Carbon value engineering: A framework for integrating embodied carbon and cost reduction strategies in building design

Mehdi Robati et al.

Summary: This research proposes a Carbon Value Engineering (CO2VE) framework to reduce embodied carbon emissions and save capital costs in buildings. Testing on a building in Sydney reveals that the structural system is the main contributor to embodied carbon and capital costs. Alternative design strategies can effectively reduce embodied carbon emissions and costs.

Whole-life embodied carbon in multistory buildings: Steel, concrete and timber structures

Carine Lausselet et al.

Summary: Buildings and the construction industry are major contributors to climate change, with structures accounting for the largest share of upfront greenhouse gas emissions. This study compares mass and whole-life embodied carbon (WLEC) emissions from different building superstructures in steel, concrete, and engineered timber frames. Results show clear differences between the masses of the three structural typologies, with concrete frames approximately five times the mass of timber frames and 50% higher than steel frames. Despite the advantage for timber in terms of emissions, efficient design and procurement are essential for all materials.

Main Features of the Timber Structure Building Industry Business Models

Annie Gosselin et al.

Summary: The business models in the timber structure building industry involve collaboration and knowledge sharing, with collaborative contract procurement modes being the most suitable choice. Maintaining close relationships with suppliers and supplier-builders is crucial, along with partnerships with universities and the increasing popularity of prefabrication. These factors contribute to the prevailing business models in this industry due to its sustained growth.
