Embodied energy modelling of individual commercial buildings

单个商业建筑的能耗模拟。这项研究将开发一种方法来模拟单个商业建筑结构中所包含的能量。建筑材料制造排放在大多数行业中是众所周知的，但建筑供应链的总隐含能量很难为单个建筑建模。对于高效的商业建筑，隐含能量可以代表长达40年的运营能量。研究结果将用于制定具有成本效益的策略，以优化单个商业建筑的总生命周期能源。这将在一定程度上改善澳大利亚建筑业的环境绩效。

Embodied energy modelling of individual commercial buildings. This research will develop a method for modelling the energy embodied in individual commercial building construction. Construction material manufacturing emissions are well known in most industries, but the total embodied energy of the construction supply chain is difficult to model for individual buildings. For efficient commercial buildings, the embodied energy can represent up to 40 years of operational energy. The results will be used to develop cost effective strategies for optimising the total life cycle energy of individual commercial buildings. This will in part improve the environmental performance of the Australian construction industry.
