Embodied Carbon of Tall Buildings: Specific Challenges

, 2018
Tall buildings are becoming the predominant building typology in cities and megacities worldwide, with only a few regional exceptions. These buildings have unique construction and fire and life safety characteristics, which increase their initial embodied carbon footprints over other building typologies for the same built areas.

Embodied Carbon as a Path to Embodied Wisdom

Empower, 2022
Mitigating climate change demands rapid reductions of greenhouse gas emissions from the construction and operation of buildings. As the design and construction industry improves tools and techniques for adding up buildings’ contributions to greenhouse gas emissions it must also consider and critique the methods used to normalize these data for analysis:

Carbon fractions in wood for estimating embodied carbon in the built environment

Science of The Total Environment, 2023
Determining 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 ...

Towards net-zero embodied carbon: Investigating the potential for ambitious embodied carbon reductions in Australian office buildings [PDF]

Sustainable Cities and Society
Embodied carbon is recognised as a major contributor to building-related greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. In response, ambitious targets have been posed to reduce embodied carbon in the built environment, including the aspiration of ‘net-zero embodied ...

Embodied Carbon

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 ...

Carbon footprints and embodied carbon at multiple scales

Current Opinion in Environmental Sustainability, 2010
Carbon 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 ...

Embodied Carbon Emissions

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.
