Energy sources affect CO2 emissions associated with embodied-energy. If the majority of energy sources is
petroleum-related (with some gas and electricity), 80 kg CO2 per GJ of energy averages. The building here
is associated with emissions of c. 11.5 thousand tonnes CO2.
Embodied-energy ratio to gross floor area (GJ/m2 GFA) is generally between 6 and 8, but may be more
depending on methodology used. The design’s ratio is at the high end (@ 14.2 GJ/m2 GFA) but differs
from others since using solar-panels having high embodied-energy will significantly offset operationalenergy
saved over building-life. High embodied-energy materials used (e.g. aluminium and steel) are
however easily recycleable and therefore halving their embodied-energy when reused. Replacing concrete
floors with composite timber-floors casettes will reduce embodied-energy by c. 10,000 GJ.
