A Study on CO₂ Emission Reduction Planning in the Water Sector in Office Buildings

Abstract:

Energy, CO₂ and Water are most important issues that environmental impact in buildings and cities. These are related each other very closely. This study has attempted to analyze CO₂ emission by water usages, sewage wastes and also water saving strategies like installation water saving devices, rainwater harvesting and gray water system in office buildings. To assess from the early design stage, should be developed regional water amount and regional CO₂ emission factor by water. Consequently, estimated one sample office project in Korea and suggested effective CO₂ emission reduction plan in the water sector. Total amount of CO₂ emission in the water sector in sample office building is 188.25 t·CO₂eq/yr.
