Assessment of CO2 emissions is the foremost imperative evaluation tool in modern green buildings and carbon footprints. The key to its success is dependent upon a reliable database system of CO2 emissions along with an accurate and simple application. This research has been instituted based on more than 300 databases collected from CO2-emitting air-conditioning units and 22 applications of estimated CO2 emissions during graduate school. 42 actual air-conditioning system projects are then individually analyzed to derive emitted CO2. Accuracy of the estimate is backed by coefficient of determination, R2, averaging above 0.9 using volume or capacity of the air-conditioning to formulate CO2 emissions. It offers a simple assessment method for estimating reliable CO2 emissions in the design stage by evaluating the impact the construction industry has on the global environment. Sustainable design and assessment of carbon footprint hence has made a significant contribution to green building. |
