GCCA India presents a report on the Comparative Evaluation of Embodied Carbon of High-Rise and Low-Rise buildings in India

We are pleased to share the Comparative Evaluation of Embodied Carbon of High-Rise and Low-Rise buildings in India, developed in collaboration with the Low Carbon Construct Forum.

This report highlights the significance of addressing embodied carbon in India’s building sector, which contributes significantly to the country’s overall emissions. With India’s commitment to achieving net-zero emissions by 2070, the findings offer actionable insights on material selection, concrete mixes, and strategies for reducing embodied carbon emissions in the built environment.

The report evaluates India-specific materials and construction techniques to tackle the challenges associated with embodied carbon, providing insights on reducing CO₂ emissions from stages A1 to A5 (in the life cycle of a building) across high-rise and low-rise buildings.

It serves as a practical guide for builders, architects, and engineers, offering a comprehensive analysis for designing and constructing low-carbon buildings.
