Developing ultra-low energy buildings (ULEBs) is a key strategy for achieving the “dual carbon” goals in the construction industry. This paper uses Guangdong Province as a case study to develop a ULEBs emission reduction potential calculation model based on factors such as population dynamics, urbanization rate, per capita building area, building energy consumption structure, CO<sub>2</sub> emissions coefficients, and ULEBs promotion rate. The study evaluates the emission reduction potential of promoting ULEBs in regions with hot summers and warm winters and analyzes the impact of various factors on ULEBs emission reduction potential. The results show that by 2060, under the most aggressive promotion and energy consumption structure scenarios, energy consumption levels could decrease by 65 % compared to 2020, resulting in a reduction of 79.8 million tons of CO<sub>2</sub>. Among the influencing factors, population, promotion rate, and energy-saving rate have the greatest impact on the energy-saving and emission reduction potential of ULEBs. Following these are per capita public building area, per capita urban residential building area, and the urbanization rate. To further reduce CO<sub>2</sub> emissions in the construction field, it is necessary to refine the energy consumption patterns of buildings and augment the electrification rate of their operations.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":49209,"journal":{"name":"Energy for Sustainable Development","volume":"85 ","pages":"Article 101646"},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2024-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143101918","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}

However, urban decoupling has gradually improved over time, with cities experiencing strong or weak decoupling reaching 52.8 %. (3) For cities like CD cities, there are significant urban-rural inequalities in per capita income, but smaller differences in residential buildings' carbon emissions. It is worth noting that NUL cities perform well both in terms of carbon emissions and income equity.

It covers the challenges faced by over a million displaced Syrians in 1293 refugee camps, focusing on the scarcity of fuels for heating and cooking and the consequent health risks due to indoor air pollution. A mixed methods approach was utilized, combining questionnaires from a sample of 439 participants, 75 % of them displaced, indoor air quality monitoring across 14 dwellings and in-depth interviews from 20 homes. The houses monitored were a mixture of apartments, tents, stone cement and containers; with fuel types ranging from diesel, coal and LPG to wood, olive husk and nut shells. The analysis reveals a significant correlation between the use of solid fuels in households and lack of ventilation with the increase in indoor air pollution, with maximum PM<sub>2.5</sub> concentrations above 114 μg/m<sup>3</sup> and maximum TVOC concentrations above 1200 ppb, well above recommended threshold values. This is supported by 36 % of participants reporting health issues, highlighting substantial health risks associated with these practices. It also demonstrates the influence of dwelling typology and ventilation in thermal comfort and indoor air pollution, with containers performing the worst, reaching maximum CO<sub>2</sub> levels above 5000 ppb.

Understanding the current energy landscape requires assessing past achievements, leveraging resources, embracing technological advancements, and implementing effective policies. A thorough analysis is vital to identify gaps in achieving our Nationally Determined Contributions, ultimately facilitating net-zero goals. The urgency to mitigate emissions, heightened by climate-induced events and the need for renewable energy integration, calls for a reconsideration of net-zero timelines. Delayed action poses significant risks to ecosystems and economies globally. This paper explores how different pathways to net-zero emissions for power sector by 2050 & 2070 target years impact the future electricity mix, costs, generation profiles, and emission trajectories. We employ the energyRt optimization model, a bottom-up framework capturing regional, seasonal, and diurnal variations of renewable energy sources for thirty years, from 2020 to 2050. Preliminary analysis suggests current renewable resource estimations might not be sufficient for a 2050 net-zero goal. To meet the projected 6273 TWh demand by 2050, installed capacity would range from 2042 GW to 3100 GW. The base case emission trajectory reaches 2.4 GtCO<sub>2</sub>/year in 2050 with a grid emission factor of 0.369 tCO<sub>2</sub>/MWh.

To achieve net-zero emissions by 2070 and meet 50 % of the total installed capacity from non-fossil fuel-based energy resources by 2030, it plans to build 500 gigawatt (GW) of non-fossil energy capacity comprising mainly 280 GW of solar, 140 GW of wind, and 61 GW of large hydropower projects. Multiple technical and financial impediments are impacting the scale and speed needed to achieve these targets. But that is not all; the planning and execution of such large projects relies heavily on the availability of, and access to, land. The presence of contestations, conflicts and social uprisings from some of India's most dispossessed, marginalised groups, afflicting several planned and ongoing large renewable energy projects highlights the socially complex nature of these developments. This paper is an effort to unpack this complexity by applying the principles of consultation and consent. Specifically, the paper asks three questions: first, what is the nature of engagement and consultation posited in the policy and regulatory landscape currently driving India's renewable energy development process? Second, how does it compare with key international norms and commitments? Third, what recommendations can be made to strengthen consultation and consent principles in India's renewable energy policy and practice? Addressing these questions advances our collective understanding of how renewable energy ambitions interface with India's plans for a people-centric, fair, and just transition.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":49209,"journal":{"name":"Energy for Sustainable Development","volume":"85 ","pages":"Article 101613"},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2024-12-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143102557","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
