Abstract
- We created a simple BIM tool to compare life cycle carbon emissions of a house.
- Material design choice can reduce embodied carbon.
- Operational carbon represents 74-80% of carbon emissions over 60yr life of a house.
- The significance of embodied carbon becomes greater as operational carbon is reduced.
