Comparing Sustainability and Affordability: a Study of Prefabricated Versus Conventional Construction for Housing of Economically Weaker Sections

Author(s) Karandeep Singh
Country India
Abstract This research aims to compare the sustainability and affordability of prefabricated housing with conventional construction for economically weaker sections (EWS) in India. The study analyzes the embodied energy, embodied carbon, and cost per functional unit for both construction methods. The findings reveal that prefabricated construction exhibits lower embodied energy and carbon emissions. However, it is observed that the initial cost of prefabricated construction is higher compared to conventional methods. The long-term cost implications are subject to specific project requirements and local conditions. This research highlights the potential of prefabrication in addressing the housing crisis and emphasizes the need for further exploration to optimize its cost-effectiveness. The outcomes contribute to the growing body of knowledge on sustainable housing solutions for EWS communities in India.
