Systematic review reveals integration technologies and methodologies for optimizing energy efficiency and emissions reduction in buildings.
Under the dual impetus of the global energy crisis and carbon neutrality objectives, the construction sector, as a critical domain of energy consumption and carbon emissions, urgently requires green transformation through multi-energy complementary systems. This paper systematically reviews the coupling mechanisms, integration technologies, and synergistic optimization methodologies of multi-energy complementary building energy systems, elucidating their roles in enhancing energy efficiency, reducing lifecycle carbon emissions, and advancing net-zero energy building development. Research demonstrates that integrating renewable energy technologies, such as building-integrated photovoltaic/thermal (BIPVT) systems and hydrogen complementary systems, effectively addresses energy volatility and intermittency while balancing architectural aesthetics with economic viability. The study underscores that large-scale implementation of multi-energy complementary systems necessitates regionally adaptive design frameworks, long-term performance monitoring protocols, and multi-stakeholder collaboration, thereby offering theoretically innovative and practically actionable solutions for global low-carbon building transitions.
