Abstract

© 2023 IBPSA.All rights reserved.Buildings contribute to a third of total CO2 emissions globally. Further measures to decarbonise buildings are crucially needed to tackle climate change and reach net zero. This paper investigates how building consumes energy in response to the opportunity of adaptive thermal comfort and onsite repurposed geothermal wellbore, under the warming climate. The results show that when both thermal strategies were applied, the building’s energy reliance on non-renewables can be reduced by over a quarter. This work has demonstrated a low-cost viable way of cutting down building’s energy demand and carbon emissions.
