In particular, to find potential solutions to minimize environmental impacts, the building sector should priorly be considered since it is responsible for almost forty percent of both global energy and materials consumption and contributes around one-third of the global greenhouse gases emission. This research, therefore, aimed at evaluating the level of embodied carbon emissions derived from building construction materials, using four buildings located in an educational institute as\u00a0 a\u00a0 case\u00a0 study\u00a0 to\u00a0 represent\u00a0 the\u00a0 environmental\u00a0 performance\u00a0 of\u00a0 construction\u00a0 materials\u00a0 based\u00a0 on\u00a0 reinforce\u00a0 concrete structure in a tropical climate. The results revealed that on weighted average, the mass intensity and embodied\u00a0 carbon\u00a0 intensity\u00a0 of\u00a0 construction\u00a0 materials\u00a0 were\u00a0 1,627\u00a0 kg\/m2\u00a0 and\u00a0 322\u00a0 kgCO2\/m2.\u00a0 In\u00a0 addition,\u00a0 the\u00a0 taller the building height the more likely it was to help improve such intensities. Almost 90% and 69% of the mass intensity and embodied carbon intensity derived from structural component materials whereas 24%\u00a0 of\u00a0 the embodied carbon emissions attributed to decorating component materials. The results also indicated that improvement in building with reinforce concrete structure could focus only on six materials namely concrete, steel, aluminium, cement, paint, and ceramic tile since these materials contributed 94% of embodied carbon emission.\u00a0 The\u00a0 findings\u00a0 will\u00a0 be\u00a0 useful\u00a0 for\u00a0 planning\u00a0 proactive\u00a0 strategies\u00a0 in\u00a0 mitigating\u00a0 embodied\u00a0 carbon\u00a0 in\u00a0 building to cope with the challenges of global warming in the future.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The article can be accessed in https:\/\/geomatejournal.com\/geomate\/article\/view\/561<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ABSTRACT With respect to moving towards development without threat to our future generations, the overwhelming\u00a0 unsustainable\u00a0 consumption\u00a0 of\u00a0 natural\u00a0 resources\u00a0 is\u00a0 the\u00a0 dominant\u00a0 energy\u00a0 and\u00a0 environmental\u00a0 concerns discussed in both international and national conferences.
