مسکن مناسب در کشورهای در حال توسعه: کاهش نیازهای انرژی چرخه زندگی

Results for the test case India showed that LCE of decent housing can significantly vary depending on climatic conditions, building typology, construction materials, technical equipment for space cooling-dehumidification and user behaviour. Embodied energy accounts for 27–53% of the LCE, depending on the building type and climate. LCE savings of up to 44% can be achieved with low embodied energy materials, building envelope insulation, ceiling fans and more efficient air-conditioning systems.
