Research on Carbon Emission Measurement of Construction Products Based on BIM

Abstract

With global warming, environmental issues have gradually received attention. Surprisingly, the construction industry contributes most of the greenhouse gases. In order to reduce carbon emissions, the construction industry has proposed many energy-saving and emission-reduction methods from the perspectives of construction technology, reverse logistics supply chain optimization, and design optimization. However, problems in the prediction and measurement of carbon emissions have always been the focus and difficulty of the construction industry. Recently, BIM technology has continuously penetrated into the construction industry, which has influenced many scholars to gradually use BIM technology to reduce carbon emissions. Unlike other scholars, this research uses the Revit API to integrate carbon emission measurement functions into the Revit environment. These not only reduce the dependence on third-party software and tedious operations, but also provide architectural designers with reference information for environment optimization during the design stage.
