  • Abstract
    Materials of building construction have significant environmental impacts in terms of energy consumption and CO2 emissions. This paper discusses environmental burdens of reinforced concrete structure, wood structure and steel structure in Taiwan from the construction phase and the material recovery phase. The outcomes show that wood structure has highly environmentally friendly potential than that reinforced concrete and steel structures.
