“…The progressing of cold room insulators, as shown in Figure 2 [4]. Found that, the best heat transfer coefficient (U value) value is vacuum insulated panels (VIPs) [5] and smallest size [6]. Therefore, VIPs is appropriate to be used in this research to reduce the heat load, reduce energy consumption and maintain the quality of the product [7].…”

This research aims to reduce fuel consumption in transportation systems using vacuum insulation panels (VIPs) for cold storage trucks. The material was vacuum Insulation Panels (VIPs) is a custom-made insulator using glass fibers pressed at 10 tons per square meter and the thermal conductivity conditions of the selected materials ranged between 0.0028 and 0.007 W/mK and has a size of 12 mm comparative experiment method of cold storage trucks equipped with VIPs and without VIPs of 4 model frozen cars. Which has Model 1 (4 Wheels Truck), Model 2 (4 Wheels large Truck), Model 3 (6 Wheels Truck), and Model 4 (10 Wheels Truck). The sensor installation in the cold room is distributed in every wall to achieve differentiation and distribution of cold temperatures. The results are calculated as the energy saving result, it was found Model 1 (4 Wheels Truck) have best fuel savings. This research can apply other types of cold storage trucks or research in the same way as the air wall by inserting VIPs insulation inside the external insulation to reduce heat transfer.

“…Local use of photovoltaic energy could be increased through battery use and local energy sharing, resulting in greater self-reliance from the power grid. Trancossi, Cannistraro, and Pascoa conducted a study on an innovative thermal pump and electric coupling that combined solar energy and thermodynamic energy and evaluated its implementation in energy-efficient residential container houses [58]. The proposed design offers personalized settings based on specific building needs, followed by an assessment of the building and air conditioning systems based on the first and second laws of thermodynamics.…”

The construction industry has become one of the main drivers of the increase in carbon emissions and subsequent climate change. In this study, we focused on building carbon neutrality design and used CiteSpace V.6.2.R2 to conduct bibliometric analysis of published papers (2008–2023). After the initial screening, 280 pieces of relevant literature were obtained, including reviews, research papers, and case studies. Following further screening and excluding duplicate literature articles, 50 pieces of literature were ultimately selected as references for this paper, covering various aspects of key scientific issues, implementation approaches, and emerging research frontiers in carbon-neutral design for buildings. The research results show that significant progress has been made in energy conservation, materials, structures, systems, and operations in the research on carbon-neutral design for buildings. However, there are still issues, such as unclear implementation paths for carbon-neutral design, incomplete lifecycle assessment of carbon-neutral design, and high cost of carbon neutrality technologies in current research. Therefore, further research on the overall concept of carbon-neutral design, the progress and implementation of carbon neutrality technologies, and the integration of carbon-neutral design with sustainable development concepts are necessary. To sum up, this paper presents a thorough overview of the advancements in carbon-neutral design for buildings, examines the existing research challenges, and suggests potential avenues for future research. This paper’s findings can provide guidance for researchers, policymakers, and practitioners to promote the development and application of carbon-neutral design for buildings and to achieve sustainable development goals.

“…It is claimed that the most effective passive means of achieving thermal comfort in a hot-humid climate is through comfort ventilation. Trancossi et al proposed thermoelectric and solar heat pumps for self-sufficient container buildings [21]. Taleb et al [22] developed a container home in a subtropical desert climate with green roofs and green walls as an insulation layer for the container envelope, in which triple glazing windows with low-emissivity film played a key role in reducing the cooling load.…”

Container-based lightweight buildings offer a high ecologic and economic potential when they are designed as nearly zero-energy container buildings (NZECBs). Thus, they are relevant to energy transition in achieving an almost climate-neutral building stock. This paper describes and applies design strategies for suitable building concepts and energy systems to be used in NZECBs for different climates. Therefore, different applications in representative climatic zones were selected. Initially, the global climate zones were characterized and analyzed with regard to their potential for self-sufficiency and renewable energies in buildings. The design strategies were further developed and demonstrated for three cases: a single-family house in Sweden, a multi-family house in Germany, and a small school building in rural Ethiopia. For each case, design guidelines were derived and building concepts were developed. On the basis of these input data, various energy concepts were developed in which solar and wind energy, as well as biomass, were integrated as renewable energy sources. All the concepts were simulated and analyzed with the Polysun® software. The various approaches were compared and evaluated, particularly with regard to energy self-sufficiency. Self-sufficiency rates up to 80% were achieved. Finally, the influence of different climate zones on the energy efficiency of the single-family house was studied as well as the influence of the size of battery storage and insulation.
