Study of embodied energy in healthcare center construction

Study of embodied energy in healthcare center construction

The tendency to build Net-Zero Energy Buildings increases the need to know and control the energy used in them. This research aims to identify and quantify the energy used in the construction of healthcare centres and propose indicators based on different operational variables. For this purpose, sev...
