This study examines the global warming potential and life cycle associated with the carbon emissions of the envelopes of a net-zero energy building located in a warm climate. A simplified life cycle assessment calculation tool developed by the International Energy Agency, IEA/SHC Task 70, was applied as a method, covering the material production phase through to the end of the cycle. The results showed that steel and concrete account for the majority of embodied carbon, while this type of building could emit less than one-sixth of the carbon compared to a conventional office building.
