Effectively utilizing clean and renewable energy and maximizing the recycling and reuse of resources are fundamental to achieving sustainable development and building a resource circulation-based society. This book introduces the main technical achievements of the "Resource Circulation-Based Residential Technology Development Project" organized by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry of Japan in an easy-to-understand and visually engaging manner. It systematically discusses the relationship between sustainable society and residential construction, methods for sustainable residential construction, related technologies of resource circulation-based housing, and what should be learned from resource circulation-based developed countries. Through numerous engineering examples, it provides a detailed introduction to the key points of sustainable residential construction. This book can serve as a reference for students, researchers, and teachers in architecture-related fields, real estate developers, scientific research and management personnel in government departments, as well as individuals from various sectors who are concerned about residential construction and the built environment.
