Abstract:

This paper is aimed at making a review of the recent research situation in-situ on the carbon emission( CE) account and analysis of the influential factors( IFs) through summing up the applications and relevant analysis methods. And,then,a brief review has to be made on the research status and trends of the aforementioned aspects in the field of building industry so as to provide references for further studies on the energy conservation and carbon emission reduction. To achieve the above mentioned purposes,the paper of ours has briefly introduced 3 general methods of CE accounting especially by highlighting the accounting manner of the single building CE and macro-building embodiment and operational CE. The CE accounting method for the individual building evaluation should be mainly done on the basis of the framework of the life cycle assessment,e. g. BEES,ENVEST and BEPAS. And,in regard to the macroscopic features,it would be possible for us to classify or categorize the accounting ideas of building embodiment and operational CE into methods of top-down approach and bottom-up one with their differences being illustrated. The bottom-up approach seems to be more detailed,visible as well as accurate or precise,yet,it is more complex and complicated to fulfil their calculations and acquire a lot of data investigations. On the contrary,the topdown approach just goes opposite by nature. In terms of CE-IFs analysis,there can be found 3 main types of methods( i. e.IPAT series model,index decomposition analysis and the structural decomposition analysis). And,we have also illustrated and elaborated their advantages,disadvantages as well as the application procedures in addition to a vivid comparison. Focusing on the building of CE IFs,we have also summarized a few key issues in this way:( 1) The research scopes can be mainly focused on the CE/IFs of the building industry or the building operations;( 2) The model of IPAT series has been widely adopted in combination with LMDI;( 3) The key IFs are mainly related to the society,economics and building operations. Thus,in final analysis,the paper has mainly illustrated the drawbacks of the current studies and presented prospects for their further research in 3 aspects: building CE accounting scope, the accounting methodologies and perspectives of IFs analysis.
