How Much Is Needed? Discussion on Benchmarks for Primary Energy Input and Global Warming Potential Caused by Building Construction

open access: yesEnergies
The operational energy efficiency of new buildings in the EU should be at the level of ultra-low or near-zero energy buildings. It is therefore relatively difficult to achieve further energy savings.

Multi-Objective Optimization of a Building's Embodied Energy, Operational Energy, and Embodied Water [PDF]

open access: yes, 2023
Buildings account for approximately 40% of annual energy consumption and 16% of annual water withdrawals globally over their life cycle. Moreover, most building designs consider only the operational energy use of buildings during their life cycle ...

Embodied Energy Use in China’s Infrastructure Investment from 1992 to 2007: Calculation and Policy Implications

open access: yesThe Scientific World Journal, 2012
Infrastructure has become an important topic in a variety of areas of the policy debate, including energy saving and climate change. In this paper, we use an energy input-output model to evaluate the amounts of China’s embodied energy use in ...

Evaluation of Structures Design Concept of Lower Structure from Embodied Energy and Emissions

open access: yesChemical Engineering Transactions, 2014
Amount of material and energy sources and the associated environmental pollution is limited over the world. These issues lead to increasing interest in comparing the embodied energy and environmental impacts of buildings using different structure systems

Development of a methodology for life cycle building energy ratings

open access: yes, 2011
Traditionally the majority of building energy use has been linked to its operation (heating, cooling, lighting, etc.), and much attention has been directed to reduce this energy use through technical innovation, regulatory control and assessed through a ...
