This paper discusses the complex subject of embodied energy in the contemporary construction industry. The importance of embodied energy is shown in the global environmental context. The ecological relationship between embodied energy and operational energy is discussed. The history of embodied energy analyses is presented and modern computer solutions, which currently help in sustainable architecture design, are suggested.
