This study focuses on prefabricated modules as a way to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions. This study aims to analyze the superiority of modular housing performance by analyzing environmental performance and carbon emissions. First, modular dry concrete construction shows better environmental performance than conventional wet construction methods. On average, modular construction contributes to the carbon neutrality goal by reducing wall thickness and carbon emissions by more than 50% compared to conventional concrete buildings. Second, the importance of material selection and proper material combination is emphasized. Third, 'unit box type' and 'panelizing type' improve efficiency, which reduces construction time by 50% and 30%, respectively. On the other hand, 'infill type' is suitable for medium-rise buildings but it faces transportation problems. Finally, modular walls have more than 50% lower carbon emissions than concrete walls. In order to increase the sustainability of modular architecture, it is essential to establish standards for energy efficiency, carbon reduction, resource recycling, and air quality. Integration with Building Information Modeling (BIM) improves the design process and optimizes the performance.
