Abstract
Due to the rapid growth of construction activity there is a huge demand of building materials. A large quantity of construction materials are used which consume a huge amount of energy in their manufacturing process. The energy efficiency of an entire building can be gained by selecting low embodied energy materials. The zero-energy building is an ambitious yet increasingly achievable goal that is gaining importance across the world. In this paper, an attempt has been made to calculate the embodied energy values of various building blocks and to suggest a sustainable building block based on the comparison of their embodied energy and economic performance.
