Abstract

The chapter delves into the crucial shift from operational to embodied carbon in building design, highlighting the significant impact of structural and enclosure materials on environmental footprint. It introduces guidelines for low-carbon strategies, focusing on structural materials, envelope materials, and systems. The text explores various iterations, such as using agro-waste and industrial waste in concrete mixes, bamboo reinforcement, and recycled steel, quantifying their impact on embodied and operational carbon. Through detailed case studies and comparative analyses, the chapter offers valuable insights into carbon-conscious design and decarbonization strategies, making it a must-read for professionals aiming to reduce the environmental impact of buildings.
