Abstract:The concept of green building plays an important role in carbon emission reduction. This paper focuses on the energy conservation in the building operational phase to assess the carbon emission reduction potential of several major green building technologies. Energy use intensity is simulated using EnergyPlus with prototypical models of various green building scenarios for office buildings and hotels in Shanghai and Harbin. The carbon emission factor is calculated according to the energy structure in the build… Show more
