Abstract

In the state of Himachal Pradesh, Housing and Urban Development Authority is responsible for providing mass housing and has developed prototypic housing colonies using standard house designs at various locations in the state. This paper analyses the most common design of High-Income House, which has been used to develop mass housing at the case study location in District Hamirpur for its Life Cycle Energy and Life Cycle Cost. The study calculates the embodied energy of existing houses using material specifications, operational energy, total Life Cycle Energy and their respective costs for the life span of 50 years using Himachal Pradesh Schedule of Rates /market survey and Rs. 4.7/kWh (in INR) as operational energy cost. The study further identifies and compares the embodied energy, operational energy, Life Cycle Energy, and Life Cycle Cost of three other alternatives developed in the same plot area but with varying plot sizes and design characteristics such as house type, room sizes, built-up area, exposed surface area, volume, compactness ratio, exposed walls area, window area and Window to Wall Ratio (WWR) and finally, the impact of each factor on embodied, operational and Life Cycle Energy and their respective costs is determined.
