Abstract

The development of cities, associated with economic and social growth, acts as a driving force for energy demand in several scales. Therefore, investment in sustainable technologies, alternative sources of clean energy and the application of bioclimatic architecture strategies has become fundamental for advances to occur in the energy system. In this scenario, Zero Energy Buildings (ZEBs) are aligned with the goals of reducing negative environmental impact since they adopt passive and active energy efficiency solutions, as well as their own generation of clean energy. Thus, the objective of this article is to explore the challenges of the implementation of ZEBs, based on an analysis of the Brazilian context and the regions whose contributions are most significant for research on this topic. To this end, the literature review considered sub-themes that translate the panorama of ZEBs in Brazil and in some of the territories of influence. A direct literature search was performed using keywords and adopted Scopus (Elsevier) as its main database. In addition, other works were also listed through the indirect search of co-referenced articles. The results obtained address a brief overview of public policies and regulations to encourage energy efficiency, as well as some of the challenges encountered for the implementation of ZEBs, especially in Brazil, the United States, the European Union and China. While Brazil presents little expressive results in relation to ZEBs, the other regions have ambitious targets for reducing the consumption of fossil fuels. In all cases, the evidence leads to the conclusion that ZEBs play a crucial role in protecting the environment and as a mitigating agent for climate change.
