One of the major uses for energy is building construction and operation, including both operating energy and energy embodied in the physical structure. Embodied energy is an assessment that includes the energy required to extract raw materials from nature, plus theenergyy used in primary and secondary manufacturing activities to provide a finished product. As the operating energy required for buildings declines, the embodied energy they represent becomes a more significant percentages of the total energy. This article discusses reducing embodied energy of buildings.
