Carbon Footprint Accounting Models and Methodologies for Industrialized Buildings

Abstract

With the ongoing advancement of the "Dual Carbon" goals, the development model characterized by high carbon emissions in the traditional construction industry has become increasingly incompatible with the demands of green and low-carbon development. Industrialized construction, leveraging its advantages of standardization and intensification, has emerged as a critical pathway for carbon reduction. Carbon footprint accounting serves as a core mechanism for monitoring and managing carbon emissions throughout the entire life cycle of industrialized buildings. The scientific rigor of its accounting models and methodologies directly influences the effectiveness of carbon reduction efforts. This study concentrates on the essential issues of carbon footprint accounting for industrialized construction, conducting a systematic investigation into the construction rationale of accounting models and specific methodologies. It aims to provide data support and practical references for the formulation of comprehensive carbon reduction strategies and the practical implementation of low-carbon transformation in the industrialized building sector.
