Technology pathway of efficient and climate-friendly cooling in buildings: Towards carbon neutrality.

The carbon emission from the chiller plant mainly come from two major building stages: construction and operation, of which the majority of the carbon emission (around 80%) is from the operation management of buildings. On 22 September 2020, the President Xi of China stated that[2] 'Achieving carbon peaking and carbon neutrality is a profound economic and social revolution, and it should be incorporated into the overall planning of ecological civilization construction, so as to achieve carbon peaking by 2030 and carbon neutrality by 2060'. Carbon neutrality is a balance between carbon source reduction and carbon absorption, i.e. reducing carbon emission sources while also having an important consideration on carbon elimination and absorption.
