The effect of carbon dioxide emissions on the building energy efficiency

During this anthropocentric period, sustainable energy supply and climate changing could be a main source of problem for human being. Scientists believe that the ratio of climate changing and global warming is linked to the increase in greenhouse gas increment due to fossil fuels, particularly CO2. According to studies, the building sector is a main source of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions into the atmosphere. Building construction, operation, and the use of unclean energy sources have led in a significant quantity of CO2 being emitted into the environment. As research progresses toward zero-energy buildings and usage of sustainable clean energy, it is critical to reduce a building's total energy consumption and environmental effect throughout its existence. Total energy is made up of operational and embodied energy, the latter of which is linked to embodied CO2 (ECO2) emissions that relates to the greenhouse effect. CO2 is calculated by multiplying the mass of the materials by the CO2 coefficients (kg CO2/kg). The findings give useful baseline metrics for each material's contribution in case of mass and ECO2. It was determined that this method could save a significant amount of energy, CO2, and power. The major benefits were identified to include greater building performance, a rapid and sustainable design processing, increased energy efficiency and the supply of superior design choices.
