Abstract

Introduction: Building energy consumption accounts for a large proportion of global energy consumption, and it is urgent to reduce building carbon emissions. There are many different components in the Building, each of which produces a somewhat different amount of carbon emissions, such as column, beam, floor, exterior wall and interior wall. This Paper is focusing on looking for the components’ differences in carbon emission in order to provide some valuable advises in choosing building materials. Methods: Using the building information model, the sample building is divided into five parts: column, beam, floor, exterior wall and interior wall. Firstly, the quantities of each part of the building is calculated from building information model. Secondly, the method of permutation and combination is performed by choosing different materials including concrete, steel, wood, brick and glass, and then forming 14 schemes. Finally, carbon emissions at production stages are calculated of all 14 schemes by known carbon emission factors. Conclusion: The average proportion of each part of carbon emissions is obtained both with the carbon emissions from different materials. Choosing the lowest and highest theoretical scheme in order to analysis the influence of different materials on carbon emissions in construction production stage, so that the effective data reference for building energy saving and emission reduction can be concluded.
