Embodied carbon comes from the consumption of embodied energy consumed to extract, refine, process, transport and fabricate a material or product (including buildings). It is often measured from cradle to (factory) gate, cradle to site (of use), or cradle to grave (end of life). The ...
Embodied carbon is the carbon footprint of a material Whilst a carbon footprint can be used to express the carbon of operating a building, running a car or operating a laptop, embodied carbon cannot. Embodied carbon would instead tell you the carbon footprint of constructing the building, prod...
Embodied Carbon of Construction Waste (Vancouver Coastal Health) We analyzed the embodied carbon of construction waste from Vancouver General Hospital's Operating Room Renewal project. For each key waste material category (i.e. steel, aluminum, concrete, wood, glass, brick, and asphalt), we mode...
Material production and construction activities are key contributors to global carbon footprints, necessitating sustainable alternatives. This study aims to investigate the potential of integrating recycled materials as Supplementary Cementitious Materia
Wiedmann (2009) defines “embodied carbon” as “the carbon dioxide emitted from the process of raw material acquisition, manufacturing, transportation to products purchased by consumers” (Huang and Wu, 2010). Regional carbon transfer is a region’s inflow and outflow of embodied carbon emissions...
Many barriers prevent embodied carbon reduction in structural engineering practiceMany barriers prevent use of computational tools to increase material efficiencyLack of awareness, perceived cost increase, and lack of power are key barriersIncreased design time is a key barrier to the use of computational...
In retrofit design, coefficients for material embodied impacts vary widely between sources and can lead to different results in a life cycle energy or carbon analysis, and perhaps different material choices in retrofit implementation. This paper considers how and why results differ between sources, ...
China, as an exporter of carbon emissions, was also responsible for increasing the ECE generated by the international trade of China's light industry sector in 27 countries. Such findings provide an empirical basis for revised international trade strategies and policies to improve energy conservation ...
