Measuring CO2 emissions performance of China's construction industry: A global Malmquist index analysis

Min Cheng et al.

Summary: Rapid urbanization in China has turned the construction sector into a major industry for CO2 emissions. A global Malmquist CO2 emissions performance index (GMCPI) has been proposed to evaluate CO2 emission performance of multi-input and multi-output production processes. The study found an overall improvement of 13.6% in CO2 emissions performance in China's construction industry from 2004 to 2016, with technological progress playing a key role. Regional differences in CO2 emissions performance were observed, with the eastern region showing the best performance. Reasons contributing to different levels of CO2 emissions performance in different provinces were explained based on the decomposition of GMCPI.

Efficacy of C&D waste in base/subbase layers of pavement - current trends and future prospectives: A systematic review

Monika Mohanty et al.

Summary: This paper systematically reviews the literature on the usage of different types of construction and demolition (C&D) waste as aggregate in pavement base or subbase layers. The review finds that the addition of C&D waste can have adverse effects on California bearing ratio (CBR) and unconfined compressive strength (UCS), but chemical stabilization can improve these properties. The resilient moduli of the waste materials can be enhanced through the use of stabilizers, longer curing duration, and greater confining pressure. Furthermore, the study identifies research gaps and proposes future prospects, including evaluating the suitability of unexplored wastes for pavement construction.

Life cycle assessment for carbon emission impact analysis for the renovation of old residential areas

Xiaoyu Luo et al.

Summary: Urban residential buildings are a major source of carbon emissions, and the renovation of old residential areas is crucial for reducing these emissions. This study conducted a life cycle assessment of the carbon emission impact of renovating old residential areas, considering carbon emissions at different stages of the renovation process. The results showed that neglecting the embodied carbon can lead to an overestimation of carbon reduction effects. Adding green spaces and implementing recycling measures offer short-term carbon payback, while installing rooftop solar photovoltaic panels is the most efficient carbon reduction measure.

Assessment of carbon emissions of building interior decoration and renovation waste disposal in the fast-growing Greater Bay Area, China

Jiajia Wang et al.

Summary: Continuing urbanization and an improved lifestyle have led to a high demand for building floor area, resulting in a rapid increase in interior decoration and renovation activities and the generation of a large quantity of decoration and renovation waste (DRW). Despite this, China has not adequately addressed DRW management. A study in the Greater Bay Area (GBA) characterized the generation, flows, management, and environmental impacts of DRW from commercial housing, showing an increase in DRW production from 0.16 million metric tons in 1999 to 2.6 million metric tons in 2018. Improving recycling rates and promoting prefabricated decoration could help tackle the DRW problem effectively.
