... specific data for the energy from the manufacture of specific materials was obtained from the latest available SimaPro Australian database (Grant, 2002). The calculation of the energy embodied in the two structural systems for the case study building was based on the embodied energy intensities from Table 2, which includes the energy from fossil fuel consumption. These intensities were calculated using the input-output-based hybrid method, combining available process data for the specific materials, with I-O data. ...
