碩士 === 國立成功大學 === 建築學系 === 104 === With the rise of the environmental awareness, the concept of carbon reduction and green building have flourished in recent years. This paper sets on studying how design affects the use of structures materials and CO2 emissions, in the case of reinforced concrete low-rise public building. Some suggestions of CO2 reduction methods were also proposed to help designers making decision during the design procedure. In this paper, 19 models were built and analyzed by ETABS. Then the material usage and CO2 emission were calculated, while the key factors affecting the CO2 emission in these models were discussed. The results show that cases with discontinuous beam increase their CO2 emission significantly, but only slightly in the case of oblique beams and deviate beams. In cantilever cases, with shorter length and symmetrical locations of the cantilevered area, the CO2 emission per unit floor area has decreased instead.
