A systematic review of barriers to implementing net zero energy buildings in Australia

Journal of Cleaner Production, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 467, P. 142910 - 142910

Published: June 15, 2024

Building operations use 45% of the total energy in Australia, and Net-Zero Energy Buildings (NZEBs) are instrumental achieving net zero emissions by 2050. However, research reveals that various factors hinder NZEB adoption it is imperative to contextualise barriers, thereby highlighting clear gaps can be addressed enhance implementation Australia. This study presents a systematic literature review bibliometric analysis examine barriers contextualised within Australian building industry. The paper's novelty resides its contextualisation Emergent results reveal most impactful experienced inter-relatedness between their effects on each other. These identified also compared with comparable countries, including UK, China, Italy US. New insight knowledge acquired provide basis for assessing potential solutions main barriers. Findings show lack knowledge, climate issues, cost addition government policy factors, considered primary encountered industry, hindering achievement NZEBs. It future studies initiatives counteract these impacts realise better context.

Mitigating Financial Risks in Sustainable Public–Private Partnership Infrastructure Projects: A Quantitative Analysis

Systems, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 12(7), P. 239 - 239

Published: July 2, 2024

Economic recession from the coronavirus outbreak continues to have negative rippling effects on local and international financial investments in public–private partnership (PPP) projects Ghana, a developing country. Together with poor reports operating cash-inflows for PPP such as those covering schools, hospitals, railways, fishing harbors, cocoa warehouses, recreational parks affordable housing, there is an urgent need develop institutionalise sustainable robust risk management measures. These measures are meant mitigate losses, promote sustainability practices prolong longevity of infrastructure developments within pacts. Therefore, this study aims assess mitigation Ghana. Primary data survey questionnaires were utilised study, obtained practitioners experts. Data grouped into project type, sectors aid analysis using tools Kruskal–Wallis test, Mann–Whitney U test factor analysis. The results demonstrate green finance, innovative skills competencies teams, models inclusive cost reduction strategies crucial minimising risks delivery. findings significant implications researchers Ghana similar countries understand respond development future research studies.

Status, Challenges and Future Directions in the Evaluation of Net-Zero Energy Building Retrofits: A Bibliometrics-Based Systematic Review

Energies, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 17(15), P. 3826 - 3826

Published: Aug. 2, 2024

Net-zero energy building (NZEB), an initiative to address conservation and emission reduction, has received widespread attention worldwide. This study aims systematically explore recent challenges in NZEB retrofit research through a mixed-method approach provide recommendations future directions. A review of 106 documents (2020–2024) retrieved from the Web Science Scopus databases found that globalization is unstoppable. Assessment methods are diverse, ranging modeling efficiency (using different software such as DesignBuilder 7.0, PVsyst 7.4, EnergyPlus 24.1.0, etc.) multi-attribute decision-making (e.g., DEMATEL-AHP/ANP-VIKOR) comparative analysis. Current assessment metrics dominated by economic benefits net present value, dynamic payback period, total operating cost) consumption electricity generation), with less consideration environmental impacts carbon reduction), well comfort thermal indoor comfort). The current mainly include “Low feasibility retrofitting”, “Building code irrationality”, “Insufficient understanding, communication, trust between stakeholders”. To overcome these challenges, also proposes framework strategies them, including (1) maximizing natural space, (2) introducing tenant equity system, (3) upgrading waste management, (4) strengthening monitoring, (5) establishing complete life cycle mechanisms, (6) providing systemic solutions; (7) promoting use low-carbon materials, (8) increasing policy support.

Breaking down to build up: how deconstruction and carbon finance foster sustainable, resilient construction in the industry 5.0 era

Construction Innovation, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: unknown

Published: Dec. 24, 2024

Purpose This study aims to seek and identify key enablers influencing the integration of deconstruction carbon finance improve sustainable resilient construction in Industry 5.0 era then examines how these relate one another rank, classify prioritize them appropriately. Design/methodology/approach adopts Integrated Decision-Making Trial Evaluation Laboratory-Interpretive Structural Modeling-Matrice d’impacts Croises Multiplication Appliquee a un Classment (DEMATEL-ISM-MICMAC) methodology. Findings The are circular economy approach with closed-loop material flow, prioritizing recovery reuse, structuring credits for affordability. Research limitations/implications industry can advance toward environmentally friendly, building techniques help achieve larger objectives neutrality environmental preservation by adopting study’s guiding principles. Practical implications implies switching rather than linear economic methods. It is still unrealistic zero emissions, which why important because it allows companies trade encourages negative activities structure affordably so that businesses all sizes participate. To extend lives current materials reduce waste, imperative maximize their reuse minimize disposal. Originality/value novelty this research lies introducing concepts sector, particularly focusing on phase, enhance sustainability resilience practices era.
