Building information modeling for sustainable design and LEED rating analysis
a r t i c l e i n f o Green building rating systems Building performance analyses Today, there is a high level of demand for sustainable buildings. The most important decisions regarding a building's sustainable features are made during the design and preconstruction stages. Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED ®) is the most widely adopted sustainable building rating system in t...
متن کاملConcrete as a Green Building Material
Concrete is by far the most widely used construction material worldwide. Its huge popularity is the result of a number of well-known advantages, such as low cost, general availability, and wide applicability. But this popularity of concrete also carries with it a great environmental cost. The billions of tons of natural materials mined and processed each year, by their sheer volume, are bound t...
متن کاملVirtual Pervious Concrete: Microstructure, Percolation, and Permeability
As the usage of pervious concrete continues to increase dramatically, a better understanding of the linkages between microstructure, transport properties, and durability will assist suppliers in mixture proportioning and design. This paper presents various virtual pervious concrete microstructural models and compares their percolation characteristics and computed transport properties to those o...
متن کاملEvaluation of Coal Waste Ash and Rice Husk Ash on Properties of Pervious Concrete Pavement
The use of pervious concrete has been significantly considered in recent years. This consideration is due to the properties of pervious concrete in relating to the environmental sustainability that is utilized in the effective management of the runoff from rainfall. Coal extraction and rice husk obtained from milling, produces wastes that have no application and followed by environmental pollut...
متن کاملProperties of Green Lightweight Aggregate Concrete
With increasing concern over the excessive exploitation of natural aggregates, synthetic lightweight aggregate produced from environmental waste is a viable new source of structural aggregate material. The uses of structural grade lightweight concrete reduce considerably the self-load of a structure and permit larger precast units to be handled. In this paper, the mechanical properties of a str...
