“…Processes 2023, 11,1989 2 of 27 construction, operation, and demolition, and requires the integration of both basic data and unit emergy values [15]. Due to the wide range of sustainable inputs involved in the building system, such as materials, machinery, and human services, different researchers have explored this concept in diverse ways [16][17][18][19][20][21].…”

This paper focuses on the sustainable exploration of building systems, which combines ecological concepts and low-carbon designs for a comprehensive sustainability assessment investigation. The study employed the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)-Emergy and Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)-Carbon emission methods to discuss a range of topics, including the main contributing factors, sustainability index verification, sensitivity analysis, and potential improvement measures. From an ecological sustainability perspective, the results indicate that the building operation stage plays a critical role, accounting for approximately 45% of the entire emergy in the building commercial complex. The sustainable index (ESI) is 0.354, which is below the standard of 1. Moreover, the building operation stage also significantly contributes to carbon emissions, particularly in the 50th anniversary of operation. Based on these findings, the study recommends two potential strategies to improve the ecological state and low-carbon design which involve the use of renewable energy and carbon sink improvement, respectively.
