Buildings consume a vast amount of energy during the life cycle stages of construction, use
and demolition. Total life cycle energy use in a building consists of two components …

With the world's uncertain energy outlook, buildings should be designed and constructed to
use lesser fossil fuel-based energy and have lower environmental impacts. In the past …

Extended abstract In the Climate Change Act of 2008 the UK Government pledged to reduce
carbon emissions by 80% by 2050. As one step towards this, regulations are being …

Approximately half of the annual global energy supply is consumed in constructing,
operating, and maintaining buildings. Because most of this energy comes from fossil fuels, it …

The building construction industry consumes a large amount of resources and energy and,
owing to current global population growth trends, this situation is projected to deteriorate in …

As the operational energy use in new constructions is moving towards nearly zero energy
buildings, the embodied energy of buildings is gaining more importance. This work …

This literature review addresses the Life Cycle Energy Analysis (LCEA) of residential
buildings. As the fluctuation in the choice of functional units, boundaries of the system, life …

The life cycle energy of a residential building consists of the embodied energy involved in
