• Pearl River Tower(A Near Net Zero Building)in
  Guangzhou, ChinaThe building is designed with
  energy conservation in mind, including wind
  turbines and solar collectors, photovoltaic
  cells, raised floors ventilation, and radiant
  heating and cooling ceilings. It will be arguably
  one of the most environmentally friendly
  buildings in the world.
• Pearl River Towers accomplishments, many are
  related to the sustainable design features
  including
• The largest radiant-cooled office building in the
  world
• Most energy efficient super-tall building in the
  world
• The tower is an example of Chinas goal to reduce
  the intensity of carbon dioxide emissions per
  unit of GDP in 2020 by 40 to 45 percent as
  compared to the level of 2005.

• Conclusions
• Net Zero energy buildings are more a concept than
  a hard target in most of the Asian countries
  except Japan.
• Net Zero energy buildings are usually used to
  demonstrate low carbon technologies.
• The major market for Net Zero energy buildings
  will be in Europe.
• Market adoption for Net Zero buildings worldwide
  will be gradual.
• Net Zero energy buildings will be composed to
  multiple technologies bound together by building
  automation
• China will be posed to dominate the manufacturing
  market for Net Zero subsystems, such as solar
  photovoltaic.
