Opis

Double carbon targets have been one of the most motivations and targets for China’s social and economic development. Building is one of the most important sectors to achieve energy savings and emission reductions. This book focuses on China’s building energy usage and CO2 emissions, discusses the status quo of China’s building energy of four categories, their characteristics and technologies to improve energy efficiency and achieve zero-carbon emissions. Specifically, this book in 2021 discussed the pathways to achieve carbon neutrality targets for China’s building sector. This book also analyzed the energy mix, energy intensity, and technology perspectives to implement energy and carbon targets in urban residential building areas. This book consists of large-scale survey data, monitoring data and case studies. The discussion on technologies and policies is supported by a variety of evidence and continuous research for more than ten years. The information, data and policy suggestions will interest readers all around the world who work in energy, climate change, engineering and building science areas.

Da Yan

Tenured Professor, School of Architecture, Tsinghua University, China.

Professor Da Yan mainly devoted into three fields: (1) Development of building performance simulation toolkit DeST; (2) Research on quantitative description of occupant behavior; (3) Research on building energy consumption model of China and low-carbon and energy-saving related policy. Based on the above research aspects, Prof. Yan has published over 200 pieces of papers, more than ten books and reports and applied over ten patents and software copyrights. He services as Editor-in-Chief Editor of Building Simulation, which is the first SCI journal in the field of building simulation all over the world. In 2019, he was awarded the title as IBPSA-Fellow. In 2018, he was awarded “Best Review Paper” of Energy and buildings. In 2017, he was awarded “Highly Cited Paper Award” of Building Simulation.

Shan Hu

Assistant Professor, School of Architecture, Tsinghua University, China.

Dr. Shan Hu is an assistant profressor of Tsinghua University. Dr. Shan Hu graduated from Tsinghua University in 2018, worked in the Building Energy Group of the International Energy Agency in 2018, and joined the Building Energy Research Center of Tsinghua University in 2020. She is engaged in modeling and policy research related to building energy and climate change. Her main research results include "Annual Development Research Report on Building Energy Efficiency in China", "China Building Energy Use", "Building energy use in China" (joint report with IEA), "The future of cooling in China" (joint report with IEA (joint report with IEA) and articles in English and Chinese, which are important reference materials for domestic and international understanding of energy consumption and emissions in China's building sector. Currently, Shan Hu is also the chapter scientist and contributing author of the Sixth Assessment Report of the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).
