“…Current net-zero emissions buildings and standards fail to consider the dynamic of emissions. First, they usually focus on compensating operation energy on a yearly basis, but a yearly calculation hides the hourly dynamic and fails to point out the difficulty of daily (Barone et al 2019) and seasonal storage (Kaufmann & Winnefeld 2019;Rostampour et al 2019). The second failure is to consider embodied emissions on a yearly basis.…”

Target values for creating carbon budgets for buildings are important for developing climateneutral building stocks. A lack of clarity currently exists for defining carbon budgets for buildings and what constitutes a unit of assessment-particularly the distinction between production-and consumption-based accounting. These different perspectives on the system and the function that is assessed hinder a clear and commonly agreed definition of 'carbon budgets' for building construction and operation. This paper explores the processes for establishing a carbon budget for residential and non-residential buildings. A detailed review of current approaches to budget allocation is presented. The temporal and spatial scales of evaluation are considered as well as the distribution rules for sharing the budget between parties or activities. This analysis highlights the crucial need to define the temporal scale, the roles of buildings as physical artefacts and their economic activities. A framework is proposed to accommodate these different perspectives and spatio-temporal scales towards harmonised and comparable cross-sectoral budget definitions. Policy relevance The potential to develop, implement and monitor greenhouse gas-related policies and strategies for buildings will depend on the provision of clear targets. Based on global limits, a carbon budget can establish system boundaries and scalable targets. An operational framework is presented that clarifies greenhouse gas targets for buildings in the different parts of the world that is adaptable to the context and circumstances of a particular place. A carbon budget can enable national regulators to set feasible and legally binding requirements. This will assist the many different stakeholders responsible for decisions on buildings to coordinate and incorporate their specific responsibility at one specific level or scale of activity to ensure overall compliance. Therefore, determining a task specific carbon budget requires an appropriate management of the global carbon budget to ensure that specific budgets overlap, but that the sum of them is equal to the available global budget without double-counting.

“…The application of the developed method in a residential building indicates that a PV-hydrogen-REVB hybrid energy system is a promising way to exploit REVBs' residual capacities. Similarly, Barone et al, proposed the concept 'Building-to-Vehicle-to-Building' (B2V2B), which enables the bidirectional electricity exchange of EV batteries with buildings [50]. They also developed a novel energy management system for buildings connected in a microgrid, by considering EVs as active components of such an energy scheme.…”

“…Based on the developed system structure, they developed a two-stage control method to control the EV charging/discharging rates as well as the energy trades within the multiple microgrids and with the power grid. Compared with the concept proposed by Barone et al [50], which uses EV batteries with limited capacity as the medium for energy sharing among different buildings, Zhang et al's developed structure is much more flexible and enables larger amount of energy sharing. However, the stochastic charging behavior of EVs, the integration of thermal energy storage systems and dynamic electricity prices are not considered in their study.…”

The deployment of solar photovoltaics (PV) and electric vehicles (EVs) is continuously increasing during urban energy transition. With the increasing deployment of energy storage, the development of the energy sharing concept and the associated advanced controls, the conventional solar mobility model (i.e., solar-to-vehicles (S2V), using solar energy in a different location) and context are becoming less compatible and limited for future scenarios. For instance, energy sharing within a building cluster enables buildings to share surplus PV power generation with other buildings of insufficient PV power generation, thereby improving the overall PV power utilization and reducing the grid power dependence. However, such energy sharing techniques are not considered in the conventional solar mobility models, which limits the potential for performance improvements. Therefore, this study conducts a systematic review of solar mobility-related studies as well as the newly developed energy concepts and techniques. Based on the review, this study extends the conventional solar mobility scope from S2V to solar-to-buildings, vehicles and storage (S2BVS). A detailed modeling of each sub-system in the S2BVS model and related advanced controls are presented, and the research gaps that need future investigation for promoting solar mobility are identified. The aim is to provide an up-to-date review of the existing studies related to solar mobility to decision makers, so as to help enhance solar power utilization, reduce buildings’ and EVs’ dependence and impacts on the power grid, as well as carbon emissions.

“…Another important factor in transportation networks are the increasing number of electric vehicles (EV). Buildings, commercial and residential, provide charging stations for EVs and therefore, are important in the mobility patterns of occupants [104]. Also, the storage capacity of EVs can be utilized in buildings for other applications.…”

Buildings are widely regarded as potential sources for demand flexibility. The flexibility of thermal and electric load in buildings is a result of their interactive nature and its impact on the building’s performance. In this paper, the interaction of a building with the three interaction counterparts of the physical environment, civil infrastructure networks and other buildings is investigated. The literature review presents a wide variety of pathways of interaction and their associated potential impacts on building performance metrics such as net energy use, emissions, occupant comfort and operational cost. It is demonstrated that all of these counterparts of interaction should be considered to harness the flexibility potential of the buildings while maintaining other buildings performance metrics at a desired level. Juxtaposed with the upside potential for providing demand flexibility, numerous implementation challenges are identified that are associated with the evaluation and financial valuation of the capacity for demand flexibility, the aggregated flexibility potential, as well as the control and communication to facilitate the interactions.
