- Abstract
Environmental problems caused by energy consumption are a global and growing problem. Building energy consumption is the main energy consumption, but there is no model or application system that can effectively quantify and standardize the energy consumption calculations. By taking the physical and chemical carbon footprint of buildings as the research object, this paper establishes a total building carbon footprint calculation model based on different stages of carbon footprint sources. Accord-ing to the source of carbon footprint in different stages, the total model and sub model of building carbon footprint calculation are established. In order to realize the rapid quantitative calculation of build-ing carbon footprint, we develop a system frame-work, database and (Building Information Model-ing) BIM interface. This model shows that the car-bon footprint concentration of the frame structure is 417.68 kgCO
2 eq/M² and that of the frame-cut struc-Mre is 50332 kgCO2 eq/m², i.e. the carbon footprint concentration of the frame-cut structure is 20.5% higher than that of the frame structure. Comparing the carbon footprint concentrations of different ma-terials can reduce total carbon emissions in the pro-duction of building materials and allows the devel-opment of new material production processes or ma-terials to reduce the carbon concentration in the building phase.
