Abstract

In the face of rapid urbanisation and increasing carbon emissions, China stands at a critical juncture in its quest for sustainable growth. As one of the world's largest economies, the country is grappling with the intricate task of balancing economic development with ecological preservation. This undertaking is increasingly pressing as the country aims to reach peak carbon emission targets by 2030, while simultaneously dealing with an expected urbanisation rate of 70% and a city population of approximately 1.1 billion. This scenario presents an array of challenges, chief among them being the need to confront rising building service demands, the pursuit of improved comfort lifestyles, energy supplies, and the consequent carbon emission.
