What is Case Study and Comparison of Embodied Carbon and Construction Cost by Adopting Alternative Timber-Based Hybrid Structure System about?

This study evaluates the environmental and cost impacts of using timber and steel in high-rise residential buildings in New Taipei City, Taiwan, aiming to reduce carbon emissions. By replacing traditional reinforced concrete with hybrid timber-steel structures, the research found a 25.6% reduction in embodied carbon, although construction costs increased by 3.9 times. The findings highlight the potential of hybrid timber systems as a sustainable alternative in construction, particularly in high-seismic zone
