In the face of global climate change, there is a pressing and significant need to find low-carbon solutions for China’s construction industry. This research focuses on green public buildings in Dalian, a municipality situated in northern China. We investigated energy-saving design applications based on actual measured data. The results show that the common design aspects in the eco-friendly design of green public buildings encompass the conservation of building-derived energy, water use in buildings, and indoor environmental quality technologies. Optimized design strategies were proposed, focusing on three design elements—building orientation, greening, and shading—that are less considered in the case of buildings. It was found that the optimal orientation of the building is 35° southwest, and two vertical greening methods and three shading design methods were proposed. In addition, the incremental costs of green public buildings with different energy-saving technologies were discussed. This study aims to provide operational performance and feasible emission-reduction strategies for the construction industry in China and worldwide to meet the challenges under the dual carbon target.

The need to design buildings in compliance with the Paris Agreement goal requirements is urgent, and architects and engineers need to consider energy use and operational and embodied carbon requirements in doing so. Building envelopes will be an important element in the next generation of high-performance buildings and there have been significant advancements in recent years to develop building envelopes that help mitigate the building carbon emissions through energy-conserving low-embodied carbon or carbon-sequestering solutions. The key objective of this article is to present an overview of the state-of-the-art in the field of energy-efficient low-carbon buildings with a focus on envelope systems. This article provides a survey of the literature on energy use and carbon emissions of the United States building stock, presents recent advancements in energy-conserving building envelopes, and highlights reuse–reduce–sequester strategies that mitigate the embodied carbon of buildings. As materials are critical in reducing the energy consumption and carbon emissions of buildings, this paper also presents developments on diverse materials and building envelope solutions that have been effective in creating high-performance buildings, from insulation materials to phase-change materials and aerogels. Finally, the characteristics of a selected number of progressive net-zero-energy guidelines such as Passive House Institute (PHI) standards, Passive House Institute US (Phius) standards, the PowerHouse standard, and the BENG standard are discussed. The findings of this work highlight the increased focus on the design, construction, and engineering strategies that aim to mitigate the carbon emissions of buildings based on a holistic whole-life carbon mitigation approach.

“…With this information and data, researchers can analyze national building carbon emission performance, illustrate more accurate and cost-effective ZCB measurement models and tools, predict scenarios and risks for future development, and develop strategies, techniques, and innovations [109,110]. By using the scientific results of the collected information (e.g., predictive models/tools and advanced building technology), the government can partner with businesses to achieve significant strides in energy efficiency [111,112]. It also drives demand for performance that exceeds code requirements (e.g., super-efficient equipment and passive or ultra-lowenergy buildings) and directly incentivizes building efficiency retrofits [108,113].…”

The global issue of climate change has accelerated the international commitment to net-zero carbon emission development. Decarbonizing the building sector has been put on several governments’ sustainable development agendas. To provide a reference for decarbonizing the building sector, this paper summarizes the U.S. experience in zero-carbon buildings (ZCBs) from the aspects of policies, codes, and standards at the federal and local levels and those of professional societies. Based on the definition and boundaries of ZCBs, this paper introduces policies on building energy efficiency, electrification, on-site renewable energy deployment, and “buy clean”, illustrating highlights in building phases, energy systems, materials production, and fiscal incentives. The synergic efforts and coordination between federal and local levels and with professional societies are also introduced. Successful experiences in policy and standard implementation are summarized, including the systemic work of multilevel governance, clearly defined goals and stringent policies, constant upgrades of codes and standards, transparency in reporting and information sharing, and increased financial and investment opportunities. This paper provides concrete recommendations for developing zero-carbon building policies.
