Abstract

The pre-operational embodied water of an upcoming multi-storied residential complex in Gurgaon, India was quantified at 24.0705 kl/m2 of floor area by computing the water embedded in materials of construction and water used during construction. This translated to 66.21% of the operational water of the complex considering a 50 year life cycle.
