Energy cost of building construction
AbstractThe energy cost for the construction of new buildings is about 1.3 MBtu/ft2 so the total U.S. annual energy cost of constructing new buildings is 5.1 quads, or one fifth the annual energy required to operate the existing stock of buildings, including residences. This analysis is based on broad SIC category analysis, and gaps exist in the knowledge. On an annual basis, steel in building construction represents 0.85 quad (16%), concrete only 0.05 quad (1%), and aluminum only 0.01 quad (0.25%).
