An Evaluative Study on Energy Efficient Building Materials
Journal Title: International Journal of Innovative Research in Advanced Engineering - Year 2016, Vol 0, Issue 0
Abstract
Due to growing demand for floor space, and to accommodate emerging service industries and urban migration, India expects a doubling of floor space by 2030. Use of low embodied energy and cost effective building materials, in the building construction, can reduce the overall energy consumption significantly and thus eventually minimize energy footprint of buildings. In existing residential and small commercial buildings, over 50% of the energy loss is associated with heat transfer and air leakage through building envelope components. This paper suggest the various alternative building materials, their production and evaluation based on three components i.e. Embodied Energy, CO2 emission and Thermal Conductivity (K Value). Evaluation is done by calculating the normalised value of above three components and analysed. It is observed that Stabilized mud blocks have the least environmental impact followed by AAC Blocks, while Solid concrete blocks has the highest environmental impact. Waste material such as fly ash, used in large quantities, such as in AAC blocks, fly ash concrete blocks and FaL-G blocks, has a low impact on environment. Materials that use stone dust from stone crushing units also have a lower environmental impact. Cement based walling materials such as FaL-G blocks and solid concrete blocks require more water than other materials due to the curing process involved in their production. Clay based walling materials requires the least water.
