Abstract

Construction industry adds more than 35 percent of global emissions through the entire lifecycle procedure of the structure. Every stage of construction process from raw material extraction to demolition is responsible for carbon emissions in the form of either embodied or operational carbon. Carbon emissions be reduced by implementing modernization and sustainability in building design typically with greater use of material resources such as recycled steel, recycled concrete using the circular economy concepts and automation tools. This study focuses on a case of a two-storey commercial structure located in Hyderabad, Telangana State in India to ascertain specifically the embodied carbon released during different stages of construction using standard empirical formulae. Enormous amounts of embodied carbon emissions were observed and an alternative approach of using sustainable materials such as Ferrock, recycled steel, etc. was proposed to mitigate the same. It is evident from the study that eco-friendly materials are the effective alternatives to promote carbon neutrality.
