Research on Energy Conservation and Emission Reduction Paths of Urban Roads Based on LCA
In light of the escalating energy consumption and environmental repercussions associated with urban roads due to rapid ur-banization,this study delves into the realm of energy conservation and emission reduction through the lens of Life Cycle Assessment(LCA)analysis.By delineating the holistic life cycle of urban roads—encompassing planning and design,construction,operation and maintenance,and demolition stages—the research scrutinizes the energy consumption and environmental impact at each phase.Real-world data is utilized to underscore the potential for energy conservation and emission reduction across the various stages,culminating in a set of strategies aimed at mitigating these challenges comprehensively within the urban road infrastructure.These strategies advocate for raising awareness on energy conservation and emission reduction,optimizing urban road planning,integrating green building tech-nologies,deploying intelligent transportation systems,enhancing road maintenance and management practices,and promoting the sec-ondary utilization of road construction waste.By considering the entire life cycle of urban roads and advocating for multifaceted ap-proaches,this study seeks to provide a road map for sustainable urban road development and management practices in the face of pressing environmental concerns.
