| Abstract | The transition to clean and sustainable energy systems in the building sector is vital to reduce global greenhouse gas emissions. In this regard, shifting the focus from single buildings to clusters of buildings, such as at the district level, can provide more effective sustainable solutions. In this study, the term Multi Building Energy Systems (MBES) was introduced to represent various scales, from local communities to districts and larger urban areas. This approach reflects a more inclusive understanding of sustainability potentials for large-scale building blocks that goes beyond traditional boundaries. Such systems encompass the aggregated energy impacts of multiple buildings whether physically proximate or connected via smart grid technologies that enable two-way energy and information flows. This paper comprehensively reviewed case studies on MBES that have achieved zero-energy, nearly-zero-energy, and positive-energy performance. The literature review, facilitated by a combination of database searches and snowball search techniques, has yielded 67 relevant case studies. The findings revealed diverse pathways towards achieving optimal renewable energy production depending on the location and the climate. Integration of renewable energy sources and energy storage systems is pivotal in achieving economies of scale, reducing operational costs, and enhancing resilience and reliability of energy supply at the neighbourhood scale. Total energy use and emissions reduction could be achieved by considering the architectural features of the building stocks. The study highlighted the need for adaptive strategies in MBES implementation to address challenges such as power grid overloads and the complexities of spatial arrangement, to meet current demands, while ensuring long-term energy resilience and sustainability in evolving urban landscapes. The limited adoption of MBES simulation software suggests a need for accessible tailored software. Future research should focus on developing advanced personalised energy management and control strategies, while continuously assessing emerging technologies for improving MBES performance. © 2024 The Author(s) |
