Climate change is an unprecedented problem as a result of anthropogenic activities. Since COP-21 took place in Paris, world leaders pledged to improve their national policies to support the reduction of greenhouse gas emission, followed by cities mayors action plans in greening their cities. Consistent with new policies to create sustainable cities, the rise of green building movement becomes more prominent.
