In the context of actively addressing climate change and vigorously advocating energy conservation and emission reduction globally, low-carbon buildings have become an important direction for the sustainable development of the construction industry. This study closely focuses on the theme of low-carbon buildings in Hebei Province, and conducts in-depth and systematic identification of influencing factors. Through extensive literature review and comprehensive integration of relevant research results at home and abroad, combined with multiple representative practical cases for in-depth analysis, we accurately grasp the key links in low-carbon building practice, and conduct in-depth interviews with senior experts in the field of architecture in Hebei Province to fully draw professional insights and practical experience. Through comprehensive research, it has been found that in terms of policies and regulations, the implementation of building energy-saving standards is insufficient, incentive policies are not yet perfect, and there are obvious loopholes in regulatory mechanisms, resulting in a lack of strong institutional guarantees for the development of low-carbon buildings. At the technical level, the promotion and application of energy-saving technologies are relatively low, the ability for technological innovation is seriously insufficient, and the integration and collaboration between various technologies are poor, making it difficult to support the efficient implementation of low-carbon buildings. In terms of economic costs, the high initial investment costs and uncertainty in operation and maintenance costs have brought significant economic pressure to developers and owners, hindering the market promotion of low-carbon buildings. In the field of social cognition, the public's awareness of environmental protection is weak, and their acceptance and recognition of low-carbon buildings are low. At the same time, there is a shortage of professional talents and insufficient demand for the development of the construction industry. These factors interact and constrain each other, forming a complex mechanism of action that seriously hinders the development process of low-carbon buildings in Hebei Province from multiple aspects. This research provides a solid theoretical basis and decision support for the precise formulation of targeted and feasible strategic measures in the future, which helps to break the current development bottleneck, effectively promote the steady progress of the construction industry in Hebei Province towards a low-carbon development track, and contribute key forces to the achievement of energy-saving and emission reduction goals in the province. It has significant value in improving the environmental, economic, and social benefits of buildings in Hebei Province, and also provides useful reference examples and practical inspirations for the development of low-carbon buildings in other regions of China, in order to jointly promote the green and low-carbon transformation and sustainable development of the construction industry in China.
