- Abstract
Air pollution and its damage have caused growth of concerns in human societies in the last decades. Nowadays, environmental issues are being discussed more than ever and sometimes it leads to solutions and methods to improve current situations. One of the methods is introduced in 2009 as Low-Carbon Building (LCB) Method. This method considers reduction of emissions in building during its whole lifetime. In this study, an educational building is designed with the purpose of considerable reduction in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. This building is investigated in different stages and eventually, the amount of carbon emissions in the building's lifetime is estimated by LCB Method 3.0 which is built on Publicly Available Specification (PAS) 2050. After estimation, it is determined that the project building, according to low-carbon buildings classification, can be ranked in Class C (good). This study also discusses effective strategies which lead to low-carbon buildings.
