Design Strategies for Zero-Energy and Zero-Carbon Buildings

Global warming, which is mostly caused by carbon emissions, is one of the most important issues the world is currently experiencing. As a result, reducing carbon dioxide emissions has emerged as one of the world's most pressing issues. To meet carbon reduction goals, low-carbon or zero-carbon building design is crucial. The building construction sector has been found to be one of the main sources of carbon emissions across all industries. This study's goal is to find architectural design solutions that lower energy use and carbon dioxide emissions. The necessary data was gathered from books and scholarly publications, and the study methodology is based on a descriptive-analytical approach. The results show that advancing toward zero-energy and zero-carbon buildings and incorporating their design concepts into architectural ideas is necessary to achieve energy consumption reduction. Therefore, in order to better safeguard the environment and prevent climate change, energy consumption levels, energy reduction techniques, and carbon dioxide emissions are taken into account throughout the early stages of design worldwide.
