The spatial representation of resource consumption in the built environment offers potential benefits in the urban design and planning process. As a first step in developing such a tool, a pilot study has been undertaken to profile the energy consumption of selected urban areas which are representative of the city of Adelaide. The aim was to determine the feasibility of capturing the various components of energy consumption which included embodied energy of the built forms and transport infrastructure, operational energy of buildings and energy used in transport. This paper focuses on the estimation of the embodied energy of the buildings and infrastructure within the chosen urban areas. The assumptions used to categorise the design and con...
