Toward a zero-carbon building future: innovations and challenges for sustainable development in China

International Journal of Low-Carbon Technologies, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 20, P. 531 - 544

Published: Jan. 1, 2025

Abstract Zero-carbon buildings (ZCBs) are a key means to cope with extreme weather caused by greenhouse gases and realize sustainable development in the building sector. Based on necessity urgency of ZCBs, this paper explores prospects ZCBs China, taking into account current state research ZCB design, materials, operation maintenance, intelligent systems, order implement concept “dual-carbon” development. It focuses three questions: (1) How integrate innovative technologies existing buildings; (2) utilize policies promote China; (3) address technological social challenges realizing China.

Promoting net-zero carbon in the Vietnamese construction sector: potential benefits and challenges identified by key stakeholders

Smart and Sustainable Built Environment, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: unknown

Published: March 24, 2025

Purpose Achieving net-zero carbon in construction offers immense environmental and economic benefits, but its widespread adoption developing countries faces unique challenges. While research exists on construction, the specific context of economies like Vietnam remains under-researched. This study bridges this gap by investigating potential benefits challenges related to promoting as perceived key stakeholders sector. Design/methodology/approach Employing a rigorous methodology with four main phases, data collected from professionals was analyzed using various statistical techniques. ANOVA Tukey’s post-hoc analyses were employed identify differences stakeholders’ perceptions, while identified evaluated ranked based their mean scores. Findings The results highlight significant difference perception among stakeholders, including policymakers, contractors, suppliers architects/designers. In addition, all acknowledge social particularly improved air quality, climate change mitigation enhanced corporate responsibility; persist, high initial costs, inadequate business models lack clear standards. Practical implications contributes significantly Vietnamese sector providing valuable recommendations tailored address faced each stakeholder group. These efforts can not only contribute Vietnam’s national goals also serve model for other emerging seeking transition towards more sustainable built environment. Originality/value body knowledge offering comparative analysis how perceive countries. stakeholder-centered approach enhances practical relevance initiatives, effective inclusive pathways toward practices markets.
