A Review of Low-Carbon and Energy-Saving Renovation of Existing Buildings
Publication: ICCREM 2022
ABSTRACT
With the vigorous development of China’s construction industry, the total amount of construction is increasing, and the proportion of energy consumed by the construction industry is also expanding. According to statistics, 35%–40% of the carbon dioxide emissions that cause global warming come from the construction industry, which has become a major carbon emitter. With the introduction of China’s carbon peak and neutrality policy, the low-carbon development of the future construction industry is very important. In order to change the current situation of high energy consumption and high carbon emission of traditional construction industry and adapt to the new development concept of green environmental protection, it is extremely urgent to carry out low-carbon and energy-saving renovation of existing buildings. Based on the current development of the construction industry, this paper reviews the theories and methods of low-carbon energy-saving renovation of existing buildings, summarizes the hot research directions of low-carbon energy-saving renovation of existing buildings using literature analysis, and gives suggestions for future development, in order to promote the research of low-carbon energy-saving renovation of existing buildings and provide theoretical basis for low-carbon energy-saving renovation of buildings.
