Abstract:

The analysis of life cycle energy (LCE) and life cycle carbon (LCC) of building were performed in this study in order to identify the solutions for reducing energy-related carbon emission throughout building life time. The influence factors associated with building envelop materials (wall, insulation, window, window-to-wall ratio) were evaluated. The result showed that operation phase contributed a vast majority (>90%) of LCE and LCC. Only 4% emissions saving could be achieved if autoclaved aerated concrete block, cellulose insulation and triple glazing were implemented with WWR of 0.17. Th

The circular economy (CE) is increasingly important in ensuring sustainable development.

The PF-LCE consists of multiple PLCs along with a platform that enables the exchange of goods and data among different PLCs.

In conventional LCA, the emissions generated from the life cycle phases of a product are aggregated at the inventory analysis stage, which is then used as an input for life cycle impact assessment.

Abstract The increasing demand for carrageenan flour products in various industries was directly proportional to the potential environmental impact generated. The environmental impact was global warming (GW) caused by greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The industry was one of the producers of GHG emissions from materials, energy, and waste produced. Hence, it hoped that it could improve the eco-friendlier production system. This study aimed to analyze GHG emissions generated in the life cycle of carrageenan flour products and give an alternative strategy for environmental improvement. This resear

The energy mix serves as the basis for calculating the greenhouse gas (GHG) emission factor of electricity, and therefore has a significant impact not only on the evaluation of GHG-related policies but also on the carbon footprint of industries that use electricity in life cycle assessments (LCA). As such, there is a need to annually publish GHG emission factors that reflect changes in the energy mix.
