With the energy crisis being ever increasingly serious, energy-saving buildings have become a breakthrough for the development of the construction industry. Firstly, this article analyzes the current status of building energy saving in mainland China, and elaborates the necessity of building energy saving in the viewpoint of the entire lifecycle cost by using the value engineering principle. Secondly, this article analyzes the incremental cost of energy-saving buildings and describes the components of the incremental cost. Thirdly, this article analyzes in detail the impact of the incremental cost in the construction phase of buildings by illustrating examples. Finally, this article lists measures and suggestions for cost management to achieve the optimal economic benefits for the entire lifecycle with a minimum incremental cost in the construction phase, resulting in smooth development of energy saving buildings.
