Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of Carbon Emission of Garden Pavement by Peiyong WANG, Ruixing LU

“…Firstly, the carbon emission accounting model is constructed based on the life cycle of garden pavement projects: the carbon emission factor method is adopted to calculate carbon emissions in such stages as material production, construction and transportation, maintenance and material recycling of garden pavement projects, during which the specific calculation parameters are mainly derived from the engineering practical experience, national standards and relevant research data. Secondly, after calculating the total amount of carbon emissions released during the life cycle of each type of garden pavement, the data are normalized by “carbon emission per square meter per year”, and the research results are obtained. …”
