Sustainability, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 17(9), P. 4183 - 4183

Published: May 6, 2025

Architects and building designers are pivotal in mitigating climate change by shaping the environmental footprint of buildings from their inception, with life cycle assessment (LCA) serving as a crucial tool for quantifying these impacts. Given that structural systems contribute significantly to embodied carbon, accounting approximately 24% building’s emissions, this research investigates relationship between span length—a key design factor influencing material choices construction methods—and overall performance. Through scenario-based analysis employing information modeling (BIM) whole (WBLCA) tools, study evaluates various configurations reveal long-span scenarios, steel demonstrates lower impact compared timber. This finding offers novel, quantifiable insight architects assess optimize designs, particularly context emerging architectural trends featuring longer spans, ultimately contributing more sustainable practices.
