Previous analyses of energy across the various life cycle stages of a building have shown
the significance of both the energy required for building operation as well as energy …

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 …

Despite the increasing significance of embodied impacts of buildings, efforts to reduce their
environmental footprints have been concentrated on the operational impacts of buildings …

Energy use and related greenhouse gas emissions of buildings have a significant effect on
the environment. To reduce energy consumption in buildings, it is important to understand …

For decades, increasing regulatory requirements on the energy performance of buildings
have taken the building design to ever more technologically complex levels. A life cycle …

Buildings contribute significantly to the environmental challenges we currently face, and
fossil-fuel-based energy continues to be a major area of concern. The present work provides …

As the operational energy use in new constructions is moving towards nearly zero energy
