The embodied carbon emissions of buildings are increasingly important to mitigate. Most of
these emissions come from structural systems. While many strategies have been identified …

Products derived from trees have been used by mankind for thousands of years, where
timber has a long tradition as an ecological construction material. There is currently an …

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 …

In recent years, interest in the construction of multi-storey timber buildings in the urban
context has increased. The stability of any timber building depends on the structural …

The construction industry has one of the worst carbon footprints among the major industries
and accounts for 39% of the world's total greenhouse gas emissions. One of the main …

To improve the torsional buckling resistance and enhance the load-bearing capacity and
ductility of H-shaped steel beams with carbon reduction materials, the concept of combining …

Life cycle assessment (LCA) has been widely used to investigate the environmental
performance of building developments. However, LCA studies on the construction stage …

Most industrial buildings have a very short lifespan due to frequently changing production
processes. The load-bearing structure severely limits the flexibility of industrial buildings and …

To reduce carbon emissions, holistic approaches to design, plan, and build our environment
are needed. Regarding multi-story residential buildings, it is well-known that (1) material …

Building designers are increasingly tasked with tracking and reducing the embodied carbon
of structural systems, including concrete floor slabs. Design decisions that affect both the …
