Abstract
Abstract Decarbonization of buildings is an imperative and challenging task. Beyond the common challenges associated with building decarbonization, those in high-density urban areas also face technical challenges due to geographical conditions and resource endowments. As decarbonization practices deepen, it has been found that reliance on conventional methods is fraught with difficulties, primarily due to the high proportion of incremental costs involved. This review study explores methods not widely incorporated into existing building energy efficiency standards but which hold the potential for aiding decarbonization. It advocates for a synergistic strategy involving surrounding infrastructure such as power and other building energy systems, innovative low-carbon building materials, and greenery to facilitate this transition.
