A Review of Embodied Energy Strategies to reduce the carbon emissions in Sustainable Buildings
Abstract: Buildings in India account for almost one-fifth of the nation's carbon emissions, making it the third- largest carbon emitter globally. These emissions are expected to climb by 50% over the next 20 years, which is the biggest increase of any nation.
