Embodied climate impacts in urban development: A neighbourhood case study
The urgent need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and the increasing share of embodied carbon in life-cycle impacts underscore the necessity of mitigating construction and demolition impacts to align with the Paris Agreement. Urban planning significantly influences material flows, with a substantial portion of construction occurring in planned urban development areas (UDAs), such as 76% in Copenhagen, Denmark. However, research on UDAs is limite…
Demands, default options and definitions: How artefacts mediate sustainability in public housing projects in Sweden and Cyprus
Sustainable building design practices are influenced by requirements, guidelines, criteria for green procurement and certification, assessment tools such as life cycle assessment, etc. This study investigates how such artefacts support or define aspirations towards sustainability, through case studies of public housing projects in Sweden and Cyprus. The study first illustrates how constraints mediated by artefacts set boundaries to the range of a…
Sharing indoor space: Stakeholders’ perspectives and energy metrics
The sharing of indoor space can improve space and energy efficiency. The drivers and barriers to space-sharing initiatives are investigated from the perspectives of building users and building sector practitioners, based on interviews and a workshop. The role of energy performance metrics in promoting space efficiency is further analysed through a literature review. From the users’ perspective, space sharing can be understood through the interpla…
