Research on low-carbon construction strategy of campus in cold area basedon carbon balance accounting
Quantitative analysis on campus carbon balance accounting, as the main technical means, clearly illustrates the campus carbon emission sources and their proportion with the data of carbon emissions, which decides low carbon emission strategies of the campus and guides the campus low carbon development scientifically.Considering the difference of carbon emission factors, this paper accounted the corresponding carbon emissions of an actual project Shandong Jianzhu University with the existing carbon emission accounting methods selected and integrated.The accounting included the CO2 emissions of all energy consumption related to the daily operation of all the buildings and facilities in the new campus.The accounting in 2015, taking the calculated value of 2014 as the reference, showed that 20 051 t carbon emissions were from buildings, 171 t from transportation, 6 576 t from daily life, and 11 936 t carbon was fixed by plant, 266 t carbon by PV.The net emissionswas 24 596 t.The campus carbon balance coefficient was 3.02, the per capita carbon emission coefficient was 1.04.According to the accounting data, carbon emissions were mainly from daily operation of buildings including winter heating, air conditioning, lighting, water heating and cooking.Coal, electricity and natural gas were consumed while coal emitted most carbon but natural gas emitted least.Therefore it puts forward following measures to reduce carbon emissions including campus planning based on carbon balance prediction,greenbelt ecological compensation complied with regional climatic, lowcarbon design and improvement of single building,low carbon adaptation and replacement of equipment system, and application of renewable energy.
