A new sort of building material has been developed and produced in a Shenyang building material company. This kind of building material is not only energy-saving, but also can resist earthquake magnitude 8.0 by simulation tests. 
According to the introduction by that company that this new sort of material has the function of anti-shock, heat preservation, compression resist, and sound insulation, etc. The houses built by this kind of material will be cool in summer and warm in winter compared to the traditional houses. Therefore, the energy cost of air-conditioners and heater will be reduced obviously. And the whole house would look like a cage that will be quite earthquake-resisting.
