| dc.description.abstract | According to the Net-Zero Carbon Emissions by 2050, from the global aspect of carbon footprint, the main use of construction is for residence. The International Energy Agency indicates that Construction section produces 40% ,Transportation section produces 23% ,Industry and Production section produce the rest of the carbon footprint.
With the development of electric vehicles, fossil fuel vehicles will eventually be replaced. It can be predicted that the carbon footprint from Transportation section will substantially decrease. Thus, Construction section will cover most of the energy consumption it. Domestic highway accounts for 96.8%, passenger car accounts for 52.18% and truck accounts for 16.62 percent of the energy consumption. In other words, if there are charging piles in every single building and the percentage of energy consumption from transportation and construction keep the same, almost 50% of the energy consumption in our country will be from Construction section. However, since many countries have regulated policy of Zero-energy buildings, cities are facing significant challenges of energy consumption and it increases the difficulties of zero carbon footprint.
This theses is using Taipei City as an example of predicting future growth of electric vehicles, the design, repair and renewal of construction. Using city-level energy consumption of construction and electrical transportation to evaluate, with the foundation of BIM and BEM such as Revit Insight, The method must be further verified and analyzed. With the progression of Zero Carbon Footprint, we hope that we can improve human beings’ living conditions to reach energy sustainability. | en_US |
