Ontology-based approach for structural design considering low embodiedn energy and carbon

摘要

Buildings account for a large share of energy consumption and greenhouse gas emission. Numerous methods have been applied to operate buildings more efficiently. However, the embodied energy and carbon are identified increasingly important in terms of sustainability throughout building life cycle. In traditional building structural design approach, the engineers pay little attention on environmental aspect Which has been recognised as one of the most important factors to consider in modern integr
