Identification & Suggestion of Energy Efficient Alternative for Selected Building Materials

Abstract

The total life cycle analysis can be divided as Operational Energy and Embodied Energy in case of the construction industry. The operational energy which is necessary for the whole life of the building starting from its genesis to ravage which includes energy required for heating and cooling are which is constructed already, processing of instruments, heat water and light rooms. The embodied energy can be explained as which enswathe and sustain the construction sites, for example, with a concrete panel, the energy need to manufacture cement, sand, aggregates, transport them to the site, mix them in a appropriate proportion, casing of them in a particular thickness. The energy required to ruin and recycle it can be taken in to account for best practice. Embodied energy is the addition of all the energy required to make a material from its manufacture to shipping. Embodied energy is comprises of the energy required for processing and manufacturing, transport, maintenance and demolition but it is very hard to calculate the energy required for the maintenance, demolition and transportation so because of this while calculating the embodied energy for the materials many researcher considered only processing and manufacturing energy.
