Abstract
China is currently in the period of rapid urbanization development. The construction activities in the process of urbanization have produced a large amount of greenhouse gases, which has led to increasingly severe pressure on China's greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction. This paper uses life cycle assessment (LCA) theory to analyze the greenhouse gas emission during construction, defines the accounting scope and establishes an accounting model for construction carbon emissions. A total of 10 new student dormitories in Shenzhen University were selected. According to the building structure, they were divided into shear wall, frame shear wall and brick-concrete structure, to calculate and analyze the carbon emissions in the construction process. The results show that the main carbon emission factors of these three types of residential buildings include earthwork, reinforcing steel work, concrete work and vertical transportation. The cumulative carbon emissions of these four divisional engineering accounted for 67% of the total construction carbon emissions of the shear wall structure, 60% of the frame shear wall structure and 61% of the brick-concrete structure. These four construction processes’ carbon emissions can be further explored in the future
