An Empirical Study on Energy Saving and Emissions Reduction of Prefabricated Buildings Based on the Whole Life Cycle
Publication: ICCREM 2022
ABSTRACT
Based on the whole life cycle evaluation theory, the whole life cycle of the prefabricated housing project is divided into four parts: design stage, production and construction stage, use and maintenance stage, and demolition and abandonment stage. Through the design of a questionnaire on the satisfaction of energy saving and emission reduction of prefabricated houses in Vanke Chunheli, Shenyang, a census was conducted on 120 owners of the #17 Building in Chunheli. Finally, an empirical study is carried out on the prefabricated residential project of the #17 Building, and the carbon emissions, water saving, electricity saving, material saving, land saving, and other indicators of the residential project in different stages of the life cycle of the residential project are calculated. Compared with traditional cast-in-place residential projects with similar construction scale, it is concluded that the energy saving and emission reduction effect of prefabricated residential buildings is significant.
