Reducing the total life cycle energy demand of recent residential buildings in Lebanon

Energy, 2014, vol. 74, issue C, 618-637

Abstract: Buildings require a substantive amount of energy for their operation. Recent studies have found that indirect requirements, such as the embodied energy associated with their construction and the transport-related energy of their users can be even more significant. A complete life cycle energy analysis of buildings in a Mediterranean context has seldom been undertaken.
