Research on Application and International Policy of Renewable Energy in Buildings

Abstract

It has been proposed in China that the country should reach a “carbon peak” by 2030 and be “carbon neutral” by 2060. In the context of energy conservation and emission reduction, the country’s energy structure needs to be transformed to improve the technology level and more widespread consumption of renewable energy. The global renewable energy utilization situation is first analyzed in this study from the perspective of renewable energy and the buildings using it, highlighting the importance of the application of renewable energy in buildings. Secondly, from the perspective of solar energy utilization technology, ground source heat pump technology, and systems for managing energy use in buildings, the progressiveness of renewable energy applications in buildings is analyzed. The application of these technologies in buildings is demonstrated from various angles. Thirdly, the development prospect of buildings using renewable energy is discussed from the perspective of the promotion of renewable energy-powered buildings and green construction. The development prospects of buildings using renewable energy are discussed from the economic benefits of green finance, the promotion and social support of renewable energy, and the environmental benefits of green buildings. Finally, based on studies in the United States, the United Kingdom, Russia, and China, the international energy policy and development direction, as well as the evaluation criteria of green buildings, are discussed, along with an assessment system for green buildings that is complementary to the strategic agreement.

Historic Building Renovation with Solar System towards Zero-Energy Consumption: Feasibility Analysis and Case Optimization Practice in China

“…Although the application of renewable energy faces challenges in certain regions, these issues can be addressed through improved calculation methods, local design, and integrated renewable energy systems [17]. The studies by [18,19] emphasize the importance of achieving low-carbon buildings, with [19] specifically highlighting the role of solar power, ground source heat pump technology, and energy management systems. Tan et al [20] discuss the suitability of different renewable energy sources in buildings, while Zhang et al [21] predict the potential energy consumption substitution and the share of renewable energy in building energy consumption.…”

A new model to predict soil thermal conductivity

“…As an important part of the earth's critical zone, soil layer is a channel that controls the material transformation and energy flow 1 – 3 . In recent years, with the rise of geothermal energy 4 – 6 , understanding the soil thermal conductivity ( λ ) is crucial for designing and optimizing engineering projects 7 , 8 . λ is one of the important parameters describing the thermal properties of soil.…”

Sustainable Development Processes for Renewable Energy Technology II: An Overview

“…The works of many authors today emphasize the leading role of renewable thermal energy in meeting the needs cities have for cheap energy supply, i.e., [21][22][23]. In this regard, in their article in this Special Issue, L'.…”
