A Noded Carbon Emission Tool (NCET) to Measure Embodied Carbon (EC) in Compositional Cementitious Materials
Abstract
The ever evolving modern construction industry is now producing the highest levels of carbon content adversely affecting the construction associated environment. Although, the impact of carbon induced emission is quite large, but still not enough measurable standards and tools to scale these emission are available. This study contributes to the body of knowledge by providing a Grasshopper based definition to calculate the embodied carbon with respect to the cement composition by percentage weight. This tool consists of three sections the first section incorporates the acquisitioned carbon emission factors for Cement, GGBS, Fly ash, NPA, Gypsum, Limestone, and MAC, the second part includes the Waste/Additional Energy incorporation to the compositional cementitious material, whereas the third section includes the calculation processes via which the prior two sections are merged. The resulting output delivers embodied carbon in concerned material in KgCO2/Kg as a unit.
