未来已来——零碳规范 The Future Has Arrived-Zero Code

Please scroll down for the English version

一个国家性与国际性新建商业、办公以及中高层住宅建筑的零碳规范

今天,建筑 2030很高兴地宣布用于新建筑的零碳规范的发布。该规范将经济高效的能效标准与场地内和场地外可再生能源相结合,成为净零碳(ZNC)建筑。

 

世界正在经历人类历史上最大的城市人口增长。 全球一半以上的人口现在集中在城市地区,到2060年,预计100亿人口中的三分之二将生活在城市。

 

在可预见的未来,我们的城市每周将增加约150万人

 

这些新的城市居民将需要住房和服务,这包括从学校、办公室、医疗机构到机场和火车站。

思考一下联合国以下的预测:

 

到2060年,全球预计将增加2300亿平方米(2.5万亿平方英尺)的建筑物,或等于目前全球建筑总存量*的面积。这相当于在未来40年里,每34天在地球上建设一个纽约市。

*联合国环境,2017年全球状况报告

 

为了实现《巴黎协议》设定的目标 – 即限制全球温度的平均升幅在2摄氏度以内 ——所有新建筑必须按照高能效标准进行设计,并且不使用排放二氧化碳的化石燃料能源运营; 到2050年,整个建筑环境必须达到碳中和。

 

为什么零碳规范在今天如此重要?

 

尽管世界各地建筑行业的能源效率得到了改善,可再生能源发电的能力也有所增长,但这些还不足以抵消新建筑排放量的增加。 因此,自2010年以来,建筑部门的二氧化碳排放量每年持续增长近1%。

 

我们现在有一个难能可贵的机会以及必须的工具,以在未来几十年的新建建筑运营排放锁定之前就能大幅减少排放。

 

 

零碳规范可以被立即采用,以设计和建设净零碳的建筑物。 它通过将当前具有成本效益的能效标准与场地内和场外的可再生能源相结合来实现这一目标。

 

只有通过消除新建筑物运营产生的二氧化碳排放量,加上可再生能源和现有建筑物能源效率的升级,才能开始全面降低建筑行业的排放量。 为了实现《巴黎协议》的目标,今天我们就要采取行动,在全球实施零碳规范。
 
建筑能效
零碳规范的建筑节能达规包括规定性和性能模拟两个途径(这是基于当前世界各地的城市和建筑专业人士广泛使用的标准),并由达标工具和模拟软件支持。
 
尽管零碳规范纳入了最新的ASHRAE 90.1-2016标准作为建筑能效最低的要求,但其他现有的或新的规定性和性能标准也可以适用,例如国际绿色建筑规范(IGCC),ASHRAE 189.1-2017标准或任何比ASHRAE 90.1-2016标准更严格的建筑能效标准。
 
可再生能源
零碳规范提供可适应的规范式语言,并通过场地内生产和场地外采购的方法,灵活地利用可再生能源。 通过灵活的方法,零碳规范适用于所有新的商业和公共建筑、以及中高层住宅,包括场地内可再生能源发电能力有限的建筑(例如高密度城市环境中的建筑)。

 

零碳规范 – 软件
零碳规范由软件(能源计算器)支持,可简化实施流程,并在应用规定性的合规路径时减少错误。 该软件的应用程序接口(API)已经开发完成,使软件能够作为智能手机和平板电脑的网站或应用程序实施。使用零碳规范的方法无需开发新的合规工具和机制,节省多年的时间和宝贵的资源。

 

 

零碳规范 - 采纳
采纳零碳规范的管辖机构可以通过激励或强制要求实施规范。如欲访问零碳规范网站(暂时只有英文),包括API文档和模拟界面,并下载零碳规范和场地外采购可再生能源的技术支持文档,请访问www.zero-code.org

 

零碳规范对于减少全球二氧化碳排放量至关重要。
我们必须分秒必争!

 

 

后续
由加利福尼亚州州长办公室和加利福尼亚能源委员会支持的加州零碳规范正在制定中,并将于2018年9月12日至14日在旧金山举行的气候行动峰会上发布。我们同时在与中国的合作伙伴和专业组织讨论零碳/能耗行业标准的制定。

 

下一步
如果我们认真对待气候变化和实现巴黎协议目标,我们的建筑材料和施工流程都必须达到零碳,并开始翻新全球现有的建筑,以达到净零碳标准。

Introducing a national and international ZERO Code for new commercial, institutional, and mid- to high-rise residential buildings

Today, Architecture 2030 is excited to announce the publication of the ZERO Code for new building construction, which integrates cost-effective energy efficiency standards with on-site and/or off-site renewable energy resulting in Zero-Net-Carbon (ZNC) buildings.

 

The world is currently undergoing the largest wave of urban growth in human history. More than half of the global population is now concentrated in urban areas, and by 2060 two thirds of the expected population of 10 billion will live in cities.

 

We are adding about 1.5 million people to cities every weekfor the foreseeable future.

 

These new city dwellers will need housing and services, from schools, offices, and health facilities to airports and train stations.

 

Reflect for a minute on the following United Nations projection:

 

By 2060, the world is projected to add 230 billion m2 (2.5 trillion ft2) of buildings, or an area equal to the entire current global building stock*. This is the equivalent of adding an entire New York City to the planet every 34 days for the next 40 years.
*UN Environment, Global Status Report 2017

 

In order to achieve the target set by the Paris Agreement ­– to limit the rise in global average temperature to below the 2 degree C threshold – all new construction must be designed to high energy efficiency standards and use no CO2-emitting fossil fuel energy to operate; by 2050 the entire built environment must be carbon neutral.

 

Why is the ZERO Code so important today?

 

While there have been worldwide improvements in building sector energy efficiency, as well as growth in renewable energy generating capacity, these have not been nearly enough to offset the increase in emissions from new construction. As a result, building sector CO2 emissions have continued to rise by nearly 1% per year since 2010.

 

We now have a critical window of opportunity, as well as the necessary tools needed to address this massive amount of new construction before its operating emissions are locked-in for decades to come.

 

The ZERO Code, which can be adopted immediately, results in ZNC buildings. It accomplishes this by incorporating current and cost-effective energy efficiency standards with on-site and/or off-site renewable energy provisions.

 

Only by eliminating CO2 emissions from new building operations will renewable energy additions, and existing building stock energy efficiency upgrades, begin to reduce building sector emissions overall. To meet Paris Agreement targets, action is needed today to implement the ZERO Code worldwide.

 

Building Energy Efficiency
The ZERO Code includes prescriptive and performance paths for building energy efficiency compliance (based on current standards that are widely used by municipalities and building professionals worldwide) and is supported by compliance tools and simulation software.

 

While the ZERO Code incorporates the latest ASHRAE Standard 90.1-2016 requirements for minimum building efficiency, other existing or new prescriptive and performance standards can also be accommodated, such as the International Green Construction Code (IgCC), ASHRAE Standard 189.1-2017, or any building energy efficiency standards that are more stringent than ASHRAE Standard 90.1-2016.

 

Renewable Energy
The ZERO Code offers code adaptable language and a flexible approach for incorporating renewable energy, both through on-site generation and/or off-site procurement. By establishing a flexible approach, the ZERO Code is applicable to all new commercial and institutional buildings, and mid- to high-rise housing, including buildings with limited on-site renewable energy generating capacity (e.g. buildings in dense urban environments).

 

ZERO Code – Software
The ZERO Code is supported by software (an Energy Calculator) that eases the implementation process and reduces errors when applying the prescriptive compliance path. An Application Program Interface (API) for the software has been developed, enabling it to be implemented as a website or an application for smart phones and tablets. Ultimately this approach will save years and valuable resources that would otherwise be spent on developing new compliance tools and mechanisms.

 

 

ZERO Code – Adoption
The ZERO Code can be incentivized or required by adopting jurisdictions. To access the ZERO Code website, including API documentation and the simulation interface, and to download the ZERO Code and Technical Support Document for the off-site procurement of renewable energy, visit www.zero-code.org

 

 

The ZERO Code is essential in advancing CO2 emissions reductions worldwide. 

Time is of the essence!

 

More to Come
The California ZERO Code, supported by the California Governor’s Office and California Energy Commission, is in development and will be presented at the Climate Action Summit being held in San Francisco, September 12 – 14, 2018. The creation of a ZERO Code industry standard is also being discussed with colleagues and professional organizations in China.

 

Next Up
And, if we’re serious about addressing climate change and meeting the Paris Agreement targets, we must also decarbonize building materials and construction processes, and begin renovating the existing global building stock to ZNC standards, NOW!
