considerable embodied energy
"Natural building" is an umbrella term that connotes any sort of building that is accomplished with the use of natural materials primarily. There is, of course, a blurring of this distinction when any specific material or building technique is examined, because the influence of technology is all-pervasive in today's world. Still, it is worthwhile to focus on those ways of building that minimize the use of products that require considerable embodied energy for their manufacture or transportation.
Hi,
Is it right to interpret the line in bold as the following? Thanks.
However, it is worthy of emphasizng those ways of building that minimize the use of products that require great amount of tangible energy for their manufacture or transportation.

- The embodied energy methodology is still being debated, but certainly will include manufacturing and transportation energy.
- However, we all should realize that besides manufacturing and transportation, by the time the products reach consumers' hands, there are a lot of energy-consumed elements that we need to be taken into account.

Hi Angliholic,
Sorry! I don't read it the way you interpret. First, ’embodied energy’ means the total energy that is required every step of the way to convert raw materials into products then deliver to customers (i.e., to the point of use). The embodied energy methodology is still being debated, but certainly will include manufacturing and transportation energy.
