Assessment on the Carbon Emissions of Buildings with a Study Case

More and more attention has paid to the greenhouse gas around the world. It has been a problem for each country to reduce the carbon emission, so it is with China. Carbon emission in building products accounts for a large share in the whole emission from all aspects. Therefore, the building industry is reckoned highly energy consuming. It is significant to calculate the carbon emission of buildings to find solutions. This paper establish a calculate model, which is also applied in a case study in local, to calculate the carbon emission of buildings in the whole life cycle, including material preparation, construction installation, operation, and abandonment phase. Hence, the result of this study can be of reference on the reduction measures taken in different stages in the life cycle.
