“…In addition, the earlier the peak time is reached, the lower the peak emissions will be, which is more conducive to the goal of long-term carbon neutrality. Therefore, China's commercial buildings still need to further increase their efforts to take action to reduce emissions in order to reduce the burden of emission reductions faced after 2030 [60].…”

The rapid growth of energy consumption in commercial building operations has hindered the pace of carbon emission reduction in the building sector in China. This study used historical data to model the carbon emissions of commercial building operations, the LASSO regression was applied to estimate the model results, and the whale optimization algorithm was used to optimize the nonlinear parameter. The key findings show the following: (1) The major driving forces of carbon emissions from commercial buildings in China were found to be the population size and energy intensity of carbon emissions, and their elastic coefficients were 0.6346 and 0.2487, respectively. (2) The peak emissions of the commercial building sector were 1264.81 MtCO2, and the peak year was estimated to be 2030. Overall, this study analyzed the historical emission reduction levels and prospective peaks of carbon emissions from China’s commercial buildings from a new perspective. The research results are helpful for governments and decision makers to formulate effective emission reduction policies and can also provide references for the low-carbon development of other countries and regions.

“…Taking Chinese commercial buildings as an example, this study makes an extensive data analysis on the road map of gradual carbon neutralization of building operation through the analysis of dynamic emission scenarios for the first time. The carbon emissions of commercial building operations will reach a peak in 2039 (± 5), and emission factors and energy intensity are the main factors affecting the carbon peak [23].…”

One of the objectives of coupling coordination between the logistics industry and manufacturing industry (hereinafter referred to as "two industries coordination") is to improve the competitiveness of the manufacturing industry.Using the slacks-based method (SBM) and coupling coordination degree model, the coupling coordination scheduling between the logistics industry and manufacturing industry is measured, and the coupling coordination measurement system of the logistics industry and manufacturing industry under low-carbon constraints is constructed. The DEA Malmquist model is used to measure the level of manufacturing upgrading, and a threshold regression model is used to study the mechanism of the two industries' coordination on manufacturing upgrading. The empirical study found that during 2009-2019, the average coordination of the two industries in the Yangtze River Delta was 0.64, which was basically in the stage of good coordination, and the coupling level showed a gradual upward trend. From 2009 to 2019, the average total factor productivity index of the manufacturing industry was 1.23, showing an upward trend. The coordination of the two industries can promote the upgrading of the manufacturing industry, and there is an obvious inverted U-shaped relationship. There is a double threshold for industrial scale and technological innovation. When the scale of the manufacturing industry is between 79.1 billion yuan and 97.4 billion yuan, the impact of industrial coupling coordination on the production efficiency of the manufacturing industry is greater.When the R&D expenditure is less than 9.89 billion yuan, the impact of industrial coupling coordination on the production efficiency of the manufacturing industry is greater. The study found that the larger the industrial scale of the manufacturing industry is, the more conducive it is to the coordination of the two industries, and the coupling coordination does not increase with the increase in R&D investment. The manufacturing industry is mainly light industry, so the proportion of optimal assets is relatively low under low-carbon constraints. The upper limit of optimal science and technology expenditure shows that there is the problem of excessive investment of optimal science and technology funds under low-carbon constraints.

Due to large energy consumption and carbon emissions (ECCE) in the building sector, there is huge potential for carbon emission reduction, and this will strongly influence peak carbon emissions and carbon neutrality in the future. To get a better sense of the current research situation and future trends and to provide a valuable reference and guidance for subsequent research, this study presents a summary of carbon peak and carbon neutrality (CPCN) in buildings using a bibliometric approach. Three areas are addressed in the review through the analysis of 364 articles published from 1990–2021: (1) Which countries, institutions, and individuals have conducted extensive and in-depth research on CPCN in buildings, and what is the status quo of their collaboration and contributions? (2) What subjects and topics have aroused wide interest and enthusiasm among scholars, and what are their time trajectories? (3) What journals and authors have grabbed the attention of many scholars, and what are the research directions related to them? Moreover, we propose future research directions. Filling these gaps will enrich the research body of CPCN and overcome current limitations by developing more methods and exploring other practical applications.
