Research on Carbon Emission Pathways and Scenario Models in the Building Sector

\nEnergy conservation and emission reduction constitute pivotal measures for advancing China’s high-quality development. Since 2020, the “Dual Carbon” initiative, encompassing carbon peaking and carbon neutrality, has emerged as a cornerstone of China’s national strategy. Carbon emissions throughout the lifecycle of buildings in the building sector exceed half of all energy-related carbon emissions. Understanding and managing carbon emission pathways and patterns, particularly in the context of energy-efficient green buildings, stands as a critical imperative within the current building industry. This study employs various scenario models to calculate and analyze the potential benefits of promoting green building applications under different scenarios. It also investigates how energy conservation primarily contributes to reducing carbon emissions.\n
