Equivalent CO2 Emissions and Construction Costs of Buildings Designed Using Recycled Aggregate Concrete
… were designed and analysed for equivalent CO2 emissions and costs during construction. In cases where higher quality RCA was available the reduction in eCO2 emissions was determined to be as high as 13.7%. Even with lower quality RCA, emission reductions of up to 8% were observed with …

Tradable carbon permits : their potential to reduce CO2 emissions from the transport sector
… regarding mitigation, it is imperative to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases. Road transport is a significant contributor to UK CO2 emissions, with the majority arising from personal road transport. A working model of a Tradable Carbon Permit (TCP) scheme was therefore designed to achieve a 60% …

An analysis of the performance of certification schemes in the hotel sector in terms of CO2 emissions reduction.
… the impact of global tourism on climate change, emissions from transport receive the most attention although emissions associated with accommodation account for more than 20% of the total. A plethora of hotel certification schemes have been established worldwide that assess various environmental …
