Quantitative Research on Carbon Emissions of Traditional Rural Regional Materials: A Case Study of the Materialization Stage and Demolition Stage in the Architectural Style Renewal of Traditional Villages
Abstract:Under the strategic goal of carbon peaking and carbon neutrality, carbon reduction and emission reduction have become one of the key components of rural revitalization to achieve ecological livability. Among them, rural building construction is a major contributor to rural carbon emissions, with significant carbon reduction potential. By establishing the whole life cycle of rural buildings, this paper focuses on the application of materials in rural building renewal, calculates the carbon emissions of regional materials and modern materials during the renewal process, and discusses the feasibility and necessity of applying traditional regional materials in current rural building renewal. This study finds that: 1) Compared with modern materials, the use of regional materials can significantly reduce the carbon emissions of rural building renewal—carbon emissions can be reduced by 69.34% and 93.10% respectively in the materialization and demolition stages, which meets the objective requirements of the carbon peaking and carbon neutrality goals. 2) In the materialization stage, the most significant carbon reduction effect is the transportation of building materials, which is reduced by 97.31%; In the demolition stage, the most notable reduction occurs in the waste transportation link, with a carbon emission decrease of 95.94%. 3) The harvesting and application of regional materials in the renewal and construction is within the carrying capacity of the rural ecosystem. Under this premise, carbon reduction has a minimal impact on the natural environment, which is highly consistent with the ecological concepts inherent in traditional construction wisdom.
