This study introduces a computationally efficient urban building energy model (UBEM) to assess decarbonization strategies for the residential sector at regional level. The considers range of inputs, including characteristics, climate data, technology penetration, and occupant behavior. provides an economic analysis associating emission reduction potential with returns through abatement cost curve, which is critical designing cost-effective solutions. was validated its full scale in Portugal, using actual consumption data from all municipalities. Key findings showed that lighting upgrades (100% LEDs) are most measure, offering lowest (−521 EUR/tonCO2eq) low discounted payback period 2 years, while heat pumps water heating provide highest potential, annual 863 tonnes CO2eq annually, equivalent 20% national emissions. Additionally, behavioral measures achieved 147 CO2eq. further reveals that, some might have negative level, their viability varies locally, certain municipalities incurring positive costs, highlighting how local context affects strategies.

This study addresses the urgent need to improve energy efficiency in air conditioning systems by developing a low-cost automated control system for mini-split units. In alignment with United Nations Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 12, proposed reduces consumption without compromising user comfort. Implemented an educational building Jalisco, Mexico, integrates Siemens Logo 8 PLC, NodeMCU ESP12-E board, and open-source software operations through temperature sensors infrared signal emitters. A quantitative, descriptive, correlational methodology was applied, yielding significant results: 10.63% reduction 34.8% operating costs. Additionally, maintains stable indoor temperatures within optimal range of 22 24 °C while on local network, ensuring reliability constant internet access. The installation cost per unit USD 95, annual return investment 30.74%, which makes it scalable profitable modernize existing buildings. highlights transformative potential integrating technologies into management, offering practical replicable solution efficiency, particularly resource-limited contexts. These contributions support global efforts mitigate climate change, reduce carbon footprints, promote sustainability goals.
