Nevertheless, the brick has continued to be used mostly for closings, despite competition from more contemporary and technologically complex materials, demonstrating that its "non-structural" features are still valued: cost-effectiveness, flexibility, durability, impact resistance, and, last but not least, appearance Furthermore, in the context of current concerns for "sustainable" architecture, the "ecological" qualities of ceramics-as a "healthy" material with a low environmental impact-as well as the ecological control capacity of the massive wall, bring the single-layer masonry back to the forefront, but based on products with improved performance.…”

Bricks are the most frequent ceramic product and may be found in antique and modern structures. Together with stone and concrete, they are among the most used building materials [1]. Reading through history, we may see that throughout the Stone Age, cave dwellers erected structures for a variety of reasons out of fragments of rocks and boulders of various shapes; Menhirs, dolmens, and cromlechs have survived to this day-stone constructs used for religious purposes. Dwellings and fortresses were constructed from unhewn natural stone, the shards of which were piled on each other without any order. Brick is a common antique building material that has been used from ancient times, such as in Egypt's ancient dwellings, Rome's Colosseum, and many sections of China's Great Wall. One of the earliest construction materials is brick [2]. It was utilized in Mycenaean civilization, ancient Greece, Rome, Central America, and other ancient constructions. The oldest, used in prehistoric times, is dry masonry of irregularly shaped stones. Soil is a natural building material that can be seen everywhere, and it also has its unique style in traditional architecture. Like wood, stone has been the primary building material since ancient times. It has been used as a construction material since prehistoric times. The actual art of brickmaking may be observed in the great range of textures and surface treatments, which constitute a distinctive mark of each maker. Brick is now employed for resistant buildings, regular internal walls, interior or outside surface decorating, pavement, and even modern art installations. No other building feature provides as many opportunities for producing one-of-a-kind architectural effects. The most ancient type of bricks in the Western Hemisphere is a type of bricks as adobe [3]. Nicolas Durand et al. affirm that the precipitation of calcium carbonate is common in soils and regoliths, especially in soils of arid environments [4]. At the same time, calcareous porous clay can be found in dry regions worldwide but is mainly mined in Latin America, Mexico, and the southern United States are all included. Manzanilla et al. argue that the ancient Aztec tribe built the Pyramid of the Sun out of adobe in the fifteenth century and that it still stands today. In contrast to modern brick, ancient brick was square and flat (sides 30-60 cm, thickness 3-9 cm) [5]. There are generally two types of masonry: brick and stone masonry. Brick masonry: a type of masonry that uses bricks. However, masonry is further divided into "clay work," which uses clay to fill various joints with bricks to build walls, and "cement masonry," the cheapest type of masonry. Masonry: this is the art of building with bricks or stone. The ability of masonry to

Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design for New Construction and Renovation (LEED-NC), version 3 (v3)-certified projects include at least 13 different space types. However, the impact of space types on LEED certification strategies is not yet fully understood. This study assessed the impact of different building types on achieving LEED-NC v3 categories and credits in gold-certified projects in Poland. The exact Wilcoxon–Mann–Whitney test and Fisher’s exact 2 × 2 with Lancaster’s correction test were used to estimate the difference between four space types (i.e., through pairwise comparison) with small sample sizes (n): industrial manufacturing space (IMS) (n = 9), office space (OS) (n = 7), multi-family residential space (MRS) (n = 6), and lodging space (LS) (n = 8). With these sample sizes, meaningful conclusions could be drawn with these tests. Design structure: IMS and OS refer to two subgroups nested in the production group, while MRS and LS refer to two other subgroups nested in the live group. This design structure was used to perform the logical analysis. The results showed that the number of significant differences (p ≤ 0.05) (i) between two subgroups (IMS vs. OS) within the production group was 1 out of 46, and (ii) between two subgroups (MRS vs. LS) within the living group was 6 out of 46, while (iii) the difference between the production and living groups was 45 out of 184. When comparing the production and living groups, LEED indoor environmental quality credit achievements showed the largest contribution (37%) to the number of significant differences. The practical implication of the study is to offer recommendations on LEED certification strategies for production and living spaces.

“…With the development of new technologies and the invention of new materials, there are opportunities to reduce the carbon emissions from cement [53,54]. Prefabricated houses that are built with innovative prefabrication technologies and that are facilitated by BIM have been shown to reduce the carbon footprint of concrete and alleviate the environmental pressure caused by construction [55]. In addition, BIM-assisted analyses of building materials, such as concrete, steel, and cement, provide evidence to inform the development of policies and regulations to reduce the energy consumption and emissions [56,57].…”

Governments across the world are taking actions to address the high carbon emissions associated with the construction industry, and to achieve the long-term goals of the Paris Agreement towards carbon neutrality. Although the ideal of the carbon-emission reduction in building projects is well acknowledged and generally accepted, it is proving more difficult to implement. The application of building information modeling (BIM) brings about new possibilities for reductions in carbon emissions within the context of sustainable buildings. At present, the studies on BIM associated with carbon emissions have concentrated on the design stage, with the topics focusing on resource efficiency (namely, building energy and carbon-emission calculators). However, the effect of BIM in reducing carbon emissions across the lifecycle phases of buildings is not well researched. Therefore, this paper aims to examine the relationship between BIM, carbon emissions, and sustainable buildings by reviewing and assessing the current state of the research hotspots, trends, and gaps in the field of BIM and carbon emissions, providing a reference for understanding the current body of knowledge, and helping to stimulate future research. This paper adopts the macroquantitative and microqualitative research methods of bibliometric analysis. The results show that, in green-building construction, building lifecycle assessments, sustainable materials, the building energy efficiency and design, and environmental-protection strategies are the five most popular research directions of BIM in the field of carbon emissions in sustainable buildings. Interestingly, China has shown a good practice of using BIM for carbon-emission reduction. Furthermore, the findings suggest that the current research in the field is focused on the design and construction stages, which indicates that the operational and demolition stages have greater potential for future research. The results also indicate the need for policy and technological drivers for the rapid development of BIM-driven carbon-emission reduction.
