description The timeshare is gradually becoming an essential global tourism operation model, especially in rural areas of China, where the leisure industry is developing rapidly. Meanwhile, the environmental issues of the rapidly growing timeshare-related building production have received widespread attention. The existing research on zero-carbon buildings considers carbon emissions as a constant value and cannot adapt to the impact of user changes during the operation phase. Constructing a low-carbon design applicable to timeshare is significant for controlling carbon emissions in the construction industry and responding to the environmental crisis. The practical carbon emissions of touristic apartments depend on the requirement changes in different customer clusters. The timeshare theory reflects the requirement change in different customer clusters based on the timeshare property ownership change. This paper focuses on a dynamic design strategy for zero-carbon building openings to reduce practical carbon emissions. Firstly, this research clarifies the primary customer clusters and conducts a touristic apartment unit model by timeshare property ownership. Then, this research clarifies the changes in customer requirements to analyze the spatial function changes in the operating phase. Finally, the study identifies six dynamic carbon emission indicators, such as the window-to-wall ratio, ventilation rate, and effective daylight area, and through passive design methods, provides 13 variable devices applied in the operating phase to control dynamic carbon emission indicators by customers. This paper also offers a flexible method to effectively decrease and accurately control carbon emissions by reducing the possible device utility.
