To reduce the consumption of electricity and non-renewable energy, China has adopted active energy-saving technologies in building design through the utilization of wind energy, solar energy, and various geothermal resources (Jing, 2003).
Zero-energy buildings have attracted interest worldwide as they consume less energy and can alleviate energy shortages caused by rapid economic development. This paper presents a review of the research and development regarding zero-energy buildings in China.
With the accelerated urbanization and economic development in China, urban housing is becoming larger and larger, and the number of available building roofs will increase. At the same time, technological progress has brought about a lower threshold standard, providing the possibility of using solar energy for residential façades.
Li et al. pointed out that the energy consumption of green residential buildings in China decreases with the increase of star ratings, but also pointed out that the specific projects are characteristic because of the different locations in climate zones, cooling/heating schedules, and operation management (Li et al., 2015).
Due to the increasing pressure to cope with climate change, China has taken the initiative to propose the ecological civilization transformation, so the energy conservation and emission reduction of China's residential buildings in operation phase will act as a critical point for the target of carbon peaking.
Research on energy conservation for building walls in China began in the 1980s. In terms of the type of wall, the majority of the zero-energy buildings in China now use new types of walls.
