Abstract

To clarify the longitudinal influence relationships and hierarchical structure among carbon emission reduction driving factors and achieve quantitative analysis, this study first identified 18 carbon reduction drivers through grounded theory methodology across five dimensions: resources and energy, project profile, transportation and warehousing, construction and management, and ecological environment. Subsequently, based on the integrated DEMATEL-ISM approach, a multi-level hierarchical ISM model of carbon reduction drivers during the embodied phase of prefabricated buildings was constructed to determine their hierarchical structure. By analyzing the centrality metrics and weight distributions of these drivers, critical carbon reduction factors were identified, while pathway weights were derived through structural modeling, ultimately establishing key carbon reduction pathways. Finally, an empirical validation was conducted using a prefabricated high-rise residential building project. The results demonstrate that material selection constitutes the pivotal carbon reduction factor, with the pathway”Low-carbon project design → Construction organization optimization → Material selection → Transportation planning → Energy structure adjustment → Dust control” emerging as the most significant implementation route for carbon mitigation.
