Zero-Energy Architecture: Practice of Digitalisation and Alternative Energy to Building Design

Abstract

Climate change is forcing the globe to undergo an energy transition, which has accelerated the shift away from fossil fuels and toward clean energy. In this paper, the researchers analyse and provide the past and current information regarding alternative energy in Malaysia, as well as the barriers renewable energy (RE) deployment for energy-efficient building (EEB). The data collected through reviewed of the literature by other authors (secondary sources) about RE, energy-efficient building, and digitalisation construction in Malaysia. The data reviewed could be used by the policy maker, assisting the local government, enlightening building industry players and the public to highlight the significance to practice and incorporating sustainable framework with the tapping of RE and digitalisation system for every planning that related to zero-energy architecture (ZEA).
