| Abstract | Apart from energy sector, greenhouse gas (GHG) emission from the construction industry has become more significant especially indirect GHGs from carbon embedded in construction materials. This paper presents the evaluation of GHGs from construction materials in different residential buildings such as detached houses with different styles (contemporary, modern and Thai modern houses) and low-rise and high-rise condominiums in Bangkok. The concept of carbon footprint was applied in this study to evaluate how much GHG emitted from construction process. The activity data were extracted from floor plans and Bill of Quantities (BOQ) of 42 houses and 12 condominiums. The GHG emissions in the unit of kgCO2 e/m2 were calculated in the scope of cradle to gate, following Thai national guideline for carbon footprint of product and Thai national life cycle inventory database (TGO, 2011). The high-rise condominium built from precast concrete emitted the highest GHGs (326.77 ? 22.01 kgCO2e/m2). While the Thai-modern house built from half wood-half concrete emitted the lowest GHGs (2.47 ? 36.37 kgCO2e/m2) due to the large carbon offset from wooden construction materials. |
