Modeling the Economic Profit for Stakeholders of Public Building Carbon Emissions Trading
Publication: ICCREM 2016: BIM Application and Off-Site Construction
ABSTRACT
It’s necessary to ascertain economic profit level of stakeholders in public building carbon emissions trading according to incentive-compatible mechanism design. This paper aims to establish the economic profit model and calculation method for these stakeholders, by using system analysis methodology. By finding out the process of public buildings carbon emissions trading, recognizing stakeholders, and dividing the trading-level, the analysis of cost and benefit brought by public buildings carbon emissions trading was carried out. The economic profits were modeled and the calculation method was also given. Wherein, central government, local government, and public building owners were focused on who are stakeholders at the major level. The models can help governments to determine public buildings carbon reduction incentive strength and also can help public buildings owners to select carbon emission reduction plan.
