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 has been promoted through leadership tools like LEED® followed by regulatory legislati...
China will establish a better institutional system of energy conservation and carbon emission reduction in the construction sector, and implement green building standards in newly-constructed urban buildings by 2025. By 2027, there will be large-scale development of buildings with ultra-low energy consu...
Carbon footprint Analysis and Reduction in Construction industry: Case of Existing BuildingSamson Adesope

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...
In the construction process stage (A4-A5), emissions reduction opportunities include focusing on efficient transportation of materials to the site, selecting energy-efficient equipment for installation, and using biofuel blends for equipment. In the use stage (B1-B5), carbon can be reduced by ...
This paper aims to present the state of the art in carbon dioxide reduction studies relating to the construction industry. Studies of carbon dioxide reduction throughout the building life cycle are reviewed and discussed, including those relating to green building design, innovative low carbon dioxide...
, . Building rating systems have been actively promoted as one of the policies aiming green-house gas reduction in the building sector. However, there are no supporting evidence of its efficacy and usefulness. This study empirically analyzes the energy saving and carbon reduction effects of the ...
Clients in particular have an important role in promoting environmental sustainability. In this paper, the carbon-reduction process is analyzed from a construction client's perspective. A framework is developed to analyze the interrelated components of this process, including the drivers, initiatives, ...
The data showed that a significant reduction in net carbon emissions from buildings with wood and lightweight steel construction. 2.3. Emergy analysis In terms of sustainable development in the construction industry, there is an objective and quantitative need to evaluate the economic, social, and ...
