Abstract |
|
Embodied energy refers to the total amount of energy used in production of a material and this helps in choice of materials and construction techniques, to maximize the energy efficiency of a building during its operation. The embodied energy in products and energy conservation are the environmental characteristics included in eco-labelling schemes. Embodied energy in buildings and their constituent materials and components can be used as an important criterion in green building rating systems. This paper explores the impact of different building materials on the embodied energy of the building structure. |
