文摘This paper analyzes North American shifts in renewable energy finance and building energy technologies from 2022 to 2025.Fueled by net-zero targets and policy incentives,clean energy investment now surpasses fossil fuel spending.We examine key financial tools—green bonds,corporate power purchase agreements(PPAs),public-private partnerships,and tax credits—and parallel advances in smart meters,grid-interactive efficient buildings,battery storage,heat pumps,and net-zero construction.Through case studies of municipal retrofit financing,integrated smart homes,and net-zero campuses,we illustrate emerging finance-technology-policy ecosystems poised to accelerate the energy transition and bolster climate resilience.
