“…Therefore, the HACO 2 of a household in this city is the sum of the dwelling's CO 2 emissions during its life cycle (LCCO 2 ), the CO 2 emissions from one year of personal trips to the urban center (CTCO 2 ), and the CO 2 emissions from one year of power consumption (ELCO 2 ). This HACO 2 can be expressed as (Tang et al, 2005 andTang, Munemoto 2007):…”

New residential needs have recently caused a construction boom in central areas of Japanese metropolises leading to population recovery and compact conversion in many cities, such as Kyoto. This study shows how central Kyoto has become compact by an investigation of condominiums. An evaluation of CO 2 emissions based on the supply of condominiums was carried out. The investigation shows that the supply of condominiums within the central district of Kyoto has been increasing faster than that in the fringe district recently. Travel distance and modes of transportation are changed by such compaction process. The estimation shows that compact housing arrangement, which shortens traveling distance and changes the transportation modes of residents, helps to reduce CO 2 emission in Kyoto. The results also indicate that, in the central district of Kyoto, the supply of dwelling units for households with more than two family members is more effective in reducing CO 2 emission.

“…Significant increases in these CO 2 emissions highlighted the importance of controlling CO 2 emissions at the household level (Ministry of Environment, 2005). With respect to individual households, our previous study proposed an instrument to manage housing arrangement based on the maximum average gross floor area (GFA) in an urban condition given a constraint on a household's annual CO 2 emission (HACO 2 ) (Tang et al, 2005). HACO 2 was defined as the sum of the CO 2 emission during the life cycle of house construction and operation (LCCO 2 ) (Munemoto et al, 2002) and CO 2 emissions resulting from commuting (CTCO 2 ).…”

In the modern community, global effort is required to reduce the CO 2 emissions resulting from human actions to acceptable levels. However, global objectives may contradict individual benefits; attempts to reduce CO 2 emissions can result in the commons dilemma. This paper explores how the cooperation of individual households can be invoked to achieve a global target of reducing CO 2 emissions from households (HACO 2 ) in cities. A commons payoff function linked household benefits to the number of cooperators in a city: a CO 2 emission trading scheme (CETS) for households was introduced into the payoff function as a way to support cooperators. A multi-agent simulator was applied to a search for relationships among parameters in the payoff function and social cooperation from households (R). Results indicate that levying only household maintenance charges is an ineffective way to gain the cooperation of more than half of the households in a city, and extremely high maintenance also discouraged cooperative behavior; the use of CETS could increase cooperation, and R > 0.6 when emission trading prices were five times higher than unit reduction costs, and when unit maintenance charges were almost the same as reduction costs; and it was impossible to gain cooperation from all households until opinions about resource use and reducing emissions were changed.

“…However, these studies and regulations are rather concentrated on operation and maintenance phases, not on construction phases (Rey et al, 2007;Yaegashi et al, 2015;Kang and Rhee, 2012). As part of the effort to create a sustainable construction environment, investigation of alternative methods intended to reduce CO 2 emissions during the construction phase is deemed necessary , Tang et al, 2006. As a result, Green Frame was developed.…”

Green Frame is a column-beam system that uses composite precast concrete members. Previous studies have proven this system to be not only structurally safe, constructible, and economically feasible, but also environmentally friendly. However, the column and beam of the frame need to be improved further in terms of structural performance in order to reduce the CO 2 emissions. To this end, a more enhanced structural system than the existing Green Frame has been developed. The aim of this paper is to analyze the embodied energy and CO 2 reduction effect of a column-beam structure with enhanced CPC members. An apartment building project was selected as a case study, and the CO 2 reduction effect was compared between the existing and enhanced Green Frame. It was found that the improved system would result in a 3% reduction in CO 2 compared with the existing one.
