Abstract

Abstract: The greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions into the atmosphere contributes to global climate change, drawing concerns from scientists and governments worldwide. With the introduction of the fourth industrial revolution, the digitalization in the construction method has also been enabled with the advancement of the 3D printing technology. This paper discusses the roles of 3D printing for building and construction in achieving net zero in GHG emissions in the production phase and operational stage of a 3D printed building. The solutions that the 3D printing for building and construction technology provide towards reducing GHG emissions is proposed and described.
