Green Building Materials - moladi moladi - Green Building Materials Green Building Materials Embodied Enegrgy: " Embodied energy  is the sum of all the energy required to produce any goods" Refering to the above chart reflecting the energy required to produce a kilogram of raw material in MJ/kg - it is obvious that aluminium consumes the most energy during the production cycle wheras cement per kg is much lower.  The higher the energy cost the higher the cost of product - e.g. Sand to Glass or Bauxite to Aluminium - That is why  moladi   is the most cost effective way to build #green.
