Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of building energy conservation and carbon emission technology, and in particular to a method for calculating carbon emissions throughout the building's life cycle based on operational carbon and implicit carbon. Background Technology

[0002] Throughout a building's entire lifespan, various activities will generate varying degrees of energy consumption and carbon emissions. Currently, energy conservation and carbon reduction throughout a building's lifespan have received unprecedented attention and have become a crucial aspect of implementing the national dual-carbon strategy.

[0003] Conducting carbon emission calculations and analyses during the building design phase is of great significance. On the one hand, it helps to rationally determine building schemes and optimize energy supply and electromechanical system designs; on the other hand, it provides a scientific basis for setting relevant performance parameters, playing a decisive role in the environmental impact and resource consumption of subsequent building activities. Therefore, carbon emission calculations during the building design phase have become a core link in controlling the energy consumption and carbon emission performance throughout the building's entire life cycle.

[0004] The national standard GB / T 51366-2019, "Standard for Calculation of Carbon Emissions from Buildings" (hereinafter referred to as the "National Carbon Emission Standard"), provides corresponding carbon emission calculation methods for the operation phase, construction and demolition phase, and building material production and transportation phase. However, existing building carbon emission calculation methods are all based on the time phase of the building, which has the following significant problems: (1) The distinction between the nature of carbon emissions is ambiguous. From the perspective of carbon emission characteristics, building carbon emissions can be clearly divided into operational carbon and embodied carbon. Operational carbon refers to the total greenhouse gas emissions generated during the building's operation due to energy and water consumption. It persists throughout the entire operational phase of the building, focusing on the building's energy and water needs, and can be reduced by improving the energy efficiency of energy-consuming equipment, strengthening operation and maintenance management, and using renewable energy. Embedded carbon emissions, on the other hand, refer to the total greenhouse gas emissions related to materials and construction processes throughout the building's entire lifespan. Carbon reduction can be achieved through the selection of low-carbon materials and optimized design schemes (such as promoting low-carbon concrete and adopting prefabricated construction). However, existing calculation methods fail to clearly distinguish between these two types of carbon emissions, hindering the development of precise carbon reduction strategies.

[0005] (2) The definition of carbon emissions during the usage phase is unclear. Throughout a building's entire lifespan, two distinct types of carbon emissions exist. One is operational carbon, generated from energy and water consumption; the other is latent carbon, resulting from normal building use, maintenance, repairs, equipment replacement, and renovations. The current methods do not differentiate between these two, hindering the advancement of building energy conservation efforts.

[0006] (3) There are omissions in the calculation content. Existing calculation methods for carbon emissions mainly focus on carbon emissions from heating, ventilation, air conditioning, hot water, lighting, and elevators, while neglecting operational carbon emissions from tap water, electrical equipment, escalators, and cooking, as well as implicit carbon emissions caused by building use, maintenance, repair, equipment replacement, and building renovation. The calculation methods have significant gaps.

[0007] (4) Insufficient calculation accuracy Existing calculation methods are rather crude in constructing carbon emission calculation models, lacking refined calculation models. At the same time, the carbon offset mechanisms in operating carbon and implicit carbon have not been fully quantified, resulting in calculation accuracy that cannot meet practical needs.

[0008] (5) Some dynamic calculation data is missing. When calculating the carbon emissions of energy storage systems, existing calculation methods lack hourly dynamic calculation means, especially the calculation of hourly carbon emission factors. This leads to the unreasonable phenomenon that the carbon emissions of energy storage systems are higher than those of non-energy storage systems.

[0009] Therefore, this invention proposes a method for calculating carbon emissions throughout the building's life cycle based on operational carbon and occult carbon to address the aforementioned problems. Summary of the Invention

[0010] This invention addresses the shortcomings of existing technologies by developing a method for calculating carbon emissions throughout the entire life cycle of a building based on operational carbon and implicit carbon. The invention constructs a three-level calculation index system that includes total indicators, intensity indicators, and relative indicators to calculate multi-dimensional and comprehensive carbon emission index data throughout the building's life cycle, which can help optimize the design of zero-carbon buildings and green buildings.

For the two carbon emission calculation models, calculate the operating carbon emissions of each system, specifically for the HVAC system, hot water system, lighting and electrical equipment system, elevator system, and cooking system, and quantify their operating carbon emissions respectively. S5. For the two carbon emission calculation models, calculate the implicit carbon emissions of the whole life cycle in stages. The whole life cycle is divided into the building material production stage, building material transportation stage, building construction stage, building use stage and building demolition stage. S6. Perform carbon offset calculations for the two carbon emission calculation models respectively, specifically calculating the operational carbon offset caused by renewable energy and the implicit carbon offset caused by green building materials. S7. Calculate the total carbon emission index and intensity index of the two carbon emission models, and calculate the relative index based on the total carbon emission index and intensity index of the two carbon emission models. S8. Analyze the calculation results, compare the total carbon emission index and intensity index of the two carbon emission models, and determine whether the carbon emission calculation model of the designed building meets the design requirements based on whether the relative index meets the standards.

Construct a three-tiered indicator system, namely total indicators, intensity indicators, and relative indicators; S4. For the two carbon emission calculation models, calculate the operating carbon emissions of each system, specifically for the HVAC system, hot water system, lighting and electrical equipment system, elevator system, and cooking system, and quantify their operating carbon emissions respectively.

The thermal performance of the building envelope is input layer by layer according to the building design documents or building standard settings. The carbon emission calculation models of the design building and the benchmark building are constructed respectively. The building envelope includes walls, roof, ground, and floors; the walls specifically refer to the exterior walls and include exterior windows; the roof includes the light-transmitting portion of the roof. S1.1 Establish a carbon emission calculation model for a benchmark building: The benchmark building is a hypothetical building set up in accordance with the national mandatory engineering construction standard GB55015-2021 "General Specification for Building Energy Conservation and Renewable Energy Application". It provides a reference standard for building energy consumption assessment. The benchmark building is assessed based on traditional energy use and does not consider the application of renewable energy. When comparing the thermal performance of the building envelope, it is used as a hypothetical building for calculating the annual heating and air conditioning energy consumption. Its shape, size, orientation, internal space division and use function are completely consistent with the designed building. Regarding the building envelope of the benchmark building, the thermal performance of the building envelope shall be determined in accordance with the mandatory engineering construction code. The type of cold source, heat source, and terminal form for air conditioning and heating in the benchmark building is determined based on the building type, which includes residential buildings, office buildings, hotel buildings, school buildings, shopping mall buildings, and hospital buildings, etc. The energy efficiency of benchmark building air conditioning and heating units is determined according to mandatory engineering construction standards. The benchmark building uses a centralized fresh air HVAC system. Whether to install an exhaust heat recovery device is determined based on the pre-set total fresh air volume for the entire building. When the total fresh air volume is less than the pre-set value, no exhaust heat recovery device is installed; when the total fresh air volume is greater than or equal to the pre-set value, an exhaust heat recovery device is installed. Specifically, exhaust heat recovery devices are installed at 40% of the total fresh air volume, and the efficiency of the exhaust heat recovery device is determined. The type of exhaust heat recovery device is determined based on heating and air conditioning requirements. For year-round air-conditioned heating areas, a total heat recovery type is used; for winter air-conditioned heating areas, a sensible heat recovery type is used. Determine the domestic hot water system water consumption and heat source form of the benchmark building. The domestic hot water system water consumption of the benchmark building is consistent with that of the designed building. Different benchmark buildings adopt different domestic hot water system heat source forms. For residential buildings, user-type gas water heaters with a thermal efficiency of 89% are used, and for public buildings, gas boilers with a thermal efficiency of 92% are used. The cooking energy form of the benchmark building is determined. The cooking energy form of the benchmark building is consistent with that of the designed building. The thermal efficiency of the cooking stove is determined according to the national standard limit. Determine the elevator system type, number of units, design speed, and rated passenger capacity of the reference building, as well as the energy consumption of the vertical elevators during standby and operation. The elevator system type, number of units, design speed, and rated passenger capacity of the reference building are consistent with those of the design building. The energy consumption of the vertical elevators during standby is 200W, and the energy consumption during operation is 1.26mWh / (kg·m). S1.2 Establish a carbon emission calculation model for the designed building: The building envelope is determined based on the building design documents. The building envelope includes the building's shape, size, orientation, internal space division and function, building structural dimensions, building envelope heat transfer coefficient, construction methods, solar thermal coefficient of exterior windows, window-to-wall area ratio, and roof window area.
