This review evaluates Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) methodologies for 3D concrete printed (3DCP) buildings and their alignment with the revised Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD), which requires whole-life Global Warming Potenti…

M. Uddin, Md. Samsuzzaman Sobuz, Mohamed Ghalla +5

This study developed a hybrid machine learning model (XGB-HistGB) to predict compressive strength, cost, and CO2 emissions of biochar-incorporated concrete. Using a dataset of nine input parameters, the model achieved high accuracy (R2=0.95…

Gunturu Sai Pragna, L. Prasanna, Nayab Mahaboob Subhani

This paper investigates the use of supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) such as silica fume, metakaolin, and fly ash as partial replacements for cement in concrete to reduce environmental impact and improve performance. The optimized…

Umunna, Chetachi C., Okoroafor, Humphery K.

This paper critically examines architecture's dual role in climate change—as a major emitter and a mitigation tool. It reviews global case studies, advocates for a shift from extractive to regenerative practices, and proposes a framework in…

A. Windapo, Darmarajan Chinasamy, K. Alade

This paper reviews 18 peer-reviewed publications on regenerative construction (2020-2025), identifies benefits (whole-life asset value, cost reduction, circular economy, ecological restoration, embodied carbon reduction) and limitations (hi…

Chaitali Trivedi, M. Pathak, S. Dhar

This study evaluates decarbonization strategies for embodied carbon from cement and steel in residential buildings in Ahmedabad, India, using the IPCC AR6 framework and AIM/End-use model. Results show that energy efficiency and clean techno…

This paper examines geopolymer concrete (GPC) as a sustainable, low-carbon alternative to Portland cement. It discusses GPC's materials (fly ash, slag), durability, applications, and challenges such as cost and availability, along with futu…

Jiaran Liu, Yuheng Huang

This study proposes GBMP-LCA, a gradient boosting–based framework for performance prediction and life-cycle optimization of green building materials. It applies LightGBM to multi-source features including material composition, durability, a…

Dilba Rayaru Kandiyil, M. Sadique, Denise Lee +2

This study proposes a hybrid ML-LCA framework to estimate cement embodied carbon using only publicly available macroeconomic data, predicting clinker-to-cement ratio from GDP per capita and other indicators. The Gradient Boosting model is i…

Matej Plenča, S. Aksentijević, Alen Jugović +1

This paper assesses the feasibility of integrating hydrogen refueling infrastructure into passenger ports, using the Port of Split as a case study. It models a hydrogen station for the Split-Supetar ferry route that could eliminate over 250…

P. Janaki, Ramal E. Anbalagan

This paper proposes a blockchain-enabled secure and interoperable digital twin framework for Industry 5.0 smart cities, integrating hybrid deep learning (GNN, LSTM, CNN) for real-time monitoring and optimization. Experimental results show 9…

Palaniappan Sambandam, Anand R, S Bairavel

This paper proposes blockchain-enabled spatial mining systems integrating GIS, IoT, and remote sensing to address inefficiencies and environmental damage in conventional mining. It improves traceability, reduces fraud, enables environmental…

John Mark S. Francisco, Jasmin Neri

This study assesses the readiness of TVET institutions in Davao del Norte, Philippines, for green transition using a self-assessment tool. Employer engagement scored highest, while financing emerged as a key challenge. Findings provide insi…

Jiajing Yu

This study examines how ESG performance affects corporate financing costs through the intermediary role of supply chain risk, using panel data of Chinese A-share listed firms in the cosmetics and consumer goods industry from 2018-2023. Fixe…

Feng Cao, Linfeng Li, Xueyan Zhang +1

This study examines the impact of China's 2012 Green Credit Guidelines (GCG) on corporate leverage manipulation. Using a difference-in-differences design, they find that GCG significantly inhibits leverage manipulation among high-polluting …

Munir Ahmad, Dr Riffut Jabeen, Badr Mohay Ul Din Bhutta +1

This study examines the relationships between CSR, green finance, business reputation, and business performance in the Pakistani banking industry. Using PLS-SEM on a sample of 200 bank managers, the results show that CSR and green finance p…
