CO2 Emissions Embodied in Austrian International Trade [PDF]

, 2010
This study quantifies the CO2 emissions embodied in Austrian exports and imports, using a two region-input output approach (Austria and the rest of the world). The approach considers differences in production technologies between Austria and the rest of the world, concerning the CO2 coefficients (per unit of output) and the input-output structure (both

Embodied carbon emissions in buildings: explanations, interpretations, recommendations

Buildings & Cities, 2022
What is embodied carbon and why is it a significant challenge for clients and designers in the real estate and construction sector? It is the sum of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions that arise in the life cycle of a building during manufacture and ...

Embodied emissions – knowledge building for industry [PDF]

, 2023
A climate emergency has been declared and government, policymakers, industries, researchers and architects have tremendous potential to shift the entire industry towards a (net) zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions-built environment. In particular, they all play a different but equally important role in the early design phase when there is the greatest ...

Quantitative research on embodied carbon emissions in the design stage: a case study from an educational building in China

Journal of Asian Architecture and Building Engineering, 2022
Achieving low carbon emissions in buildings has a critical impact on controlling global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. With the boom in educational buildings, especially those with reinforced concrete structures, carbon emissions from such buildings are
