この論文は、南アフリカを参考に、新興国でのネットゼロ建築の実現可能な経路を探る。建物の全ライフサイクルでの炭素排出（運用・体現炭素）を考慮し、パッシブ設計や材料選択などの初期設計判断が重要だと指摘。規制、認証、グリーンファイナンスなどの支援条件も必要で、統合的アプローチが炭素削減とライフサイクルコスト改善に有効と結論づける。
English
This chapter examines pathways to net-zero buildings in emerging economies, using South Africa as a case study. It emphasizes that both operational and embodied carbon must be addressed across the building life cycle, and that early design decisions (passive design, material selection) are critical. Enabling conditions like regulation, certification, and green finance are also essential. Integrated approaches combining LCA, passive design, and modular construction achieve measurable carbon reductions and improve life-cycle cost performance.

📝 gxceed 編集解説 — Why this matters
日本のGX文脈において
日本では建築物のZEB化が進むが、体現炭素の評価はまだ限定的。本論文のライフサイクル視点や政策・金融の統合アプローチは、日本の建築GX戦略（特にLCAの導入やグリーンファイナンス活用）に示唆を与える。
In the global GX context
This paper offers transferable principles for net-zero building delivery in emerging economies, relevant to global efforts under the Paris Agreement. It highlights the need for integrated policies (regulation, certification, finance) which resonates with the ISSB's emphasis on building-level climate disclosures and transition finance for the built environment.

📄 Abstract（原文）
This chapter examines practical and scalable pathways for achieving net-zero carbon emissions in the built environment, with a focus on developing regions and South Africa as a reference context. It shows that total building emissions come from both operational energy use and embodied carbon in materials, which means that net-zero strategies must consider the full building life cycle rather than operational energy alone. The chapter explains how early design decisions, including passive design, material selection, and structural systems, strongly influence total carbon outcomes and long-term performance. The findings show that passive design, energy efficiency, and life cycle carbon assessment provide the most reliable foundation for reducing emissions, while renewable energy systems are most effective when added after energy demand has been reduced. The chapter also demonstrates that net-zero delivery depends not only on technical design but also on enabling conditions such as, regulation, certification systems, green finance instruments, and institutional capacity. Case study evidence from South Africa confirms that integrated approaches combining life cycle assessment, passive design, modular construction, and operational management can achieve measurable carbon reductions and improve life cycle cost performance. The chapter concludes that scalable net-zero building delivery in developing regions is achievable when design, finance, policy, and governance measures are implemented together. It provides structured implementation guidance and transferable principles to support net-zero building delivery in South Africa and similar emerging economy contexts.
