Abstract

The chapter 'The Potential of Carbon Assessments for Buildings' delves into the significant role of the building sector in global carbon emissions and the urgent need for decarbonization. It discusses the current regulatory framework in India, such as the National Building Code and the Energy Conservation Building Code, which primarily address operational carbon. The chapter emphasizes the overlooked issue of embodied carbon emissions, which account for a substantial portion of a building's total carbon footprint. It presents various strategies to reduce embodied carbon, including building less, reusing materials, and substituting low-carbon materials. The chapter also explores the potential of green building rating systems and the need for standardized tools and methodologies for carbon assessment. It highlights the challenges and future directions for decarbonizing the building sector in India, offering a comprehensive roadmap for stakeholders to achieve net-zero carbon targets.
