Abstract

Based on the theory of full life cycle assessment (LCA) and the concept of “from cradle to cradle”, this study divides the whole life cycle of green building into five stages: early stage, materialization stage, operation stage, demolition and scrap and material recycling, constructs the carbon footprint calculation model of green building in each stage, collects and calculates the carbon footprint factors, and forms a carbon footprint database. In addition, the consumption calculation method based on BIM is combined with computer technology to build a calculation platform, and then the carbon emission calculation of a three-star green building in Jiangsu at all stages of the life cycle is studied. The research results show that the operation stage and materialization stage are the highest carbon emissions in the full life cycle of green buildings. The quantitative calculation of the full life cycle carbon footprint of green buildings based on BIM Technology is conducive to promoting social sustainable development and helping to achieve carbon peaking and carbon neutrality goals.
