  • Abstract
    This article integrates the Constructal Theory developed from Thermodynamics with the discussion of the means and methods of low-carbon architectural space form design in the new era. It introduces general principal of Constructal Theory and bring up an idea that the key of contemporary architectural design has transformed from the management of material system to the management of energy system. It analyses the application of Constructal Theory in the building energy operation model establishment and in structural technology, and elaborate that Micro fundamental element components in a building are human behavior scale and human energy consumption.
