The development of low-energy buildings is an important initiative to achieve carbon peaking by 2030 and carbon neutrality by 2060. According to the data of the relevant papers, if all the northern urban and rural buildings in China adopt passive ultra low energy building technology, it can save about 350 million tons of coal for heating and reduce about 900 million tons of carbon dioxide emissions each year. It’s of great significance to achieve the goals of “peak carbon dioxide emissions” and “carbon neutrality”. Starting from four key technologies for low-energy buildings, explanation and analysis the energy-saving methods for low-energy buildings, It also presents the challenges and suggestions for the development of low-energy buildings in China.
