Impact of sustainable design in the construction sector on climate change
Ain Shams Engineering Journal, 2021 The demand to reduce the greenhouse gases (GHGs) is a must to address the problem of climate change. This paper aims to help the decision makers locally and internationally to reduce the building's CO2 emissions in the project design phase.

Of embodied emissions and inequality: Rethinking energy consumption [PDF]
Energy Research & Social Science, 2018 This paper situates concepts of energy consumption within the context of growing research on embodied emissions. Using the UK as a case study I unpack the global socio-economic and ecological inequalities inherent in the measurement of greenhouse gas emissions on a territorial basis under the international climate change framework.

Study of CO2emissions embodied in China's exports [PDF]
WIT Transactions on Engineering Sciences, 2015 This paper employs a revised input-output model to empirically investigate the CO2 emissions embodied in export based on the input-output (I-O) table in China from 1999 to 2008. The key results indicate the carbon emission embodied in exports has risen from 0.38 Gt in 1999 to 1.19 Gt in 2008, in which 12–24% consumption demands come from other ...

Estimation and Minimization of Embodied Carbon of Buildings: A Review
Buildings, 2017 Building and construction is responsible for up to 30% of annual global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, commonly reported in carbon equivalent unit. Carbon emissions are incurred in all stages of a building’s life cycle and are generally categorised into

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 ...
