This book also critically explores the important topic of embodied and operational carbon of buildings with insights on the strategies to measure and reduce embodied carbon in buildings through a case study and application approach. This approach assesses the impact of embodied carbon on the choice of structural systems, alternate building materials, alternate building technologies and air conditioning system. The impact of these alternate measures in reducing embodied and operational carbon is analyzed by demonstrating its use on a base case building, which is similar to an existing office building in India. The quantified data enables architects and designers to make early design decisions for a more environmentally sensitive approache to sustainable building designs. This book is a valuable resource for students, researchers, and practicing architects in understanding evidence based repercussions of structural systems, use of materials, technology and air conditioning systems to design green and sustainable buildings. 410 0$aSpringerBriefs in Architectural Design and Technology,$x2199-5818 606 $aSustainable architecture 606 $aBuilding materials 606 $aBuildings$xEnvironmental engineering 606 $aSustainability 606 $aSustainable Architecture/Green Buildings 606 $aStructural Materials 606 $aBuilding Physics, HVAC 606 $aSustainability 615 0$aSustainable architecture. 615 0$aBuilding materials. 615 0$aBuildings$xEnvironmental engineering. 615 0$aSustainability. 615 14$aSustainable Architecture/Green Buildings. 615 24$aStructural Materials. 615 24$aBuilding Physics, HVAC. 615 24$aSustainability. 676 $a720.47 676 $a696 700 $aMohan$b Shveta$01781577 701 $aJ$b Vijayalaxmi$01347256 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910919812703321 996 $aEmbodied and Operational Carbon in Buildings$94306425 997 $aUNINA
