Resumen

As regards the carbon emission levels of the logistics stage of prefabricated buildings, this study aims to fill the gap in scientific and unified carbon emission calculation models and standards. Thus, the calculation boundary for carbon emissions was first defined in this study. Secondly, various carbon emission factors related to China?s energy consumption characteristics were summarized. Subsequently, a carbon emission calculation model for the logistics stage was established, based on the carbon emission factor method. Finally, taking a project as an example, the carbon emission level at the transportation stage was calculated using the proposed model. The effect of full-load rates on the carbon emission levels of prefabricated components was also evaluated. The results demonstrate that the full-load rate has a significant effect on carbon emissions during the transportation stage (54.32% reduction in carbon emissions at 100% full load). Therefore, increasing the full-load rate can reduce carbon emissions from transportation, as long as the loading requirements are met.
