Circular urbanism
As cities race to meet climate targets, embodied carbon—the greenhouse gas emissions embedded in building materials and construction—has emerged as a critical yet underexplored dimension of urban sustainability. This study presents a scalable, data-driven framework based on urban-scale building stock virtual twins for the first time, optimizing embodied carbon across diverse urban areas in the United States. Using a bottom-up, archetype-based mod…
Optimizing the green-grey ratio
Green-Grey Ratio defines air quality resilience in mid-sized cities. • Green infrastructure efficacy reveals a thermal tipping point at 19°C. • Intermediate Green-Grey ratios (0.8–1.2) minimize PM2.5 during heat. • Excessive vegetation density can trap pollution by reducing ventilation. • Mid-sized cities require heat-adaptive zoning, not static greening. Urban greening is widely promoted as a strategy to mitigate particulate air pollution and ur…
Commercial buildings decarbonization
Proposes benchmarks for embodied carbon to achieve net zero by 2050 and 2100. • Aging US commercial buildings urgently need upgrades for decarbonization. • Business-as-usual scenarios deplete the carbon budget before 2050. • Hospital facilities exhibit the highest embodied carbon intensity. Achieving the United States' net-zero emissions target by 2050 necessitates a substantial reduction in both operational and embodied carbon from the building …
Intersecting Paths to Health
Public health is the basis of society's well-being and the nation's development. Despite the importance of this factor and huge investments in the health sector in the United States, public health is facing enormous challenges due to the unknown nature of the influential variables in this sector. This research aims to investigate the influential variables on public health from different sources including the demographic features, built environmen…
