Carbon Footprint Inventory, Estimation and Analysis System in a RC Building Materials

Abstract:

The construction industry is one part of economic development critical to a nation’s infrastructure. However, there is significant man-made “Greenhouse Gas (GHG)” generated during the construction industry’s any Life Cycle (LC).We tailor actions to suit local circumstance and made a systematically preliminary investigation of an inventory, estimation and analysis system currently available in estimation of carbon footprints of an ordinary RC building in Taiwan. There are about 60% of carbon footprints derived from production or usage of high carbon emission building material steel bars.
