  1. 1. The threat of embodied carbon in the building sector. What is guiding the solution?

    Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/LUCSUS

    Författare :Andrea Stevens; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Embodied Carbon; Building Sector; Ecomodernism; Decarbonisation; Climate Change; Building Materials; Sustainability Science; Social Sciences;

    Sammanfattning : Embodied carbon in the building sector is an emerging area for decarbonisation efforts due to its large contribution to carbon emissions and ability to support carbon neutrality targets. This thesis aims to understand the roots of current embodied decarbonisation strategy recommendations, by exploring how embodied carbon reduction strategies are in line with the philosophy of ecomodernism.

  3. 2. Possibility for Positive Energy Retrofit in Borlänge

    Magister-uppsats, Högskolan Dalarna/Institutionen för information och teknik

    Författare :Daniel Nay Myo Tun; Abideen Olaide Bakare; [2023]
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : The built environment accounts for 40% of annual carbon dioxide (C02) emissions. Among the total emissions, building operations generate approximately 27% annually. Other than this, building materials, infrastructural materials, and construction (embodied carbon) contribute to an additional 13% annually [1]. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Exploring the Potential of Virtual Reality to Promote Sustainable Behaviours: A Mixed-Methods Approach

    Master-uppsats, Linköpings universitet/Institutionen för teknik och naturvetenskap; Linköpings universitet/Tekniska fakulteten

    Författare :Kutman Bekiroglu; [2023]
    Nyckelord :VR; immersion; semi structured interviews; digital material exploration; carbon emissions; behavioural change; embodied sketching.;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis aims to explore the potential of virtual reality (VR) to promote sustainable behaviours. The literature review draws from various fields that discuss the advantages and limitations of VR in design experiences (Scurati, et al. LÄS MER

  5. 4. A comparison between embodied and operational carbon in a building envelope from a life cycle perspective

    Master-uppsats, KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)

    Författare :Linnea Persson; [2022]
    Nyckelord :Operational carbon; embodied carbon; building envelope; Driftskedets klimatpåverkan; inbyggd klimatpåverkan; klimatskal;

    Sammanfattning : Sweden’s building sector contributes over one third of the country’s total energy consumption and over a fifth of its greenhouse gas emissions. To achieve the energy and climate goals that have been adopted by the Parliament in Sweden, work must be done within this sector to reduce its climate impact. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Deriving and mitigating the upfront carbon of a large-scale industrial project

    Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Institutionen för energivetenskaper

    Författare :Hugo Jennehov; Nils Olofsson; [2022]
    Nyckelord :Upfront carbon; Embodied carbon; Construction emissions; Mitigation strategies; Life Cycle Assessment; LCA; Industrial facilities; Technology and Engineering;

    Sammanfattning : For a long time, the construction and building industries have focused on increasing the efficiency of the built environment and reducing the emissions during the operations of buildings. As a consequence of the decreased operational emissions, the share of so-called embodied and upfront carbon has increased. LÄS MER
