The Role of Embodied Carbon Databases in the Accuracy of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) Calculations for the Embodied Carbon of Buildings [PDF]
Sustainability, 2021 Studies conducted by major national and international scientific bodies have indisputably concluded that the increase in anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) since the mid-20th century has led to irreversible changes in the climate. Data has shown that the contribution of the building sector accounts for 39% of these emissions.

Carbon fractions in wood for estimating embodied carbon in the built environment
Science of The Total Environment, 2023Determining wood carbon (C) fractions (CFs)-or the concentration of elemental C in wood on a per unit mass basis-in harvested wood products (HWP) is vital for accurately accounting embodied C in the built environment. Most estimates of embodied C assume that all wood-based building material is comprised of 50 % C on a per mass basis: an erroneous ...

Abstract This book provides a thorough exploration of embodied carbon issues, focusing on the inequities between the Global North and South. It argues that the greatest obstacles to effective global cooperation on embodied carbon policies are persistent global inequality, ongoing development needs in the South, and imbalanced ...

Embodied Carbon in Structures and Cities
IABSE Reports, 2014<p>Beyond LEED and other evaluation techniques that largely consider carbon emissions from building operations, a basis for design must be established to account for the embodied carbon in a structure. Minimum acceptable goals must be created to encourage a responsible approach to environmental design—one that accounts for carbon emissions from ...

Benchmarking the Embodied Carbon of Buildings
Technology|Architecture + Design, 2017Greenhouse gas emissions from extracting and manufacturing building materials, often termed “embodied carbon,” are produced before buildings are occupied and are more critical to meeting global cli...

Carbon footprints and embodied carbon at multiple scales
Current Opinion in Environmental Sustainability, 2010Carbon footprints and embodied carbon have a strong methodological foundation and provide valuable input into policy formation. The widespread use of carbon footprints using existing knowledge needs to be encouraged and even regulated. At the product level, carbon footprints can empower consumers to shape their own climate friendly behaviour and help ...

The United Nation (UN) projects that 2.5 billion more people will live in cities by 2050, up from 4.4 billion today. Of the growing global population, most will come from the urban areas of low- and middle-income countries in Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia, with Sub-Saharan African cities currently already seeing a 4.1 percent growth in population ...

Developing a Basis for Design – Embodied Carbon in Structures
IABSE Reports, 2015<p>A basis for design must be established to account for the embodied carbon in a structure. Minimum acceptable goals must be created to encourage a responsible approach to structural design—one that accounts for carbon emissions from groundbreaking through the building’s service life.

Low-embodied carbon footbridges
Footbridge Chur 2025, Chur: in situ<p>This paper draws upon the work of the Net Zero Bridges Group (NZBG) to ask how we can maximise the positive “carbon benefits” associated with footbridges, while minimising the “carbon costs” associated with their construction and maintenance. Can we ever achieve Net Zero footbridges, where the embodied carbon is itself eliminated?</p><

EMBODIED CARBON IN TRADE: A SURVEY OF THE EMPIRICAL LITERATURE [PDF]
Journal of Economic Surveys, 2013 AbstractThis paper critically reviews the literature on embodied carbon in trade and evaluates our present empirical understanding of these flows. A careful comparison of quantitative results from this literature exposes significant inconsistencies. For instance, estimates for emission embodied in world trade in 2004 range between 4.4 Gt and 6.2 Gt CO2,
