Journal Article
Rasmussen, F. N., Malmqvist, T., Moncaster, A., Wiberg, A. H., & Birgisdόttir, H. (2018). Analysing methodological choices in calculations of embodied energy and GHG emissions from buildings. Energy and Buildings, 158, 1487-1498. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.enbuild.2017.11.013

The importance of embodied energy and embodied greenhouse gas emissions (EEG) from buildings is gaining increased interest within building sector initiatives and on a regulatory level. In spite of recent harmonisation efforts, reported results of EEG... Read More about Analysing methodological choices in calculations of embodied energy and GHG emissions from buildings.

Decision-making for the demolition or adaptation of buildings (2017)
Journal Article
Baker, H., Moncaster, A., & Tabbaa, A. A. (2017). Decision-making for the demolition or adaptation of buildings. Proceedings of the ICE - Forensic Engineering, 170(3), 144-156. https://doi.org/10.1680/jfoen.16.00026

This paper considers why the decision may be made either to demolish or adapt existing buildings on brownfield sites and compares real-life decisions to those produced by theoretical design-support tools. Five case studies, including three individual... Read More about Decision-making for the demolition or adaptation of buildings.

Measuring embodied carbon dioxide equivalent of buildings: A review and critique of current industry practice (2017)
Journal Article
De Wolf, C., Pomponi, F., & Moncaster, A. (2017). Measuring embodied carbon dioxide equivalent of buildings: A review and critique of current industry practice. Energy and Buildings, 140, 68-80. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.enbuild.2017.01.075

Lowering the embodied carbon dioxide equivalent (embodied CO2e) of buildings is an essential response to national and global targets for carbon reduction. Globally, construction industry is developing tools, databases and practices for measuring embo...
