Towards Carbon-Neutral Steel Buildings: Framework for Sustainable System Selection in Commercial and Residential Construction

Start Date: Not Started

Duration: 3 Years

This project is the first phase of a long-term research project that aims to develop tools for estimating and reducing of embodied carbon in civil infrastructure systems. The overarching objectives are to develop a tool that systematically quantifies the environmental impact of constructing steel buildings, and to propose guidelines for selecting structural and non-structural components to minimize embodied carbon in typical commercial and residential buildings.
