Abstract

Understanding the different dimensions of the evaluation system for energy consumption and carbon emissions will contribute to a more reliable assessment of building energy efficiency. This chapter provides an in-depth analysis of indicators of building energy and carbon evaluation, covering the building envelope, heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) system, water system, installed equipment, renewable energy, estimated energy consumption, and indoor environmental quality. Furthermore, it reviews existing research efforts and strategies for energy conservation and carbon emissions reduction, and finally proposes recommendations for future research, considering the correspondence between evaluation indicators and strategies. The findings will enhance understanding and implementation of energy efficiency and carbon emission reduction practices, and will also be beneficial to practitioners when evaluating and selecting suitable approaches and tools towards net-zero buildings.
