The term Embodied Energy or Embodied Carbon refers to the sum impact of all greenhouse gas emissions attributed to a material during its life cycle. This cycle encompasses extraction, manufacturing, construction, maintenance, and disposal. For example, reinforced concrete is a material with ex...

New Construction In-Use Refurbishment and Fit-Out Across these categories, BREEAM assessors apply tailored rating systems to evaluate the green credentials of buildings at different stages in the lifecycle, recognising success from the design-stage of new-build projects, through to the renovation and ...
Tingguo Zhang 张廷国 argues that “the unification of fact and value within ‘process’ is where Whitehead fits in with Chinese Daoism in the construction of cosmology” (Zhang and Dan 2008). Whitehead’s view of the generative process as a subject echoes the connotations of Zhuangzi’s On ...
an impact that are relevant in ESG discussions. One that garners a lot of attention is the emissions (both operational and embodied) that come from buildings. There is a focus on driving down greenhouse gas emissions from construction and renovation and a building’s lifetime operational ...
making sure the steel being used comes from a low-carbon supply chain and is highly recyclable—pays off over the lifetime of the building.Architects and engineersshould also specify low-carbon construction materials in the proposal, specifying materials that require less water, energy, toxic chemic...
Green building is a resource-efficient construction and development approach that considers environmental impact and human health. In green building projects,sustainabilityis incorporated throughout the building’s lifecycle, from planning to demolition. ...
They were limited to construction and transport units that built the roads and landing strips that took white troops to theater of engagement. Sixty percent of the troops that built the 1,100-mile Ledo Road linking India and China were African Americans, as were one-third of those who built...
they are expanding; they are “nearer to nature,” in the sense that they have eaten up nature mile by mile. The only objection is the objection of fact. The young men of Brixton are not young giants. The lovers of Surbiton are not all pagan poets, singing with the sweet energy of ...
Decisions made by architects in the present can influence the global energy, economic and ecological scene for up to a century. Of the annual gross energy consumption 40–50%—and the corresponding emissions—are related to the construction, operation and maintenance of buildings in Europe. The ...
