Green construction for low-carbon cities: a review

Environmental Chemistry Letters, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 21(3), С. 1627 - 1657

Опубликована: Янв. 18, 2023

Abstract The construction industry is a major user of non-renewable energy and contributor to emission greenhouse gases, thus requiring achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. Indeed, activities account for 36% global consumption 39% dioxide emissions. Reducing requires adapted government policies, analysis calculation models, sustainable materials. Here, we review green with focus on history, emissions, life cycle assessment, materials such as biochar, bioplastic, agricultural waste, animal wool, fly ash self-healing concrete. Analysis over the building shows that phase accounts 20–50% total average ratio annual operation 0.62. We present national policy frameworks technology roadmaps from United States America, Japan, China, European Union, highlighting plans neutrality in sector.

Moving toward Net Zero Carbon Buildings to Face Global Warming: A Narrative Review

Buildings, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 13(3), С. 684 - 684

The increase in global surface temperatures will surpass the 2 °C target set by Paris Agreement unless carbon emissions are lowered to zero 2050. To date, building sector is responsible for 38% of all emissions, thus one main targets represented development strategies that can facilitate transition toward carbon-neutral buildings. today nearly energy buildings (nZEBs), (ZEBs)/net (NZEBs) and net (NZCBs). Particularly, NZCBs completely operational embodied during their life cycles, fulfilling leadership role decarbonization construction sector. Moreover, adopting European Standard EN 15978:2011, be precisely classified enhance aimed at reducing them. Commercial viability remains a fundamental economic driver, but higher initial capital costs hinder NZCBs. In addition, legislative, socio-cultural, technological, professional geographical barriers hold back its diffusion. met four-steps program: reduction, renewable supply offset storage. Circular economy principles strictly connected design disassembly adaptability reduce carbon, while passive solar geothermal production satisfy demand building. aim this narrative review determine describe which current state art NZCB definition, drivers application broader context eligible meet ambitious goal emissions.

Towards achieving a net zero carbon building: A review of key stakeholders and their roles in net zero carbon building whole life cycle

Journal of Building Engineering, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 82, С. 108223 - 108223

Опубликована: Дек. 9, 2023

The building sector is known to be a major emitter of global greenhouse gases. Given that, the total carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from account for about 38 % and 35 energy consumption globally. As result, stakeholder's partnership has been acknowledged as promising pathway towards achieving net zero whole life cycle. Stakeholders are involved directly or indirectly in every stage However, identification key stakeholders each cycle multifaceted under-explored. This paper aims systematically explore further identify respective roles these building. A systematic review was conducted on forty 40 articles obtained Scopus. Results this study revealed five (5) stages which include preconstruction, construction, operation maintenance, demolition, reuse stage. Nine (9) groups were identified across Furthermore, forty-seven (47) also study. findings could guide policymakers, researchers, non-organizations prioritizing formation policies.

Towards a decarbonised building stock by 2050: The meaning and the role of zero emission buildings (ZEBs) in Europe

Energy Strategy Reviews, Год журнала: 2022, Номер 44, С. 101009 - 101009

Опубликована: Ноя. 1, 2022

The building sector plays a key role in the reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions European Union (EU). revision Energy Performance Building Directive (EPBD) sets out how Europe can achieve decarbonised stock by 2050. This paper offers an overview recent policy developments and examines introduced provisions on new existing buildings. While nearly zero energy buildings (NZEBs) remains current standard since 2011 for buildings, emission (ZEBs) are set as future target 2030. Accordingly, this provides insights into ZEBs, clarifying when concept brought out. In particular, it discusses methodological aspects that ZEBs should address, outlining decisive efficiency renewable energy. main features pragmatic ZEB definition which be distinguished from other concepts. It suggests approach to calculations grouping uses associated emissions, well steps derive numerical benchmarks operational Furthermore, link with policies market readiness carbon study points crucial component EU strategy towards climate neutrality, able trigger additional benefits, such resilience, recyclability, security, health. Within framework, must promptly transposed, avoiding downturn characterized initial NZEBs implementation.

What decarbonized the residential building operation worldwide since the 2000s

Petroleum Science, Год журнала: 2022, Номер 19(6), С. 3194 - 3208

Опубликована: Окт. 30, 2022

Decarbonization in operational residential buildings worldwide has become critical achieving the carbon neutral target due to growing household energy demand. To accelerate pace of global neutrality, this study explores change through generalized Divisia index method and decoupling analysis, considering decarbonization levels at different scales. The results show that (1) most samples showed a decrease total emissions from 2000 2019. Except for China United States (US), building operations decreased by 7.95 million tons dioxide (MtCO2) per year over period. Emissions gross domestic product (GDP) was positive driver causing buildings, while GDP negative driver. (2) Carbon intensity essential strong economic development emissions. US almost consistently presented decoupling, weak last two decades. (3) is gradually slowing down. From 2019, across 30 countries 2094.3 MtCO2, with efficiency 3.4%. Overall, addresses gaps evaluating provides reference other emitters.
