Abstract
Results for the test case India showed that LCE of decent housing can significantly vary depending on climatic conditions, building typology, construction materials, technical equipment for space cooling-dehumidification and user behaviour. Embodied energy accounts for 27-53% of the LCE, depending on the building type and climate. LCE savings of up to 44% can be achieved with low embodied energy materials, building envelope insulation, ceiling fans and more efficient air-conditioning systems.
