Uncovering the lifecycle GHG emissions and its reduction opportunities from the urban buildings: A case study of Macau
Abstract
It firstly estimates the lifecycle GHG emissions from Macau urban buildings during 1999–2016. Building GHG emissions have grown quickly from 1.52 Mt CO2e in 1999 to 5.91 Mt CO2e in 2016. For use stage, unit emissions from resident and non-resident buildings in 2016 are 65.33 and 3316.37 CO2e/m2, respectively. Gaming industry and clean electricity should be key points of building GHG emission reduction. Three scenarios are set for potential GHG emission reduction in Macau.
