While rooftop solar photovoltaic (PV) systems are sufficient for low-rise buildings, their effectiveness diminishes in high-rise structures due to limited roof area and high energy demands. The integration of BIPV/T systems in high-rise buildings offers a promising path to achieving net-zero energy goals and decarbonising the building sector. This systematic literature review (SLR) analyses research from January 2014 to January 2025, exploring the role of BIPV/T systems in enabling net-zero energy buildings (nZEB), particularly in high-rise applications. The review identifies key advancements in system design, modelling approaches, thermal storage integration, and architectural adaptability. While water-based BIPV/T systems demonstrate superior thermal performance, air-based systems are more commonly implemented due to simpler integration. Advanced configurations, such as those incorporating phase change materials (PCMs), heat pipes, and concentrators, enhance energy output and thermal regulation, making them highly suitable for dense urban environments. Despite significant advancements in BIPV/T efficiency and design innovations, the review finds that less than 15 % of PV/T research focuses on BIPV/T applications, with even fewer studies targeting high-rise buildings. The review emphasises the importance of integrating BIPV/T systems with heat pumps, thermal storage, and predictive modelling (including AI/ML techniques) to optimise energy performance and reach net-zero goals. It also highlights the role of BIPV/T systems in mitigating the Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect by reducing building surface temperatures and emissions.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":15064,"journal":{"name":"Journal of building engineering","volume":"114 ","pages":"Article 114284"},"PeriodicalIF":7.4,"publicationDate":"2025-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145254747","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper brings together the development and validation processes of a novel early-stage decision support framework for building refurbishment towards zero carbon emissions in New Zealand (RefurbZC). The development of the framework was based on the critical analysis and interpretation of the literature review, preliminary study, and case study of university buildings in New Zealand, which integrate international best practices adopted to the local context and lessons learnt from real-life case studies. The framework was validated and refined using a focus group workshop with New Zealand building experts involved in the refurbishment process. The new RefurbZC provides a better detailed guideline to use in the early stages of the refurbishment process, focusing on maximising whole-of-life carbon reduction. It helps to understand the refurbishment decision-making process, identify areas for integrating carbon-reduction initiatives, determine key factors and actors in driving carbon-reduction solutions, and promote stakeholder collaboration and integration in carbon-reduction building refurbishment.

A survey was distributed to 49 practitioners in fields such as engineering, academia, and research, categorized into early-career and mid-expert groups based on their years of experience. The approach involved evaluating and classifying 26 sub-indicators under five main sub-criteria by their significance and net influence as central, impactful, determinant, or independent variables.

In this study, comparative effects of direct carbonation and pre-soaking limewater carbonation on the physical and mechanical properties of the recycled coarse aggregate (RCA) and recycled concrete are systematically analyzed. The carbonation mechanism is elucidated through the water absorption, crushing value, apparent density test, XRD, TG, SEM, and other microscopic characterization techniques. The results indicate that pre-soaking limewater carbonation surpasses direct carbonation, yielding more significant improvements in the water absorption (reduced by 22.9 %), crushing value (reduced by 17.7 %), and apparent density (increased by 4.1 %). These enhancements are attributed to the additional Ca<sup>2+</sup> provided by limewater, which facilitates calcium carbonate precipitation to filling pores and optimizing the interface transition zone (ITZ). Regarding recycled concrete performance, the compressive, axial compressive, splitting tensile, and flexural strengths of recycled concrete prepared with pre-soaking limewater carbonized RCA are superior to those of direct carbonation group at both 7 d and 28 d ages, which is more obvious at high replacement rate. The underlying mechanism involves the carbonation products strengthening ITZ bonding and refining pore structure.

A building digital twin is a virtual replica that captures a building’s static and dynamic behavior through data, information, and models. Digital twin models can be developed using data-driven or physics-based approaches, each with distinct advantages and limitations. Data-driven models can learn complex behaviors from data and scale well, but they require large datasets and often lack interpretability. In contrast, physics-based models offer interpretability and generalizability through fundamental principles but can be computationally demanding. Consequently, building digital twins can benefit greatly from integrating both approaches through hybrid modeling. However, the literature lacks a comprehensive analysis of integration strategies within building digital twins. This study addresses that gap by reviewing advances in data-driven and physics-based modeling and analyzing various integration levels. The results show that most studies rely on siloed models, using either approach independently without leveraging their complementary strengths. Some adopted sequential integration, where one model informs the other but lacks real-time or iterative feedback. A few achieved coupled integration, involving active data exchange and collaboration between models. Only three studies explored fusion integration, where both approaches are fully unified into a single model. Based on this review, a method is proposed for selecting the appropriate level of integration, considering factors such as data availability, interpretability, generalizability, and domain knowledge.

A three-dimensional analytical model was developed using ABAQUS software, followed by a comprehensive parametric analysis. The results showed that ECC surface polishing significantly improved the bonding performance, and the thickness of the ECC attached to the peeled CFRP increased significantly. When the tensile strength of the ECC (3.0 MPa) is close to the bond strength of the adhesive layer (3.3 MPa), the ultimate load and ultimate slip of the specimen reach their maximum values. However, this phenomenon does not apply to all cases and is only valid when the CFRP thickness (>0.167 mm) and adhesive layer shear modulus (>450 MPa) are within a specific range. Increasing the CFRP thickness enhances the ultimate load, increases the effective bond length, and increases the thickness of the ECC layer adhering to the CFRP during peeling. In contrast, the shear modulus of the adhesive layer has the least influence on the bond relationship between ECC and CFRP. Finally, the prediction model of the ECC-CFRP bonding relationship was established through data regression analysis of finite element simulations.

To overcome these issues, this research develops a unified framework that integrates Bayesian model updating, life cycle assessment (LCA) and ant colony optimization (ACO) to predict UHPC's mechanical and sustainability performance and optimize mix proportions. Using 102 sets of compressive test data, a physically interpretable and highly accurate strength prediction model was developed, identifying the water-to-binder ratio, silica-to-binder ratio, sand-to-binder ratio, fiber volume fraction and superplasticizer dosage as key factors. An LCA model then quantified how these variables influence the carbon footprint and cost of strength-equivalent UHPC. The ACO algorithm enabled both bi- and tri-objective mix optimization. Key findings include: (i) Reducing water-to-binder and sand-to-binder ratios while increasing silica fume, fiber and superplasticizer contents enhances strength, with the first two factors having the greatest impact. (ii) The Bayesian model surpasses traditional linear models in accuracy, robustness and interpretability. (iii) At equal strength, increasing sand-to-binder lowers cost and emissions; altering silica fume–to–binder ratio slightly affects cost while notably reducing emissions; higher fiber or superplasticizer increases both.
