Abstract
When sustainability is the driving force in the creation of a building, specifiers and architects need additional knowledge to assist them in making decisions about the choice of building materials and the way in which they are used, this paper mainly focuses on the strategies implemented in reduction of embodied energy. Buildings account for at least 39% of energy-related global carbon emissions on an annual basis in the process of extraction, manufacturing and transportation of materials. The estimated result of cost and energy is compared between conventional construction materials and suggested alternatives. Energy consumed in the production of basic building materials such as (cement, bricks, etc.) and different types of materials used for construction has been discussed.
