Assessment of radiological hazards of travertine rocks as building materials
Introduction: Although travertine is now widely used as a building material, the effects of its radiological hazards to public health should be a matter of concern. Therefore, this study aimed to determine its radiological parameters with regard to human health. Material and Methods: In this research 10 travertine samples were collected ...
متن کاملAssessment of Smoke Toxicity of Building Materials
In this paper, tests and standards on assessing smoke toxicity of materials will be reviewed first. Toxic potency data such as EC50, LC50, IC50, LT50 and IT50 are briefly introduced and criticized for suitability to use. Whether LC50 is a good toxic potency parameter will be discussed. Preliminary tests on some of these toxic data for selected building materials commonly used will be assessed. ...
متن کاملEmbodied Energy Versus Operational Energy . Showing The Shortcomings Of The Energy Performance Building Directive ( EPBD )
Energy is a key issue for Portugal, it is responsible for the higher part of its imports and since almost 30% of Portuguese energy is generated in power stations it is also responsible for high CO2 emissions. Between 1995 and 2005 Portuguese GNP rise 28%, however the imported energy in the same period increased 400%, from 1500 million to 5500 million dollars. As to the period between 2005 and 2...
متن کاملEnergy Conservation in Building
The building sector accumulates approximately a third of the final energy consumption. Consequently, the improvement of the energy efficiency in buildings has become an essential instrument in the energy policies to ensure the energy supply in the mid to long term moreover is the most cost-effective strategy available for reducing carbon dioxide emissions This paper is studying the main objecti...
متن کاملapplication of small-scale experimental models for thermal comfort assessment of sustainable building materials
accumulation of unmanaged industrial solid waste, especially in developing countries has resulted in an increased environmental concern. in view of utilization of industrial solid waste the recycled paper mill waste (rpmw) – cement composite bricks were designed and developed. in order to investigate the environmental performance of sustainable construction materials two small scale model house...
