Amidst the urgent climate change and energy shortage concerns, this study tackles the complex challenge of achieving sustainable development goals in the face of uncertain low-carbon building transformation paths and unclear energy/carbon trading strategies. Employing a comprehensive approach, the research reviews integrated techniques for low-carbon building transition, including energy conservation, clean energy adoption, demand response, and smart EV integration. The study also examines energy/carbon flows and trading within building systems and analyzes global decarbonization roadmaps.

midst a disparity between academic theory and practical implementation, benchmarking for embodied CO2e in buildings remains a challenge. Despite lacking formal policies, industry leaders are proactively embracing CO2e assessment, driven by upcoming regulations and potential rating benefits. The study highlights persistent uncertainties, including institutional, economic, technical, and knowledge-related barriers. Precise scenario predictions, comprehensive life cycle stage consideration, and grid decarbonization are underscored as pivotal factors.
