The building sector, including building operations and materials, was responsible for the
emission of∼ 11.9 gigatons of global energy-related CO2 in 2020, accounting for 37% of the …

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 …

The built environment significantly contributes to climate change. There is pressure on the
construction industry to find and use alternative sustainable environmentally friendly …

Wood-based panels play an important role in the furniture and decoration industries
worldwide. However, the adhesives used in the manufacture of those panels are a subject of …

This research uses uncertainty analysis to determine and compare the range of embodied
carbon outcomes of mid-rise mass timber and concrete buildings in Australia. In doing so, it …

Although prefabrication is considered a sustainable construction technology that can reduce
various construction waste, research on its potential for concrete formwork waste reduction …

Reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the built environment is key to mitigating climate
change. This paper uses Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) to explore whether glue-laminated …

Achieving net zero life cycle energy and greenhouse gas emissions buildings is rare. This
would entail not only covering operational energy use, but also embodied energy and …
