Abstract: In Building construction, the requirement of energy is large. It is in various forms. Materials which are required for construction, there manufacturing, transportation, actual use in construction and after construction, large amount of energy utilized. That form of energy is called as Embodied Energy. Secondly, there is good trend to use various green building materials in building construction. It will definitely helpful to make our building as Green Building. Production of Green material generally involves these types of material which are conventional, recyclable, waste products. Researchers are always trying to produce new building material, keeping various mix proportions, various conventional and non conventional in gradients and taking all appropriate tests on them and conclude that this material suitable for construction work. But no one is tried to calculate their embodied energy along with all tests. So this paper is focused on Embodied Energy Calculations of various Building materials which given by various researchers along with their research paper.
Keywords: Materials, Green Building, Embodied Energy, Mix Proportions.
