Journal Article
Hart, J., D'Amico, B., & Pomponi, F. (2021). Whole-life embodied carbon in multi-storey buildings: steel, concrete and timber structures. Journal of Industrial Ecology, 25(2), 403-418. https://doi.org/10.1111/jiec.13139

Buildings and the construction industry are top contributors to climate change, and structures account for the largest share of the upfront greenhouse gas emissions. Whilst a body of research exists into such emissions, a systematic comparison of mul... Read More about Whole-life embodied carbon in multi-storey buildings: steel, concrete and timber structures.
