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:

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 ...

Comparison of embodied carbon estimating methods

11th World Construction Symposium - 2023, 2023
The Australian building sector contributes up to 36% of carbon emissions emphasising the importance of carbon management. Embodied Carbon (EC) and Operational Carbon (OC) are classified as two main types of carbon emissions in buildings. Zero carbon projects have gained popularity nowadays where OC is reduced to zero, which enables EC to increase.

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 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, 2017
Greenhouse 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...

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.

Sustainable structures and embodied carbon

2019
Designed by William Le Barron Jenny and engineer George B. Whitney, the Home Insurance Building, completed in Chicago in 1885, is generally regarded as the world’s first skyscraper where the load-bearing capacity of the facade was liberated by a structural steel frame.
