If we add these issues to the exploitation of sand and stone, to the use of iron for the rebar, to its transport to the construction site to be added to the mix, we can understand the impact of each decision of a project on the environment. Other construction materials, such as...
How to use theEmbodied Energy ebookin the classroom:Thisebookis a well designed book that will introduce students to the energy that we don’t see in the objects around us. Thispdfcan be projected for a whole class, downloaded on individual student devices or, if you must, printed out. U...
The quantity of construction material used in each station was calculated, while the carbon footprint intensity and embodied energy intensity were determined by means of the Inventory of Carbon & Energy (ICE) carbon and embodied energy calculator.Calculations of embodied energy of structural systems ...
Introduction to GWPbio, a dynamic approach to modelling biogenic carbon that accounts for factors such as forest rotation period and product carbon storage period. Presentation of preliminary calculations using the newly released Biogenic Carbon Footprints Calculator for Harvested Wood Products by WWF and...

We are also reducing the amount of carbon associated with the construction materials of our new buildings by at least 30 percent enabled by a new online tool called the Embodied Carbon in Construction Calculator (EC3). Combined with our smart building technology, Microsoft will be among the ...

Considering the nearly zero energy building (nZEB) and the increased measures for the improvement of the energy efficiency, the international literature indicates an extended use of specialized materials and technical installations. An increase in the embodied energy follows that use, with a final share...
We have improved operational energy efficiencies and made progress towards the widespread electrification of buildings. AND we can do even more to offset embodied carbon, which encompasses the greenhouse gas emissions associated with materials over the full life cycle of buildings. WHAT IS EMBODIED ...
