Comparison of embodied carbon estimating methods
11th World Construction Symposium - 2023, 2023The 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, 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...

Embodied Carbon of Tall Buildings: Specific Challenges
2018Tall 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
2019Designed 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.

Embodied Carbon Reduction Strategies for Buildings
2019Global warming has become a major environmental issue faced by the international community. Greenhouse gases (GHG) have been suspected to be the source of global warming and carbon emission has identified as the main contributor for global warming. CO2 could be released due to activities carried out by human such as burning fossil fuels, electricity ...
