prevent excessive consumption of energy.

Secondly, choose proper heat preservation material, which not only can enhance the thermal and insulating performance of walls but also can ensure the indoor humidity.

Thirdly, environmental energy-saving technology achievements bring more applications. Take solar energy as an example, as a worldwide-used environmental energy-saving tool, its potential applications is very wide, not only can be applied in family products like water-heater, but also can be used in residential buildings to provide more service and application.

The development and application of environmental energy-saving technology, provides strong technical assistance to meet low carbon and environmental demand of residential buildings.

 

While there may still be differences of opinion about the classification of these dozens of non-Sinitic Chinese languages, their existence mitigates strongly against the use of expressions like "the Chinese language". The latter two topolects, being small & poorly defined (in linguistic terms), evince special pleading of the sort that led to a proliferation of ethnic "minoritiesn during recent decades. It is hard for me to think of any situations in which it would be proper to translate Zhongguo (de) yuyan in the singular as "Chinese language" except in an abstract, diachronic sense. Of the three newly recognized topolects, Jinyu represents a large splitting off from Mandarin which suggests the possibility that a lot of other comparable units (e.g. Szechwan) may one day do likewise, Huiyu is a breakaway from Wuyu, & Pinghua is a hitherto unknown Sinitic topolect that has been canted out of the Zhuang Autonomous Region. There are several interesting features to note about this new division. First is that seven of these major topolects are designated as yu ("languages") while three--including the largest & the smallest --are referred to as hua ("[patterns of] speech"). It is even harder for me to imagine conditions under which Zhongguo (de) yuyan should be rendered as "the Chinese language". Once we obviate the fangyan / "dialect" problem, however, the issue of how to handle Zhongguo (de) yuyan essentially solves itself. The plural English form then becomes virtually obligatory.
