    Database of Embodied Energy and Water Values For Materials

    Uploaded by

    Max Yanac Telleria
    This document provides a database of embodied energy and water values for various common building and construction materials. It includes the embodied energy and water coefficients, measured in gigajoules and kiloliters per unit respectively, for over 50 different materials including metals like aluminum and steel, ceramics, concrete, glass, insulation materials, paints, plastics, timber, and more. The database was compiled based on an energy and water input-output model and Australian process data to quantify the energy and water usage associated with producing each material.

    input-output model developed by Prof. Manfred Lenzen at the University of Sydney and

    Australian process data compiled by Grant (2002), using a Path Exchange Hybrid LCI approach.
