Building and Environment, 1998•ElsevierThis paper provides a detailed examination of the energy and greenhouse emissions
associated with the on-site construction of a selection of alternative wood, steel and concrete
structural assemblies. The primary objective of the work is to ascertain the relative proportion
that the construction process represents of the total initial embodied energy and greenhouse
gas emissions and whether there are significant differences between the structural material
alternatives.
