Abstract :
The concept of green architectural design is briefly described in this article. The elaboration of how to apply technological methods of green design to traditional architecture to make the buildings alive can further illustrate the point that the green architectural design is a combination of traditional architectural design and the concept of the green design. The paper also explores what factors should be taken care of in the green design plan. The article briefly analyzes some technological methods that can be applied to modification of existing buildings for energy saving.
