Abstract

This paper presents a provisional pathway for carbon assessment in India, essential for realising net-zero carbon building standards in regions with limited data. It amalgamates various data sources to compute embodied carbon, and utilises dynamic simulation for assessing operational carbon. Importantly, this methodology lays the groundwork for the development of early-stage design tools, empowering architects and engineers to integrate sustainable decisions. The adoption of this framework holds significant potential for transforming the built environment, encouraging greener design practices and enhanced adherence to regulatory standards. This initiative is a crucial step towards environmentally responsible construction practices in India.
