Life cycle energy and carbon analysis of office buildings in India
Life cycle energy and carbon analysis of office buildings in India
Over the course of a building's existence, it releases a significant amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) into the atmosphere due to its production, construction, to demolition. To comply with the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCC 2019b, 2020) Paris Agreement's goal of restricting global temperature increase to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels by 2050.This paper presents a study that showcases the potential for reduction in embodied energy and CO2 emissions, specifically in the construction phase, through the selection of renewable building materials. According to research findings, it has been discovered that materials have the potential to significantly decrease embodied energy by as much as 55% and CO2 emissions by 43%. This research aims to establish indicators that can be used to evaluate the environmental performance of materials. This paper presents a case study of a commercial building in India that was constructed using conventional methods.

Abstract
Over the course of a building's existence, it releases a significant amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) into the atmosphere due to its production, construction, to demolition. To comply with the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCC 2019b, 2020) Paris Agreement's goal of restricting global temperature increase to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels by 2050.This paper presents a study that showcases the potential for reduction in embodied energy and CO2 emissions, specifically in the construction phase, through the selection of renewable building materials. According to research findings, it has been discovered that materials have the potential to significantly decrease embodied energy by as much as 55% and CO2 emissions by 43%. This research aims to establish indicators that can be used to evaluate the environmental performance of materials. This paper presents a case study of a commercial building in India that was constructed using conventional methods.
