Climate change is one of the biggest concerns of our time. Governments all over the world are formulating policies to reduce carbon emissions. For instance, China has promised carbon neutrality by 2060. Buildings account for around half of the country’s emissions and total energy consumption. Moreover, their impact on human lives has increased following COVID-19. Therefore, building performance optimization (BPO) is crucial to reduce their carbon footprint. BPO can be achieved by assessing the overall environmental impact of buildings throughout their life cycle, resulting from material production, construction, operation, and demolition. However, there is a lack of research from this perspective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
