Zero-Energy and Low Carbon Buildings
As the global focus shifts toward combating climate change, zero-energy and low-carbon buildings have emerged as essential components of sustainable urban development. This chapter explores the innovative design and technological advancements driving the development of zero-energy and low-carbon buildings. It examines strategies aimed at reducing energy consumption while enhancing environmental sustainability, focusing on energy-efficient insulation, passive solar heating, and the integration of renewable energy systemsRenewable energy systems such as solar and wind power. Additionally, it highlights the role of smart grids and building energy management systems (BEMSBuilding Energy Management Systems (BEMS)) in optimizing energy use and enabling buildings to contribute to larger energy networks. The chapter provides a global perspective on the adoption of these buildings, particularly in North America, Europe, and Asia, where rigorous energy policies and incentives support their growth. Economic and health benefits, including lower operating costs, increased property value, and improved indoor air quality, are discussed, showcasing the comprehensive advantages of zero-energy and low-carbon buildings. As cities worldwide prioritize sustainable development, these buildings are becoming central to urban planning and the creation of resilient, energy-efficient infrastructures.
