Abstract
The issue of global warming due to climate change has caused negative impacts in various sectors, including the building and environmental sectors. To overcome this, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) issued a provision that the temperature increase in the 21st century should not exceed 1.50 C. To support sustainable development, the United Nations (UN) has declared the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) which are a joint commitment of countries in the world to achieve public welfare and preserve the environment. Net Zero Carbon or carbon neutral is a concept that refers to the balance between carbon emissions released into the atmosphere and the amount of carbon that must be absorbed or removed from the atmosphere. To reduce the carbon footprint, the approaches used by buildings include reducing carbon emissions in buildings, using renewable energy, sequestering carbon on the site and buying carbon from outside. This approach requires collaboration between stakeholders, such as building owners/users, government and the community. The success of Net Zero Carbon will be able to create a sustainable environment, improve the quality of life, comfort and human health.
