摘要：Buildings use 40% of global resources, 40% of global energy, and 25% of global water. Urban areas are the complex interaction of natural and human and with huge concentration of population. However, urban planning and building design play very important role to increase capacity of adaptation in urban areas and address in the urban planning system. Therefore, lack of link between urban development and adaptable building for climate change impacts assessment cause to adverse climate change impacts. Adaptable building planning can assess or minimize climate change impacts and as an adaptation technique and policy can reduce the amount of GHG and support mitigation policies. Based on environmental situations and geographical positions variety of solutions are available to make adaptable buildings. The new technics are required: 1) to promote adaptable building benefits and suitability (e.g. simplifying the system, ownership, long term bank loan, and insurance); 2) to promote the knowledge and suitable tools to increase the feasibility to adapt (e.g. Make it transparent by clear policy and framework, make a bridge and fill the gap of information, and introduce an easy, simple system to encourage different sectors to participate); 3) to promote public and private to invest by firm land use regulations and environmental policies (e.g. improve efficiency, linking adaptable building to air pollution or health problems and more obligations). This paper aims to show how adaptable building in urban areas reduces amount of greenhouse gases, and air pollution and also how adaptable building design can support and address mitigation and adaptation.
