Study on the Carbon Emission Characteristics and Influencing Factors of the Construction Industry in Yunnan Province under the Background of New Urbanization
The carbon emissions of the construction industry in Yunnan Province were calculated and analyzed as well as the carbon emission characteristics of each stage of the entire life cycle of buildings.The STIRPAT model was used to analyze the factors that affected the carbon emissions of buildings from four aspects involving in population,economy,technology,and urbanization.The results showed that the overall carbon emissions of Yunnan's construction industry were increasing with carbon emissions mainly coming from two stages:the preparation stage of building materials and the operation stage of buildings.The main factors leading to the increase in carbon emissions from the construction industry were ranked according to the degree of impact as population density,per capita GDP,urbanization rate,and development level of the construction industry.Finally,through literature review and expert interviews,combined with the analysis of carbon emissions characteristics and influencing factors in Yunnan's construction industry,the carbon reduction measures for each stage of the construction lifecycle were summarized.
