Abstract

As the urbanization process in China accelerates, the issue of carbon emissions in the construction industry becomes increasingly prominent. Beijing, as the capital of China, the green and sustainable development of its construction industry can provide a reference for other cities. To explore the potential for carbon emission reduction during the operation phase of the construction industry in Beijing, this paper combines algorithm simulation and simulation analysis to study the carbon emission characteristics of five types of public buildings in the region (office buildings, hotels, schools, commercial buildings, and hospitals), as well as three different forms of energy supply (electric cooling electric heating, electric cooling municipal heating, and electric cooling gas heating). The results show that public buildings have enormous carbon reduction potential, with an average reduction potential of about 70.15kgCO₂/m²·a. Among them, hospitals have the greatest carbon reduction potential, with a reduction potential of about 128.71kgCO₂/m²·a. Targeted carbon reduction analysis can be conducted from the aspects of reducing heating carbon emissions and basic load carbon emissions, which has important theoretical and practical value for promoting China’s construction industry to achieve carbon neutrality goals.
