Reduction of embodied CO2 emissions from conventional single storey house in malaysia by recycled materials using building information modeling (BIM)

The materials are the basic elements in any type of construction activity. The construction sector consumes a handsome amount of construction materials while completing any construction project and ultimately not only depleting the natural resources but also increasing the content contribution of CO...
