Abstract: Abstract In the context of the “carbon peak and carbon neutral” goal, promoting energy carbon emission reduction in the construction industry has become an urgent problem. However, there are few studies on energy carbon emissions in the construction industry, especially the impact of technological progress as an essential productivity factor on energy carbon emissions is unclear. This paper measures the carbon emission rebound effect of the construction industry based on technological progress from 2002 to 2019 with the DEA-Malmquist index method to measure the total factor productivity. The results show that the rebound effect from 2002 to 2019 is a partial rebound phenomenon, and the effect from 2014 to 2019 is more evident than before. Therefore, it indicates that the rebound phenomenon of carbon emissions in the construction industry should be paid attention to, and there is still much room for improvement in the emission reduction work. Because of this, reasonable carbon emission reduction policies should be formulated to reduce the rebound effect of technological progress on energy carbon emissions in the construction industry.
