Review of Research on Carbon Reduction Paths in Construction Project Implementation

Abstract

This review comprehensively examines carbon reduction paths in construction project implementation. It highlights advancements in three key areas: 1) carbon accounting methods like LCA and BIM for accurate emission measurement; 2) practical strategies including low-carbon materials, optimized concrete, and prefabrication to reduce on-site emissions; and 3) enabling management and policy mechanisms such as carbon pricing and sustainable procurement. The synthesis underscores the need for an integrated approach combining technological innovation, robust accounting, and supportive policies to drive the construction industry towards a sustainable, low-carbon future.
