📄 Abstract（原文）
The building sector is one of the most significant sources of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, both in terms of energy used during operation and in the embodied carbon of building materials and processes used in the construction. Although there has been a significant focus on how to use less energy in buildings during their operational lifetime, there is growing awareness that embodied carbon emissions also play an important role in the building's life cycle, and are especially significant at the early design stage when major decisions are taken regarding the building's design. The demand for integrated carbon-aware design approaches is particularly vital in rapidly urbanised and energy stressed countries like Pakistan, as carbon utilisation systems, cooling loads and construction demands are high. This research examines the possibility of incorporating embodied and operational carbon assessments in the early stages of architecture design to help with low carbon decision making without impacting the design intent. The study employs the mixed-method multi-case comparative approach that combines four studies from the Pakistani and international contexts for analysis. These case studies analyze the lifecycle carbon performance of a range of design features, including building orientation, window-to-wall ratio (WWR), glazing type, shading coefficient, insulation materials, and building shape. The Building Information Modelling (BIM), Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), EnergyPlus simulations and parametric optimisation tools like Grasshopper and Honeybee are comparatively evaluated.
