Sustainable building materials in Green building construction.Tendai Mabvudza
Defining sustainable building materials with concern to green buildings construction. Architectural Short thesis withdebatable topics. Principles of sustainable building.
Buildings, as definers of character and fabric of any city, are known for their positivity, negativities, dualities and contradictions. Consuming half of the global energy, majority of resources and generating 45% carbon emissions, buildings are largely responsible for consumption of resources, generation of waste, climate change and global warming. Sustainable Development Goals enunciated by UNO also mandate the critical role of buildings in promoting global sustainability. However, majority of buildings are designed without any concern for energy, resources and environment. For making buildings least consumers of energy, resources and generators of waste, traditional approach to buildings have to be changed and redefined. Appropriate options of designing sustainable, environment friendly and energy efficient buildings would involve the study, analysis and application of the relevance of climate both at regional, city and local levels; site and orientation ; options for energy and water efficiency; context of building materials and indoor air quality, active and passive means of heating cooling and using resources provided with nature for making buildings green and energy efficient.
Presentation focuses on the context, intent, content, design, construction, operation, maintenance and advantages of green buildings in reducing consumption of energy and resources and generation of waste to make, human settlements in general and our earth in particular, most livable and sustainable by reducing carbon footprints of built environment.
Green Buildings Overview and Analysis of Energy Efficient Buildingpaperpublications3
Abstract: The challenges our planet faces, particularly climate change and sustainable economic development, are global in nature and so require global solutions. The building sector, which consumes as much as 40% of world’s energy, 12% of its water and contributes 40% of its waste sent to landfill, is the major part of this global problem. Reducing energy use in buildings saves resources and money while reducing pollution and CO2 in the atmosphere. It also leverages even greater savings at power plants. For the average 33-percent-efficient coal-fired power plant, saving a unit of electricity in a building saves three units of fuel at the power plant. So to reduce green house gas emission, government promotes new buildings construction and to retrofit existing buildings while satisfying low energy criteria. This means improving energy efficiency of buildings and energy systems, developing sustainable building concepts and promoting renewable energy sources. “Green” or “sustainable” buildings use key resources like energy, water, materials, and land more efficiently than buildings that are just built to code. With more natural light and better air quality, green buildings typically contribute to improved employee and student health, comfort, and productivity. A green building depletes the natural resources to the minimum during its construction and operation. In this paper an over view of green building is discussed.
Green buildings are also referred to as green construction or sustainable
buildings.This term refers to the environment friendly and resource efficient structures
and processes in a building's life-cycle:including all the steps involved in the
planning,design,construction,operation,maintenance,renovation and demolition of the
building structures.1The Green Building concept endeavors to address the classical
building design concerns of utility,economy,comfort and durability.This necessitates
close cooperation among all stakeholders including contractors,architects,engineers
and clients at all stages of the project. New technologies are coming up all the time to
strengthen existing approaches to creating greener structures

Cosmetic shop management system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
Buying new cosmetic products is difficult. It can even be scary for those who have sensitive skin and are prone to skin trouble. The information needed to alleviate this problem is on the back of each product, but it's thought to interpret those ingredient lists unless you have a background in chemistry.
Instead of buying and hoping for the best, we can use data science to help us predict which products may be good fits for us. It includes various function programs to do the above mentioned tasks.
Data file handling has been effectively used in the program.
The automated cosmetic shop management system should deal with the automation of general workflow and administration process of the shop. The main processes of the system focus on customer's request where the system is able to search the most appropriate products and deliver it to the customers. It should help the employees to quickly identify the list of cosmetic product that have reached the minimum quantity and also keep a track of expired date for each cosmetic product. It should help the employees to find the rack number in which the product is placed.It is also Faster and more efficient way.

CFD Simulation of By-pass Flow in a HRSG module by R&R Consult.pptxR&R Consult
CFD analysis is incredibly effective at solving mysteries and improving the performance of complex systems!
Here's a great example: At a large natural gas-fired power plant, where they use waste heat to generate steam and energy, they were puzzled that their boiler wasn't producing as much steam as expected.
R&R and Tetra Engineering Group Inc. were asked to solve the issue with reduced steam production.
An inspection had shown that a significant amount of hot flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes, where the heat was supposed to be transferred.
R&R Consult conducted a CFD analysis, which revealed that 6.3% of the flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes without transferring heat. The analysis also showed that the flue gas was instead being directed along the sides of the boiler and between the modules that were supposed to capture the heat. This was the cause of the reduced performance.
Based on our results, Tetra Engineering installed covering plates to reduce the bypass flow. This improved the boiler's performance and increased electricity production.
It is always satisfying when we can help solve complex challenges like this. Do your systems also need a check-up or optimization? Give us a call!
Work done in cooperation with James Malloy and David Moelling from Tetra Engineering.

An Approach towards Pollution Prevention
2. The goal of the “GREEN BUILDINGS” is to reduce the impact of construction on the
environment.
Green buildings slowly becoming more accepted but it is not occurring fast enough and needs a
booster to help it integrate into modern society more efficiently & effectively! Green buildings will ensure
that the environment stops being devastated at its current rate and that there will still be forests populating the
Earth 50 years from now and beyond. Consumers, Designers and builders have many alternative energy
sources that they are able to choose from and implement into their homes and buildings if they choose to
construct green buildings or convert existing buildings into green buildings. To assit the shift into green
buildings, the United States Green Buildings Council established Leadership in Energy and Environmental
Design (LEED) to provide the public with a frame work on building sustainable, green buildings. The
adoption of green buildings can be achieved through the use of teaching, quality and availability incentives
and government regulations.
3. Green building - also known as
sustainable or high performance
building - is the practice of :-
• Increasing the efficiency with
which buildings and their sites use
and harvest energy, water, and
materials; and
• Protecting and restoring human
health and the environment,
throughout the building life-cycle:
siting, design, construction,
operation, maintenance, renovation
and deconstruction.
INTRODUCTION
4. The `Green Building' concept is
gaining importance in various
countries, including India. These
are buildings that ensure that
waste is minimized at every stage
during the construction and
operation of the building, resulting
in low costs, according to experts
in the technology.
5. • The techniques associated with the
`Green Building' include measures to
prevent erosion of soil, rainwater
harvesting, preparation of landscapes
to reduce heat, reduction in usage of
potable water, recycling of waste water
and use of world class energy efficient
practices.

6. Materials, production, use and disposal must be
safe for the planet. Most of the materials have
specific range of conditions in which they best work
Sustainable building materials have the following
features :-
1) Durable and easily maintained
2) Less processing required
3) Low odour
4) Low emitting
5) Cost-effective
6) Aesthetic
7. What makes a building "green"?
A green building is a structure that is
environmentally responsible and
resource-efficient throughout its life-
cycle.
These objectives expand and
complement the classical building
design concerns of economy, utility,
durability and comfort.
8. Green buildings are designed to
reduce the overall impact of the
built environment on human
health and the natural
environment by:
Efficiently using energy, water
and other resources
Protecting occupant health and
improving employee productivity
Reducing waste, pollution and
environment degradation
9. For example..
Green buildings can incorporate
sustainable materials in their construction
(Eg: Reused, recycled-content or made
from renewable resources)
Create healthy indoor environments with
minimal pollutants (Eg: Reduced product
emissions)
And feature landscaping that reduces
water usage. Eg: By using native plants
that survive without extra watering).
11. Types of Buildings
Residential buildings
Institutional buildings
Commercial Buildings
Laboratories
Health care Facilities
12. Benefits of Green Buildings..
Buildings have an enormous impact
on the :-
a) Environment
b) Human health &

17. How do buildings affect natural
resources?
Buildings and development have significant environmental
impacts on our natural resources including.
According to surveys conducted in 2002, 107.3 million acres of
the 1.983 billion acres of total land area in the U.S. is developed,
which represents an increase of 24% in developed land over the
past 10 years.
In terms of energy, buildings accounted for 39.4% of total U.S.
energy consumption and 67.9 percent of total U.S. electricity
consumption in 2002.
18. Cont…
Building occupants use 12.2% of the total water consumed in the
U.S. per day.
Buildings and the transportation infrastructure that serves them,
replace natural surfaces with impermeable materials, creating
runoff that washes pollutants and sediments into surface waters.
Urban runoff constitutes a major threat to water resources, as it has
been identified as the fourth leading source of impairment in rivers,
third in lakes and second on estuaries.
19. How do buildings affect climate change?
o The energy used for heat and power of
our buildings leads to the consumption of
large amounts of energy, mainly from
burning fossil fuels - oil, natural gas and
coal - which generate significant amounts
of carbon dioxide (CO2), the most
widespread greenhouse gas. Buildings in
the U.S. contribute 38.1% of the nation's
total carbon dioxide emissions.
20. Cont….
o Reducing the energy use and greenhouse gas emissions
produced by buildings is therefore fundamental to the effort
to slow the pace of global climate change. Buildings may be
associated with the release of greenhouse gases in other
ways, for example, construction and demolition debris that
degrades in landfills may generate methane, and the
extraction and manufacturing of building materials may also
generate greenhouse gas emissions.
