Research on Modular School Buildings Carbon Emission based on LCA method in Shenzhen Area
A carbon emission model was developed to study the modular school buildings based on the theory of life cycle assessment(LCA).According to the characteristics of modular buildings,the whole life cycle of the building was divided into seven stages,and the calculation method of carbon emissions in each stage were determined.Then the carbon emission index and annual carbon emission per unit building area at each stage were determined by emission coefficient method.Meanwhile,the carbon emission of concrete structure and fabricated steel structure school building were calculated to compared with modular structure school building,in order to discuss the impact of modular technology on energy conservation and emission reduction.The results shows modular technology can reduce carbon emissions effectively,and has unique advantages in reusing of buildings.
