Abstract: |
According to our estimation which is based on the method of Chinese Wood Construction Buildings Association, the rammed earth construction emits 8.08 kg/m2 of CO2, compared with 37.79 kg/m2 of conventional wood house (4.7 times of the rammed earth construction), 57.42 kg/m2 of framed wood house (7.0 times), 108.4 kg/m2 of framed wood house (13.4 times), and 160.4 kg/m2 of reinforced concrete house (19.8 times). This result is encouraging when facing the pressure on energy and environment.
