Research on Carbon Emission Performance during Full Life Circle of Steel Structure Residence

Abstract:

With respect to steel structure residential project by Hangxiao Steel Structure Co., Ltd. (shorted for HXSS), resource, energy consumption and the corresponding carbon dioxide emission data is calculated for each period in full life circle of building, i.e., building material production, construction, use, building dismantling, and is compared with regular practice model of similar buildings, and the influence on the environment by the construction of steel structure system. Through research, it's found that the steel structure residential building is prominently advantageous in energy consumption and carbon emission during the full life cycle.
