This systematic review synthesizes green cost accounting frameworks including Environmental Management Accounting (EMA), Material Flow Cost Accounting (MFCA), Full Cost Accounting (FCA), carbon footprinting, and internal carbon pricing. It …

Xiaoyun Ren, Hao Wang, Shi Yin

This paper analyzes accounting challenges (cost allocation, asset measurement, carbon accounting, subsidy treatment) in an integrated fishery-photovoltaic renewable energy system. It proposes a life-cycle accounting and decision support fra…

R. Ries, M. Roberts, Vanessa Gomes da Silva +1

This paper reviews current standards for life cycle assessment (LCA) in the built environment to support net-zero carbon goals. It identifies gaps such as the need for harmonized Product Category Rules and Environmental Product Declarations…

This paper reviews carbon benchmarking methods for buildings, covering both operational and embodied carbon. It finds that 81% of studies use bottom-up approaches and nearly 88% focus on residential buildings. Benchmark values vary widely f…

Sakura Kato, Gabriel Robert

This paper integrates topology optimization with LCA for prefabricated concrete joints, incorporating global warming potential as an objective variable. The optimized design achieves a 30% mass reduction and significant embodied carbon savi…

This paper proposes a life cycle assessment (LCA) framework integrating structural performance metrics to evaluate embodied carbon footprint in flexible pavements. Comparing conventional and geogrid-reinforced pavements, it finds material p…

E. Barnett, D. Dinehart, Steven M. Anastasio

This research develops an automated parametric design tool (APDT) to evaluate and optimize mass timber in early-stage building design. Using Revit and Dynamo, the tool generates building models from parameters like size and stories, calcula…

Zhao Feng, Xu Bin, Wang Chao +2

This study presents a novel LCA methodology for modeling carbon emission reductions in grid construction integrating low-carbon technologies. It covers the entire process from planning to operation, comparing traditional vs. low-carbon syst…
