DISCUSSION ON LOW-CARBON DESIGN STRATEGIES FOR ULTRA-HIGH-RISE BUILDINGS BASED ON THE WHOLE LIFE CYCLE PERSPECTIVE
As important components for high-density cities, ultra-high-rise buildings have advantages in terms of carbon emissions per capita and per unit area. Although operational energy consumption is the main component of a building's whole life cycle energy con-sumption, China is still in rapid new construction stage, and the current carbon emissions generated in the build-ing materials production and construction are higher than those in operation. Therefore, in the design process with the goal of reducing the energy consumption of building operation, the carbon emission during material produc-tion and construction should not be ignored. Based on different design disciplines and scales, this paper pro-poses four design strategies in different design stages of ultra-high-rise buildings from the perspective of the whole life cycle of buildings, including comprehensively improving the urban microenvironment, optimizing de-sign by multi-faceted orientation, calculating whole life cycle energy consumption, and embracing intelligent operation systems.
