Optimal Design of Life-cycle Carbon Emission for Building's External Wall Insulation in Zero Carbon Building
This paper outlined a simplified method for the calculation of life-cycle carbon emissions of exterior wall insulation.Four typical cities of Harbin,Beijing,Shanghai,Guangzhou in four major climatic regions in China were taken as research objects to analyze the carbon emission rules of exterior wall insulation.The research provided a rapid optimization design approach with the goal of reducing the life-cycle carbon emissions of exterior wall insulation in zero-carbon buildings.The carbon emission characteristic index Icp of insulation materials was proposed to represent the carbon reduction potential of insulation materials and used for rapid comparison and selection of different insulation materials.
