The carbon dioxide emissions of China have been high for a long time. According to the CO₂ Emissions from Fuel Combustion Highlights 2010 Edition, as to 2008, total carbon dioxide emissions of China have surpassed the U.S. Building products is an important part of the national economy and construction industry is charged with the main task of the infrastructure in China. Construction activities is the production process which makes the significant investment into building products, not only consume a lot of resources and energy, but also generated a lot of waste and a tremendous impact on the environment. Based on some relevant research results of other scholars, this paper uses the life cycle theory and analyzes the carbon dioxide emissions in the various stages of the construction project life cycle, and then establishes an assessment system to estimate of carbon dioxide emissions which based on the construction project life cycle. And through the study of a specific case, the paper accounted the carbon dioxide emissions of the specific construction project. The result of it shows there 4 main ways to reduce carbon dioxide emissions.
