This study analyzes embodied carbon emissions from 692 low-rise and multi-story residential buildings in China and proposes mitigation strategies, highlighting the importance of material selection and design improvements.

Long Shi, Yang Zheng, Chao Xu +2

This paper proposes a low-carbon operation optimization method for distribution systems that considers the regulation potential of distributed flexible resources (EVs, PV, storage). An aggregation model using time-varying outer approximatio…

J J Andrews, A M Moncaster

This qualitative case study of a UK university student accommodation project analyzes why some low-carbon aspirations (Passivhaus certification) were achieved while others (low embodied carbon) were dropped. Key success factors included cle…
