Implications and future direction of greenhouse gas emission mitigation policies in the building sector of China

CO2 emissions from China’s lime industry

“…When using the keywords ''CO 2 emissions industry China,'' 82 journal articles on industrial production were found, but none were related to lime production in China (see Table A2). This literature review shows that most of the previous studies have focused on greenhouse gases emitted from fossil fuel combustion and cement production [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17], whereas limited studies have addressed emissions from lime production in China. From the global view, only few studies have addressed emissions from lime industry However, these studies mostly focused on the industry process and technique, such as the environmental impact of lime production process [18] and emissions from different lime kilns [19].…”

Environmental impact assessment with CO<SUB align="right">2 control of construction project and its application in China

“…The second one is emissions intensity that is unit production greenhouse emissions intension, unit GDP or unit industry value carbon dioxide emissions quantity of greenhouse emissions. The last one is control efficiency which is comprehensive energy consumption, unit product or industry value (GDP) energy cost (You, 2011;Wang et al, 2014). The greenhouse gases emissions assessment indexes includes basic indexes of construction project environmental assessment greenhouse gases consisting of annual emissions quantity of greenhouse (ton/year), unit production greenhouse gases emissions metric (ton/ton production) and unit industry increase value of greenhouse emissions metric (ton/10,000 RMB) and the optional indexes for construction project environmental assessment greenhouse gases comprising of comprehensive energy consumption (ton standard coal/year), unit production energy cost (ton standard coal/ton production), unit industry increase value energy cost (ton standard/Yuan).…”

A review on windcatcher for passive cooling and natural ventilation in buildings, Part 1: Indoor air quality and thermal comfort assessment

“…Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions particularly CO 2 emissions originating from fossil fuels consumption in buildings further amplified the global warming trend much intensively [2]. Buildings account for about 40% of the global energy consumption [3] and [4] and contribute over 40% of the total world CO 2 emissions [5] and [6].…”
