The carbon reduction of buildings should be prioritized as carbon emissions of buildings account for more than half of the total emissions of the whole society. Finally， green transition and biodiversity can be promoted by setting caps on carbon emissions from building sand vehicles.*This expression...
1, the government subsidises financial institutions that have invested in carbon emission reduction in buildings and uses reward and penalty contracts to encourage construction enterprises to reduce carbon emissions. At the same time, financial institutions will also invest in carbon emission reduction in...
In order to start integrating embodied carbon studies into projects to meet sustainability goals, it is important to consider many factors such as carbon (kgCO2e) values, and what typical ranges of values to be aware of when designing for embodied carbon reduction. This e-book presents an over...
The growing amount of carbon dioxide emissions over buildings' life cycles has prompted academics and professionals to initiate various studies relating to this problem. Researchers have been exploring carbon dioxide reduction methods for each phase of the building life cycle – from planning and design...
neutral buildings are an important direction for the development of green buildings. In addition to adopting ultra-low energy consumption building design strategies, their design should also focus on the carbon emissions throughout the entire life cycle of the building and carry out carbon reduction ...
To be blunt, it may not matter how efficiently we operate our buildings over time if we don’t immediately address the carbon embodied in what and how we build.The good news is, we can take action now to reduce embodied carbon by working with our design partners and the supply chain t...
Data to the rescue: Embodied carbon in buildings and the urgency of now September 15, 2020 | Article Building companies seeking to make informed materials-procurement choices may confront data that are either lacking or too complex. A pre...
China has a huge number of buildings; therefore transforming them for energy saving and carbon reduction isloaded withchallenges. Over the years, China has been promoting energy saving and carbon emission reduction in existing buildings, and has completed the renovation area of more than 2.4 billion...
