Green Construction for the Future: Reducing Embodied Carbon in High-rise Building Construction

Green Construction for the Future: Reducing Embodied Carbon in High-rise Building ConstructiThis program is funded by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Research, and Technology for the years 2023-2024. The primary objective of this research initiative is to explore innovative strategies aimed at reducing embodied carbon in high-rise building construction.

Embodied carbon refers to the carbon dioxide emissions associated with the manufacturing, transportation, and construction processes of building materials. As the construction industry continues to expand, it becomes increasingly crucial to mitigate the environmental impact of construction activities.

Through this research program, our team seeks to identify and evaluate potential solutions for reducing the embodied carbon footprint in high-rise buildings. By investigating alternative construction materials, innovative design approaches, and efficient construction techniques, we aim to develop practical strategies that promote sustainability and environmental responsibility in the built environment.

Ultimately, the findings and insights gained from this research will contribute to the development of greener and more environmentally friendly practices in the construction industry. By addressing the challenge of embodied carbon in high-rise building construction, we strive to pave the way for a more sustainable future.
