2.1 Theoretical basis
Decarbonization theory: decarbonization generally refers to the
use of more efficient energy use and social functioning to promote
sustainable urban development through technological advances and changes
in social systems in the process of socioeconomic development [14].
In this paper, the main study is the decarbonization of rural
residential buildings.
Sustainable development theory: is the replacement of used
resources with resources of equal or greater value to maintain the
world’s productivity without degrading or endangering natural
ecosystems. Sustainable development links concerns about the carrying
capacity of natural systems to the social, political and economic
challenges facing human society. Its development has evolved from
academic research to international attention to a broad consensus among
major countries around the globe. Sustainable development is a way of
organizing society that can endure in the long term and implies taking
into account the importance of both the present and the future, such as
the conservation of the environment and natural resources, social and
economic equity [15, 16].
