Embodied Energy…
...the energy used in the work of making a product. It is an accounting methodology which aims to find the sum total of the energy necessary for an entire product lifecycle: extraction, transport, installation, etc.
Expressed as mega joules of energy needed to make a kilogram of product: Mj/kg

Embodied Energy
A brick is not just a brick. It also represents….
8.4 Mj per brick of embodied energyin the UK -- as determined by the Inventory of Carbon & Energy (ICE) of the University of Bath website (https://wiki.bath.ac.uk).

REDUCE Total Material Amounts
Design for minimum response in terms of materials consumed. Put simply – use the least (but still acceptable) amount of materials in order to ensure the least cost and damage to the community and environment.
Choose materials with lower embodied energy Buy materials with least inherent waste in their
use Train workers/ artisans to minimize waste during
construction

Overall Resource Efficiency
Include environmental factors when conducting benefit-cost analyses for material selection and procurement options.
Design to use fewer materials (and those with lower embodied energy).
Use local sources – where this can be done in a sustainable way.
Use materials with recycled content (e.g., fly ash)
Consider disaster debris as a construction material
Support only sustainable or legal sourcing of materials (e.g., use of legal timber).
Train workers/ artisans to minimize waste during construction
Environmentally-aware planners consider:
