| Abstract | ||||
| As a result of climate change, significantly reducing carbon emissions during construction projects has become an urgent concern. As a result of its adoption as a strategic objective, low carbon building has the potential to significantly cut down on carbon emissions if the opposite is done. While many studies have been conducted, few describe the knowledge road map for low carbon building research that is necessary to guide academics and industry professionals. According to research by Sayigh (2014), the construction industry accounts for 40-50% of global energy consumption. More than half of the world's natural primary resources (approximately 3 billion tons per year) are used in construction, and traditional buildings produce one-third of Greenhouse gases; as a result, there is a persistent call for a more nuanced approach to environmental issues, particularly from architects, who are urged to explore design alternatives to modern buildings and usage of renewable and natural energy sources in development of green cities in in order to reduce their impact. | ||||
