Sustainable Non-Metallic Building Materials
Buildings are the largest energy consumers and greenhouse gases emitters, both in the developed and developing countries. In continental Europe, the energy use in buildings alone is responsible for up to 50% of carbon dioxide emission. Urgent changes are, therefore, required relating to energy saving, emissions control, production and application of materials, use of renewable resources, and to...
متن کاملWaste Management of Building Ceramic Materials Using the DfD Technique: Sustainable Development and Environmentally Friendly
Nowadays, in modern societies, growing activities in construction affairs and their economic development have been resulted construction wastes and so much demolition in the past three decades. Most of these wastes have not been treated and therefore caused severe damages to the environment. In this research, after reviewing construction and demolition management methods and their accesso...
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...
متن کاملA review of unconventional sustainable building insulation materials
a r t i c l e i n f o Building insulation is commonly realized using materials obtained from petrochemicals (mainly polystyrene) or from natural sources processed with high energy consumptions (glass and rock wools). These materials cause significant detrimental effects on the environment mainly due to the production stage, i.e. use of non-renewable materials and fossil energy consumption, and ...
