| 英文摘要: | Mandatory buildings disclosure in the United States opens the door to improved energy performance. Other countries could follow suit, explains Elisabeth Jeffries. Describing the modern building as “the theatrical demonstration of its functional ideal,” the critic Dan Cruickshank in 1989 drew attention to romanticism in twentieth-century architecture. That romanticism has, perhaps, nowhere been better expressed in more recent times than in the green building label.
