### Theoretical Significance  
The study on the quantification mechanism and optimization of energy utilization, energy conservation, energy production, and intelligent systems in TIZCB not only provides a new theoretical framework, perspectives, and methods but also presents new challenges and directions for theoretical development and practical application in the fields of architecture and environmental engineering. The theoretical significance of this research can be discussed from three aspects:  
1. Provide a new theoretical framework for the integration of energy utilization, energy conservation, energy production, and intelligent systems in TIZCB. Traditional building design methods often lack holistic considerations. A comprehensive perspective is crucial for understanding and optimizing the energy efficiency, environmental impact, and user experience of buildings, especially in regions with unique climatic conditions such as tropical islands. This research proposes an integrated theoretical framework for ZCB systems on tropical islands, considering the interaction and synergy effects of various systems. The introduction of this framework not only advances the development of architectural design theory but also provides new research directions for green and sustainable building.
2. Offer a new quantitative approach for modeling energy utilization, energy conservation, energy production, and intelligent systems in TIZCB. Traditional building energy efficiency models often focus on specific aspects, such as thermal efficiency or energy consumption, lacking a comprehensive quantification of the building as a whole system. The introduced systemic quantification mechanism considers not only traditional energy efficiency parameters but also quantifies renewable energy integration and the efficiency of intelligent systems. In the early design stage, a comprehensive quantitative analysis will more accurately assess and predict the building's performance in actual operation, providing a scientific basis for subsequent optimization. This new quantitative approach holds significant value in advancing theoretical development in the fields of architecture and environmental engineering.
3. Provide a new method for optimizing the design of energy utilization, energy conservation, energy production, and intelligent systems in TIZCB. In the unique climatic conditions of tropical islands, where the concept and definition of ZCB and their technical systems are still evolving, traditional architectural design theories, technical methods, and engineering experience may no longer be applicable. Through single-system and multi-system data-driven analyses of energy utilization, energy conservation, energy production, and intelligent systems, the research proposes single-system-multi-objective and multi-system-multi-objective method strategies for optimal design. This optimization design considers building geographical location, structure, material selection, energy system design, and the application of intelligent management systems. It aims to propose building solutions more suitable for the tropical island climate, with important theoretical significance for improving building practicality and sustainability.
