Traditional building materials have some drawbacks in the construction industry, particularly
in terms of greenhouse gas emissions and energy consumption. Biomaterials derived from …

Life cycle assessment (LCA) has been widely used to determine the environmental impact of
mass timber construction (MTC) as a substitute for conventional construction. This article …

The increasing pressure to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from buildings has motivated
specialists to develop low-carbon products incorporating bio-based materials. The impact of …

The building industry is a large contributor to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and a vast
consumer of natural resources. It is estimated that, in the next 40 years, around 415 Gt of CO …

The increasing interest in bio-based construction materials has resulted in the emergence of
the concept of “buildings as a carbon sink”. Quantifying and comparing the effects of carbon …

Cities are hotspots of anthropogenic activity and consumption. Thus, the consumption-based
carbon footprints of their residents are pronounced. However, the beneficial climate impacts …

Storing carbon in construction products and building components seems a particularly
attractive strategy for compensating the initial greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from …

Although buildings produce a third of greenhouse gas emissions, it has been suggested that
they might be one of the most cost-effective climate change mitigation solutions. Among …

We conducted a systematic literature search and meta-analysis of studies with side-by-side
life cycle analysis comparisons of mid-rise buildings using mass timber and conventional …

There is a limited comprehensive analysis of the effectiveness of adopted carbon mitigation
strategies for buildings over their life cycle, that are concerned with temporal perspectives of …
