effective framework with appropriate indicators for evaluating the environmental performance of buildings and materials for targeting the integration of the sustainable development of a building's entire life cycle, based on ISO standards and environmental legislation, into the design, construction, and ...
ConstructionCarbonWith the advent of awareness regarding carbon emissions and desirable reduction, this paper provides a calculator for the estimation of carbon footprint resulting from construction projects. For this purpose, we developed a software toolkit dubbed 'Carbon Footprint Calculator for ...
The term "Carbon Footprint" is essentially describing how much carbon is being emitted by a certain object, action, or a group. It is important to keep in
Ultimately, this research adds to the ongoing conversation about sustainable construction methods, to lead the path towards an eco-friendlier and environmentally aware future in residential building construction. 展开 关键词: carbon emissions carbon footprint construction materials residential buildings ...

The carbon footprint of the built environment is simply massive—in the extraction, fabrication, transportation and erection of construction materials, but also in how we operate and maintain a structure after it’s built. Reduction of the latter, or operational carbon, is better understood and ...
Prof. Ok concluded, “By reducing the industry's carbon footprint and fostering sustainable construction practices, our work on biochar could significantly contribute to a greener, more resilient, and socially responsible built environment that positively impacts the lives of both current and future ...
But if we truly want to do something about our nation's carbon footprint, the whole construction industryurgently needs to shift, withAustralian government support, towards renewable, low-carbon construction materials and methods. This means tobuild with timber if we can, use steel and concrete ...
Objective: The objective was to analyze the impacts on the environment from residential construction, carrying out a simulation of the carbon footprint of this project and drawing up a comparison with the replacement of conventional materials for alternative materials in Carbon dioxide (CO2) mitigation...
Other ways to reduce the carbon footprint of concrete include using fly ash (a by-product from burning coal in power plants) or slag (a by-product fromsteel production) to partially replace Portland cement. However, sources of these materials will reduce as other industries decarbonize. Over...
