Abstract: Abstract Based on the life cycle assessment (LCA), this paper divides the whole life cycle of prefabricated buildings into the production and processing stage, transportation stage, on-site building stage, operation stage, and abandonment stage, and constructs the calculation formulas of carbon emissions. An empirical study was conducted with a prefabricated building in Nantong. By comparing carbon emissions of different components and stages, the whole life cycle carbon emissions of the prefabricated building are analyzed. The results contribute to filling the gap of prefabricated buildings in the field of carbon emissions, for promoting the development of the low-carbon construction industry.
