Embodied energy and embodied carbon of structural building materials: Worldwide progress and barriers through literature map analysis

Climate change mitigation is a recurrent consciousness topic among society and policymakers. Actions are being adopted to face this crucial environmental challenge, with a rising concern with a big impact on the building sector. Construction materials have a high carbon footprint as well as an energ...

Construction materials have a high carbon footprint as well as an energy-intensive activity.
