In the modern times, due to urbanization, there is a rising demand for energy intensive activities around the globe. Construction Industry itself is accountable for approximately 36% of the total energy consumption. This calls for serious attempts to check, limit and reduce the indiscriminate energy consumption in Construction Projects. Achieving Energy Efficiency in Construction is one of the core concerns around the world. Construction Projects consume energy on a massive scale during Construction as well as Operation Phases in the various construction activities like transportation, manufacturing, labor and machinery. This Energy is termed as Embodied Energy and is a major contributing factor to release of CO2 emissions ultimately leading to Global Climate Change. As Construction Industry has been wholly reliant on Fossil Fuel Consumption with extremely limited possibilities for the use of Renewable Energies, there is a pressing need to understand the sources of energy consumption, identify the types of energy and try to limit or possibly reduce the consumption of the same at various levels of projects. This paper presents a method to quantify the Embodied Energy Content in four major Building Activities like Concreting, CLC Blockwork, Plastering, and Reinforcement Steel. Another goal of this study is to signify the impact and effect of Embodied Energy on the energy efficiency of a Building Construction Project.

Energy Consumption, Construction, Embodied Energy.
