Abstract

The chapter delves into the application of life cycle assessment (LCA) as a powerful tool for decarbonizing the built environment. It highlights key factors influencing a building's life cycle, such as transport and material manufacture, and introduces strategies for reducing both embodied and operational carbon emissions. These strategies, integrated at various stages from concept design to operation, are illustrated through case studies of green buildings in India. The chapter emphasizes the significance of embodied emissions in carbon reduction efforts and discusses how rating systems address these strategies, offering a unique perspective on sustainable building practices.
