Low Carbon Building Design: Approaches, Embodied Energy and Carbon Calculation, and Comparison with Original Model

This document discusses the approaches applied in selecting construction materials to minimize embodied energy and carbon of a redesigned home, as well as the embodied energy and carbon calculation of selected materials. It also provides a comparison of energy consumption and carbon emission between the original and redesigned models. Additionally, it identifies design parameters to consider if the building is located in a hot climate region.
