Abstract: Building sector has grown as one of the major resource intensive sector. Consumption of resources is at a much rapid rate resulting in possibility of their becoming scarce and may even be their exhaustion. In the evaluation of sustainability of buildings, impact of resource consumption is required to be addressed along with the environmental impacts. Hence it is important to evaluate the scarcity potential of resources at national and local levels for buildings and develop sustainable models for resources that affect sustainability of building sector as a whole. In this paper a simple predictive model for sustainability of resources has been developed; correlating the rate of consumption of natural resources, future demand, and available reserves of resource for building sector at regional level in Indian context. The model calculates the sustainability score of resource consumption for a residential building and emphasizes the need of incorporating sustainability measures, like use of industrial wastes and recycling and reuse of building demolition wastes, in the building sector.
