Literature Review on The Whole Life Cycle Assessment of Passive Buildings in The Context of Dual Carbon Emissions

Abstract

With the increasing global demand for sustainable buildings, passive building design has become an area of concern. The design concept of passive buildings is known for its efficient energy use and excellent indoor environmental quality. However, there is a need to delve deeper in order to fully assess the economics and sustainability of passive buildings. The whole life cycle management of passive buildings is a relatively new management concept, and the evaluation research of the whole life cycle of passive buildings under the dual-carbon target is still limited. This paper reviews the evaluation methods and criteria based on the whole life cycle of passive buildings. The literature review includes research conducted over the past two decades and will focus on evaluation indicators for passive buildings. Many reviews present evaluation indicators for low energy design in the full life cycle evaluation of passive buildings and discuss future design directions. This literature review serves as a preliminary step to guide the evaluation criteria of passive buildings in light of China's two-carbon target, which will help to enrich the evaluation indicators of passive buildings and promote the transition to high-quality development of passive buildings.
