Unraveling the Life Cycle Carbon Emissions of Green Office Building with Hotspot-Oriented Regression, a GRE-Xiamen University Collaboration

Buildings contribute to 38% of global energy-related CO2 emissions, and the trend to develop green buildings with low or net-zero status has gained traction. A regression model focused on hotspots (i.e., high carbon emissions) has been developed for green-certified office buildings, utilizing Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and Multiple Linear Regression (MLR) methods. We collected on-site data and adopted material-specific parameters contributing to the most embodied carbon (EC) and operational carbon (OC) to enhance the prediction accuracy of regression models from a life cycle perspective
