“…Taking advantage of daylighting and installing lighting management systems in public buildings not only creates a more pleasant and functional lighting environment for human activities, but also helps save energy by reducing the operating duration of the lighting [51]. Studies by Liang et al [104] and Xu et al [105] also demonstrated that lighting has the greatest impact on the carbon emissions of building operations and proved that daylighting and energy efficient lamps are the most effective ways to save energy in office buildings. Therefore, it is highly recommended to reduce lighting energy consumption by using energy-saving lamps, enhancing natural lighting, and adopting lighting controls.…”

Green building technologies (GBTs) play an important role in carbon emission reduction in the building sector. China is currently in the booming phase of green buildings construction and numerous studies have been conducted on green building technologies, especially on the potential of reducing buildings' energy consumption and carbon emissions. This paper provides a comprehensive overview of various GBTs, including high performance envelope, lighting and daylighting, natural ventilation, HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning) system and the utilization of renewable energy. After describing the phases of the building life cycle and the calculation method of building carbon emissions, the literature review focuses on the applications of GBTs in different climate areas in China as well as the main findings and innovations on their carbon reduction potentials. Finally, recommendations for GBTs development are proposed based on the existing researches to facilitate carbon neutrality in the building sector.

“…There are two main sources to collect the operational energy consumption data: 1) the real-world data through energy meters [ 80 ]; 2) the computing results of building performance simulation (BPS) [ 73 ]. Considering that real-world data may be unavailable in some cases (e.g., evaluation for the scheme design), the BPS technology has promoted the feasibility of building OCEs assessment and prediction [ 93 ]. BPS methods can be classified into physical-based and data-driven ones [ 94 ].…”

“…[ 7 ] With the increasing awareness of environmental protection, how to solve the increasing CO 2 has become a challenge for us. [ 8,9 ] Although the production of steel slag will emit a large amount of CO 2 , the steel slag itself carries a large amount of energy, such as heat energy. [ 10–12 ] Therefore, it is necessary to make use of steel slag and the energy it carries, and it is of great significance to use it in the fields of hydrogen production and CO 2 fixation.…”

Steel slag is a waste discharged from the iron and steel smelting process, which has the characteristics of large output, high temperature, complex chemical composition and poor stability. The application of steel slag in hydrogen production and CO2 fixation is of great significance for reducing energy consumption, obtaining renewable energy and fixing CO2 in the air. In this paper, the research progress of high‐temperature sensible heat of steel slag used for hydrogen production and CO2 fixation at medium and low temperature is introduced, the reaction mechanism of different hydrogen production methods and the treatment path and direction of high‐efficiency hydrogen production in the future are deeply analyzed, and the steel slag used for CO2 fixation is discussed and summarized from the theory, effect and treatment mode of CO2 fixation. In the future, the research on the economic benefits of hydrogen production and CO2 fixation from steel slag is a major focus, which can achieve economic benefits while utilizing steel slag resources.
