📄 Abstract（原文）
The building sector accounts for a large percentage of global greenhouse gas emissions, largely from the embodied carbon in common building materials like concrete and steel. Embodied carbon (EC) refers to the greenhouse gases released during the manufacturing, transportation, installation, maintenance, and disposal of building materials. Although growing in popularity, mass timber is still not nearly as common as other building materials. During the early building design stages, engineers often do not have the time or resources to holistically optimize material selection; consequently, concrete and steel remain the materials of choice. This research focused on the development of a fully automated parametric design tool, APDT, to showcase the viability of evaluating and optimizing mass timber in building construction. The APDT was developed using Autodesk’s Revit 2022 and the visual-based programming tool housed within Revit: Dynamo. The automated designer uses parametric inputs of a building, including size, number of stories, and loading, to create a model of a mass timber building with designed glulam columns and beams and cross-laminated timber floor panels. The designer calculates overall material quantities, which are then used to determine the building’s overall embodied carbon impact. Discussed herein is the development of a building design tool that highlights the benefits of optimized mass timber using existing software and databases. The tool allows the designer to expediently provide an estimate of the amount of material and embodied carbon values, thereby making it easier to consider mass timber when determining the structural system at the infancy stage of the project. The methodology outlined herein provides a replicable methodology for creating an APDT that bridges a critical gap in early-stage design, enabling rapid embodied carbon comparisons and fostering consideration of mass timber as a viable low-carbon alternative.
