Zero Carbon Buildings in a Major City by 2030
Net-zero buildings require energy-efficient design, renewable energy, and advanced materials. While pilot projects exist, scaling across all new construction is challenging.
Cost, regulatory enforcement, and technological readiness influence adoption. Retrofitting existing buildings remains a separate challenge.
My prediction: By 2030, zero carbon buildings will be common in new developments, but full citywide coverage is unlikely.
