Managing embodied carbon in buildings: a Pareto approach [PDF]
Built Environment Project and Asset Management, 2018 PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to identify the carbon intensive building elements or “carbon hotspots” of office buildings in order to maximise the carbon reduction potential during design stages.Design/methodology/approachEmbodied carbon (EC) estimates of 28 office buildings in the UK were obtained and carbon hotspots of the sample (in accordance
