A BIM-based carbon footprinting of earthworks in road construction process
Carbon dioxide emissions are a major component of greenhouse gases and their evaluation during the life cycle of civil infrastructures is increasingly becoming a pivotal criterion for project tendering. During construction activities, the use of heavy-duty vehicles generally accounts for most of the energy consumption. However, the CO 2 emissions deriving from earthwork machines have not been thoroughly calculated yet due to the inner complexity …
GHG emissions from building renovation versus new-build
A variety of life cycle assessment (LCA) calculation methods and rules exist in European countries for building performance evaluation based on new-build. However, the increased focus on the retention and renovation of the existing building stock raises questions about the appropriateness of these the methods and rules when applied to renovation cases. Using a real renovation case, Danish, Finnish and Swedish LCA-based greenhouse gas emissions (G…
Embodied GHG emissions of buildings – The hidden challenge for effective climate change mitigation
Buildings are major sources of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and contributors to the climate crisis. To meet climate-change mitigation needs, one must go beyond operational energy consumption and related GHG emissions of buildings and address their full life cycle. This study investigates the global trends of GHG emissions arising across the life cycle of buildings by systematically compiling and analysing more than 650 life cycle assessment (LC…
Comparison of GHG emissions from circular and conventional building components
The concept of circular economy has been introduced as a strategy to reduce the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from buildings and mitigate climate change. Although many innovative circular solutions exist, the business model is challenged by a lack of environmental data on the circular solutions, and thus the potential benefits are not verifiable. The study assesses the embodied GHG emissions of five circular building elements/components. Circula…
