Abstract

The creation of a sustainable built environment is related not only to energy-efficient construction but also to the efficient use of materials, in order to minimise environmental impacts and avoid further depletion of natural resources. However, “passive” or “zero-energy” buildings, which optimise operational energy, require additional materials (e.g. insulation) or the installation of technologies (e.g. mechanical ventilation) which further increase the embodied energy of the building and related environmental emissions.
