Abstract

Achieving low carbon emissions in buildings is essential for managing global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Embodied energy from structures that is most directly related to the planning and development of the building. A process-based life cycle assessment of building materials can be utilised to investigate the embodied carbon energy emissions of buildings . The cited literatures provides an overview of the embodied energuy characteristics of the building materials and proposes appropriate optimization methods by incorporating the life cycle assessment perspective. The results of the reviews give us inference on various parameters so that local data emission variables are preferred for computing embodied energy and design estimates can be utilised to calculate the quantity of building materials used.
