1. To encourage participation from all sectors in the transition toward net-zero emissions by 2050 and to raise public awareness of near zero carbon buildings and sustainable development, the Architecture and Building Research Institute of the Ministry of the Interior will continue to organize the 2025 Near Zero Carbon Building Design Award competition. The aim is to inspire the architectural design industry and university students to incorporate innovative energy-saving technologies into near zero carbon building designs, and to expand public-private collaboration in promoting the development of near zero carbon buildings. Award-winning projects will be considered for inclusion in the 2025 Net Zero Cities Exhibition.
2. This year’s competition is divided into two categories: University Team and Industry Team. Entries must conduct preliminary environmental analyses of their site and apply appropriate near zero carbon building design strategies based on the analysis, such as:
● Energy-efficient building envelope design
● Energy-saving HVAC and lighting systems
● Low-carbon material applications
● Energy management systems
● Diverse power applications
● Deep energy-saving strategies
● Digital integration solutions
● Water and waste management
