Embodied Carbon Values by Material Category Each project is unique and should undergo a full life-cycle analysis for an accurate understanding of embodied carbon throughout its life-cycle. However, a standard range of embodied carbon can help to understand early design implications as predictive insig...
In a blog series on Make's research into reducing embodied carbon, Frances Gannon considers key design moves at the very start of a project.

As we all know,the environment around us is getting worse and worse.In some places we can't see fish swimming in the river or trees on the hills.Some people even have no clean water to drink.We should live a low-carbon life in order to protect the environnment.we can go to school...
Embodied carbon is the carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions associated with materials and construction processes throughout the whole lifecycle of a building or infrastructure. It includes any CO₂ created during the manufacturing of building materials (material extraction, transport to manufacturer, manufac...
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 modeled various end-of-life scenarios (e.g. landfill, incineration...

estimate. A material's embodied carbon value is its quantity, measured in kilograms, multiplied by its carbon factor, usually expressed in kilogram of carbon dioxide equivalent per kilogram (kg CO2eq/kg). Note that embodied carbon is the amount of emissions during construction and demolition only...
3.5. Embodied carbon is an important sustainability initiative as emphasized by the demand for low-carbon solutions and materials to shrink the environmental footprint. Unlike the life-cycle assessment (LCA), which assesses all of the impacts over the whole life of a material or element, embodied...
Presented in this study is an empirical analysis of embodied carbon dioxide emissions induced by fossil fuel combustion for the world divided into three supra-national coalitions, i.e., C7, BRIC, and the rest of the world (ROW), via the application of a multi-region input-output modeling fo...
