Passive design has recently received increasing attention as an option to reduce energy
consumption, abate carbon footprint and alleviate energy bills of buildings by taking …

The life-cycle assessment method, which originates from general products and services, has
gradually come to be applied to investigations of the life-cycle carbon emissions (LCCE) of …

Carbon emissions of buildings in the life cycle are huge due to the high resource-intensive
and energy consumption of the buildings industry and its upstream industries. And for …

The climatic conditions in different regions of China are complex and diverse, and the
characteristics of building energy consumption in different climatic regions are quite …

The building envelope has a substantial influence on a building's life cycle operational and
embodied carbon emissions. Window-to-wall ratios, wall assemblies, shading and glazing …

The building envelope encompasses an important share of construction materials and may
dictate the embodied energy in buildings. This paper performs parametric analysis to …

In this paper, we present a comprehensive optimization framework that identifies renovation
plans to minimize half-life cycle carbon emissions, investment payback period, and indoor …

Excessive carbon emissions are causing the problems of global warming and the
greenhouse effect, which urgently need to be controlled worldwide. It is crucial to reduce the …

To achieve carbon-neutral target in building sector, reaching green building and ultra-low
energy building (ULEB) goals are two progressive energy-saving targets for buildings in …

With the implementation of China's “Healthy Building” and “Dual Carbon” strategies, daylight
health and energy-saving carbon reduction in buildings have become key research areas. In …
