Net-Zero Energy Consumption Building in China: An Overview of Building-Integrated Photovoltaic Case and Initiative toward Sustainable Future Development

Carbon-neutral strategies have become the focus of international attention, and many countries around world adopted building-integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) technologies to achieve low-carbon building operation by utilizing power-generating materials generate energy in buildings. The purpose this study is review basic status development China, identify analyze existing problems challenges, propose optimization methods so as better promote overall green buildings net-zero consumption China world. Primarily, research area BIPV focused on Chinese region through a case approach. Subsequently, it elaborates theoretical basis zero-net well current construction world’s standard system, summarizes annual electricity generation zero carbon adopting some European countries. Then, article further quantitatively comprehensively analyzes six successful application cases graphically visually evaluates demonstrates average performance percentage using EPI evaluation measurement tool. At same time, based results above assessment, challenges facing are summarized, specific incentives for new BIPVs proposed address strategic approaches optimize that applicable Europe US. Ultimately, concluded several classic achieved essentially 100% maintenance with significant reductions CO2 emissions savings tens thousands tonnes coal consumption. This shows technology gradually developing maturing there great advantages incremental space promoting future. promotion strategy its also other It hoped experience, will implement “carbon neutral” more efficiently higher quality realize greener cleaner
