Green Building: CO₂ Emissions in the Construction Industry

Dear Colleagues,

The construction industry is a great contributor to a nation’s total CO₂ emissions due to its resource-intensive characteristic and emission-intensive upstream activities. Addressing CO₂ emissions in the construction industry is gaining increasing attention and is becoming crucial for our sustainable future. Despite green buildings can mitigate CO₂ emissions of buildings from a life cycle perspective, there is still a lack of in-depth analysis and discussion on their impact on the construction industry's overall CO₂ emissions.

This Special Issue aims to present and discuss findings related to green buildings and CO₂ emissions in the construction industry, promoting scientific contributions related to sustainability and sustainable construction.
