Excerpt

The chapter begins by emphasizing the urgency of reducing carbon emissions in the buildings and construction sector to meet the Paris Agreement's 1.5°C target. It delves into the key differences between embodied and operational carbon emissions, explaining that while operational emissions can be reduced over a building's lifespan, embodied emissions must be addressed during the design and construction stages. The chapter also explores the methodologies for quantifying these emissions, such as Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), and discusses the variables that affect carbon emissions, including temporal differences, building elements, and physical characteristics. Additionally, it presents possible mitigation measures, such as reusing existing buildings, reducing unnecessary space, and employing efficient design strategies. The chapter concludes by stressing the importance of early design stage decisions in achieving significant carbon reductions and highlights the specific challenges and opportunities for countries like India in meeting their carbon reduction targets.
