1. Hollow Blocks
2. Green Bricks
Making & Use
Differentiate green bricks for the materials they are constructed and there are several proposals (in line or already in progress) of bricks with different components:
Coal ash: This was an idea of a civil engineer, Henry Liu, in 1999, with a double environmental benefit. With this material the bricks are obtained at 212 degrees in 10 hours and take advantage of 45 million tons of the waste generated by coal power plants.
Hemp and straw: This brick and green has been used by Spanish companies. Despite the apparent fragility of the material hardness is similar to conventional ones. They have the disadvantage of being more expensive but well isolated from the outside temperature. This represents a savings of energy expenditure for heating and air conditioning, so that pays the price soon.
Used plastic and peanut shells: ecological bricks of this material are a creation of the Experimental Center for Economic Housing in Argentina who says they are tough, lightweight insulation and economic. In addition to producing energy savings possible recycling of waste for production.
Materials Matter - Construction Materials and their Environmental CostsThink Wood
This presentation will show how the life cycle assessment makes it easier for architects to incorporate environmental considerations into their building material selection. It will discuss the life cycle impacts of wood, concrete and steel and demonstrate that over its life cycle, wood is better for the environment than steel or concrete in terms of embodied energy, air and water pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. In addition, this presentation will highlight the advances each industry is making toward sustainability.

Green building (also known as green construction or sustainable building) refers to both a assembly and the using of progressions that are environmentally responsible and resource-efficient throughout a building's life-cycle: from siting to design, construction, process, conservation, renovation, and demolition. In extra words, green building design contains finding the balance between homebuilding and the sustainable environment. This requires close collaboration of the design team, the architects, the engineers, and the client at all project stages. The Green Building practice expands and complements the classical building design concerns of economy, utility, durability, and comfort.A similar concept is natural building, which is usually on a smaller scale and tends to focus on the use of natural materials that are available locally. Other related topics include sustainable design and green architecture. Sustainability may be defined as meeting the needs of present generations without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs. Although some green building programs don't address the issue of the retrofitting existing homes, others do, especially through public schemes for energy efficient refurbishment. Green construction principles can easily be applied to retrofit work as well as new construction.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
2. GREEN BUILDING
Refers to a structure and using process that is
environmentally responsible and resource efficient
throughout a building’s life cycle : from sitting to
design, construction, operation, maintenance, re
novation, and demolition.
Green building – also known as sustainable or high
performance building increases the efficiency with
which buildings and their sites use and harvest
energy, water, and materials.
3. GREEN BUILDING CONCEPT
The ‘GREEN BUILDING’ concept is gaining
importance in various countries, including India.
These are buildings that ensure waste is minimized
at every stage during the construction and
operation of the building, resulting in low costs,
according to experts in technology.
A Green building is a structure that is environmentally
responsible and resource efficient throughout it’s life
cycle.
4. OBJECTIVE
Green building 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.
5. Goals of green building
Green building brings together a vast array of practices and techniques
to reduce and ultimately eliminate the impacts of buildings on the
environment and human health. It often emphasizes taking advantage
of renewable resources, e.g., using sunlight through passive solar, active
solar, and photovoltaic techniques and using plants and trees
through green roofs, rain gardens, and for reduction of rainwater run-
off. Many other techniques, such as using packed gravel or permeable
concrete instead of conventional concrete or asphalt to enhance
replenishment of ground water, are used as well.
Fundamental principles : Structure Design Efficiency, Energy
Efficiency, Water Efficiency, Materials Efficiency, Indoor
Environmental Quality Enhancement, Operations and Maintenance
Optimization, and Waste and Toxics Reduction
6. Structure design efficiency
The foundation of any construction project is rooted in the concept and
design stages. The concept stage, in fact, is one of the major steps in a
project life cycle, as it has the largest impact on cost and performance.
In designing environmentally optimal buildings, the objective is
to minimize the total environmental impact associated with all
life-cycle stages of the building project. However, building as a
process is not as streamlined as an industrial process, and varies from
one building to the other, never repeating itself identically. In addition,
buildings are much more complex products, composed of a multitude
of materials and components each constituting various design variables
to be decided at the design stage. A variation of every design
variable may affect the environment during all the building's
relevant life-cycle stages.
7. Energy efficiency
To reduce operating energy use, high-efficiency windows and
insulation in walls, ceilings, and floors increase the efficiency of
the building envelope, (the barrier between conditioned and
unconditioned space). Another strategy, passive solar building
design, is often implemented in low-energy homes. Designers orient
windows and walls and place awnings, porches, and trees to shade
windows and roofs during the summer while maximizing solar gain in
the winter. In addition, effective window placement (day lighting) can
provide more natural light and lessen the need for electric lighting
during the day. Solar water heating further reduces energy costs.
Onsite generation of renewable energy through solar power, wind
power, hydro power, or biomass can significantly reduce the
environmental impact of the building. Power generation is generally
the most expensive feature to add to a building.
8.
9. Water efficiency
Reducing water consumption and protecting water quality are key
objectives in sustainable building. One critical issue of water
consumption is that in many areas, the demands on the supplying
aquifer exceed its ability to replenish itself. To the maximum extent
feasible, facilities should increase their dependence on water
that is collected, used, purified, and reused on-site. The
protection and conservation of water throughout the life of a building
may be accomplished by designing for dual plumbing that recycles
water in toilet flushing. Waste-water may be minimized by utilizing
water conserving fixtures such as ultra-low flush toilets and low-
flow shower heads. Bidets help eliminate the use of toilet
paper, reducing sewer traffic and increasing possibilities of re-using
water on-site. Point of use water treatment and heating improves both
water quality and energy efficiency while reducing the amount of water
in circulation. The use of non-sewage and greywater for on-site use
such as site-irrigation will minimize demands on the local
aquifer.
10. Materials efficiency
Green building materials are composed of renewable, rather than
nonrenewable resources. Green materials are environmentally
responsible because impacts are considered over the life of the product.
Depending upon project-specific goals, an assessment of green
materials may involve an evaluation of one or more of the criteria listed
below.
Green building material/product selection criteria :
Resource efficiency
Indoor air quality
Energy efficiency
Water conservation
Affordability
11. Resource Efficiency
Recycled Content: Products with identifiable recycled content,
including postindustrial content with a preference for post consumer
content.
Resource efficient manufacturing process: Products manufactured
with resource-efficient processes including reducing energy
consumption, minimizing waste (recycled, recyclable and or source
reduced product packaging), and reducing greenhouse gases.
Locally available: Building materials, components, and systems found
locally or regionally saving energy and resources in transportation to
the project site.
Durable: Materials that are longer lasting or are comparable to
conventional products with long life expectancies.
12. Indoor environmental quality enhancement
Indoor Air Quality seeks to reduce volatile organic compounds, or
VOCs, and other air impurities such as microbial contaminants.
Buildings rely on a properly designed ventilation system
(passively/naturally- or mechanically-powered) to provide adequate
ventilation of cleaner air from outdoors or recirculated, filtered air as
well as isolated operations (kitchens, dry cleaners, etc.) from other
occupancies.
Low or non-toxic: Materials that emit few or no carcinogens,
reproductive toxicants, or irritants as demonstrated by the
manufacturer through appropriate testing.
Moisture resistant: Products and systems that resist moisture or
inhibit the growth of biological contaminants in buildings.
Systems or equipment: Products that promote healthy IAQ by
identifying indoor air pollutants or enhancing the air quality.
13. Operations and maintenance optimization
No matter how sustainable a building may have been in its design and
construction, it can only remain so if it is operated responsibly and
maintained properly.. Every aspect of green building is integrated into
the O&M phase of a Ensuring operations and maintenance(O&M)
personnel are part of the project's planning and development
process will help retain the green criteria designed at the onset of
the project building's life. The addition of new green technologies also
falls on the O&M staff. Although the goal of waste reduction may be
applied during the design, construction and demolition phases of a
building's life-cycle, it is in the O&M phase that green practices
such as recycling and air quality enhancement take place
14. Waste reduction
Green architecture also seeks to reduce waste of energy, water and
materials used during construction. For example, in California nearly 60%
of the state's waste comes from commercial buildings .During the
construction phase, one goal should be to reduce the amount of material
going to landfills. Well-designed buildings also help reduce the amount of
waste generated by the occupants as well, by providing on-site solutions
such as compost bins to reduce matter going to landfills.
To reduce the impact on wells or water treatment plants, several options
exist. "Greywater", wastewater from sources such as dishwashing or
washing machines, can be used for subsurface irrigation, or if treated, for
non-potable purposes, e.g., to flush toilets and wash cars. Rainwater
collectors are used for similar purposes.
Centralized wastewater treatment systems can be costly and use a lot of
energy. An alternative to this process is converting waste and wastewater
into fertilizer, which avoids these costs and shows other benefits.
17. Cost and payoff
The most criticized issue about constructing environmentally friendly
buildings is the price. Photo-voltaics, new appliances, and modern
technologies tend to cost more money. Most green buildings cost a
premium of <2%, but yield 10 times as much over the entire life of the
building. The stigma is between the knowledge of up-front cost vs. life-
cycle cost. The savings in money come from more efficient use of
utilities which result in decreased energy bills. It is projected that
different sectors could save $130 Billion on energy
bills. Also, higher worker or student productivity can be factored into
savings and cost deductions.
Studies have shown over a 20 year life period, some green buildings
have yielded $53 to $71 per square foot back on
investment. Confirming the rentability of green building
investments, further studies of the commercial real estate market have
found that LEED and Energy Star certified buildings achieve
significantly higher rents, sale prices and occupancy rates as well
as lower capitalization rates potentially reflecting lower
investment risk.
18. Regulation and operation
The Indian building industry is highly de-centralized with
people and/ or groups engaged in design, construction,
equipment provision, installation, and renovation working
together. Each group may be organized to some extent, but there
is limited interaction among the groups, thus disabling the
integrated green design and application process.
Hence, it is very important to define and quantify sustainable
building practices and their benefits. It is also important to
separate the role of different participants in ensuring that the
building consumes minimal resources over its entire life cycle
and leaves behind a minimal environmental footprint.
19. Indian Green Building Council
The Indian Green Building Council (IGBC), was formed in the year 2001
by Confederation of Indian Industry (CII). The vision of the council is to
usher in a green building movement in India and facilitate India to become
one of the global leaders in green buildings by 2015.
With a modest beginning of 20,000 sq ft (1,900 m2). green built-up area in
the country in the year 2003, today more than 1053 green buildings ( as on
April 2011) with a built-up area of over 648,000,000 sq ft (60,200,000 m2).
are being constructed all over India, of which 147 green buildings are
certified and fully functional

22. Green Rating
for Integrated Habitat Assessment
GRIHA has been developed after a thorough study and understanding
of the current internationally accepted green building rating systems
and the prevailing building practices in India. The team has researched
on several international rating systems. A few team members were also
sponsored under a study tour by USAEP (United States Asia
Environmental Partnership) to understand the eco-rating systems
prevalent in the US. The team has vast experience in providing design
assistance to green buildings in the country and long and varied
experience in carrying out energy conservation studies in existing
hotels, offices, and other commercial building. The team has effectively
utilized the several multi-disciplinary strengths and experiences of the
colleagues at TERI to arrive at the tools that addresses cross-cutting
issues in the design, development, and operation of a green building.
