Hey all, 
 
I'm doing a bunch of research to help my students this spring, and I'm trying to compile some good embodied energy stats to give them some guidance around material choices and their environmental impacts. I know that EE doesn't give the whole picture by any means, but it's a good way to show them some comparisons and get them thinking. 
 
I've seen some good charts from University of Bath in the UK and Victoria University in NZ, and a reference chart from the Canadian Architects Association (don't know where the numbers came from in that one). I've also found some research documents that look at EE in particular materials. 
 
Does anybody have other recommendations for EE comparison charts? 
 
Thanks! 
 
Chris
