The method is for the installation of a greenhouse foundation for building columns (2) and involves a base formation of a foundation beneath ground level, on the upper end of which an elongated casing is mounted, which extends at least closely to the ground level. The casing is so ...
RCPs represent global warming scenarios because of greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere. The RCPs 4.5 and 8.5 represent the 'business-as-usual' and 'worst-case' scenarios, respectively (Riahi et al., 2011). Table 1. A description of the RCA model used in the current study (more ...

Center for Computing and Data Sciences, Boston University / KPMB Architects + Suffolk. Image Courtesy of KPMB Architects Decarbonization of the building sector is no longer a choice but a necessity. As nations strive to curb their greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, it is increasingly clear that cu...
These studies laid a foundation for the improvement of retrofit policy effectiveness. Most of them focused mainly on developed countries (e.g., German, France, UK, US), but ignored comprehensive policy analysis in developing countries. In fact, the potential of improving building energy efficiency...
GWP stands for Global Warming Potential, and describes the greenhouse gas potential of a substance or a building. The GWP value of a building is calculated based on the construction materials used, the energy footprint and the building's useful life. The higher the GWP value, the more the ...
In the general environment for humans’ survival, all the materials or products used in structures or buildings are called building materials which are the material foundation for all the construction engineering. The building materials discussed in this course are all the materials used in building ...
Embodied carbon, a growing focus of decarbonization efforts for AECO professionals, refers to the greenhouse gas emissions created from the extraction, manufacturing, transportation, installation, maintenance, and disposal of building materials. Unlike operational emissions, which accumulate over a building’...
