| Özet |
| Embodied carbon emissions play a critical role in mitigating climate change in the built environment. Reducing the embodied carbon footprint has become increasingly important across distinct areas. Construction activities have a remarkable impact on embodied carbon emissions. During building use, material and component obsolescence, or the end of their service lifetime, triggers building replacements. These replacement-based construction activities lead to embodied carbon emissions. The replacements vary due to distinct material and component choices and have variations in embodied carbon emissions. Hence, this study aims to assess the impact of material selection on embodied carbon emissions for building replacements in the scope of a representative building in Tokat. The embodied carbon emissions of replaceable building elements and components were manually calculated for the use phase of the buildings. In this regard, two distinct replacement-based scenarios were created for the reference building. While conventional materials were selected for replacements in the first scenario, low-carbon materials were chosen in the second. The results revealed that 36% of embodied carbon emissions (12.7 t CO2e) can be reduced by choosing more environmentally friendly materials with lower carbon emissions, such as wooden, water-based, and emulsion-based materials. The waterproofing membranes, roofing tiles, windows, and interior doors were significant elements and components in the case study, helping reduce total embodied carbon emissions. The results showed the importance of material selection for building … |
