dc.description.abstract | The Kyoto protocol, signed by 160 countries, pledges greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reductions of at least 5% relative to 1990 levels [1]. Besides the global concern and action to mitigate GHG emissions, national-level policies are increasingly being supplemented with city-scale actions to mitigate climate change [2]. Marshall [3] makes us notice that although much attention on mitigating climate change has focused on alternative fuels, energy consumption in vehicles, and electricity generation, better urban design represents an important yet undervalued opportunity. The built environment is responsible for huge amounts of pollution and waste generation [4] at millions of different locations worldwide. And one of the major construction materials is concrete. |
