Abstract

Energy generation by fossil fuel contributes to carbon emission to the atmosphere which is a major threat to global environment. Measuring energy consumption in building, accounting related carbon emission and selecting low embodied energy (EE) material by performing life-cycle analysis gives a clear idea about EE of the building and highlights mitigation potential. The review presented in the paper identifies the role of buildings in global carbon emission and solutions to reduce it with appropriate low EE material. This review helps in developing an insight for building's role in carbon emission and ways to develop carbon minus buildings. Copyright , Oxford University Press.
