Net zero in buildings and construction: use and misuse of carbon offsets (2023)
Book Chapter
D'Amico, B., & Pomponi, F. (2024). Net zero in buildings and construction: use and misuse of carbon offsets. In R. Azari, & A. Moncaster (Eds.), The Routledge Handbook of Embodied Carbon in the Built Environment. Routledge. https://doi.org/10.4324/9781003

The climate change burden associated with buildings and construction is increasingly globally recognised by the many stakeholders involved. For decades there has been an unnecessary divide between the operational and embodied impacts of buildings, wi...

Uncertainty Analysis in Embodied Carbon Assessments: What Are the Implications of Its Omission? (2018)
Book Chapter
Mendoza Beltran, M. A., Pomponi, F., Guinée, J. B., & Heijungs, R. (2018). Uncertainty Analysis in Embodied Carbon Assessments: What Are the Implications of Its Omission?. In F. Pomponi, C. De Wolf, & A. Moncaster (Eds.), Embodied Carbon in Buildings (3-

Embodied carbon assessments of buildings are not methodologically very different from the more well-known life cycle assessments (LCAs). In particular, the two also share the frequent lack of uncertainty analysis in many assessments produced by acade...

Double-Skin Façades for the Sustainable Refurbishment of Non-domestic Buildings: A Life Cycle Environmental Impact Perspective (2016)
Book Chapter
Pomponi, F., Piroozfar, P. A. E., & Farr, E. R. P. (2016). Double-Skin Façades for the Sustainable Refurbishment of Non-domestic Buildings: A Life Cycle Environmental Impact Perspective. In M. Dastbaz, & C. Gorse (Eds.), Sustainable Ecological Engineerin

In developed countries, existing buildings have the biggest share in the building stock. Given the age of construction, the property versus land values, and their slow replacement rate, low-carbon refurbishments are arguably one of the most sensible...

In the UK, 75% of non-domestic buildings will still exist in 2050, and the reduction of their emissions represents a major challenge for the UK government to meet the greenhouse gases (GHG) target. There is a growing tendency towards the use of doubl... Read More about Double- or Single-Skin Façades for Low-Carbon Office Refurbishments in the UK: A Comparative Case Study.
