Abstract:The control of CO2 emissions in the construction sector is essential to achieve the ‘Double Carbon’ target in China. China's carbon emissions in construction sector of operation have increased from 44 661.73 million tons in 1990 to 205 560.03 million tons in 2019, with an average annual growth rate of 12.01%. The potential of construction sector to contribute to the carbon emission reduction target can not be ignored. In this paper, after comparing and selecting BP neural network, LSTM network and PSO-LSTM model for carbon emission prediction, the trained PSO-LSTM model was used to predict the peak carbon emission of buildings under three scenarios of low carbon, baseline and high carbon, respectively. The results show that the peak building carbon emissions for the low-carbon, baseline and high-carbon scenarios are 226 774.56 million tons, 239 738.11 million tons and 253 379.47 million tons, respectively; and the peak time is 2029, 2032 and 2033, respectively. It can be seen that in the existing social development context, it is still difficult to achieve the carbon peak in the building sector by 2030, and corresponding low-carbon measures are needed to promote the achievement of the goal.
