The building sector is known to have a significant environmental impact, considering that it the largest contributor global greenhouse gas emissions of around 36% and also responsible for about 40% energy consumption. Of this, 50% takes place during operational phase, while 10–20% consumed in materials manufacturing, transport construction, maintenance, demolition. Increasing necessity reducing...

Abstract The Sound absorbent textile materials, especially nonwoven composite structure of reclaimed materials which have low manufacturing costs, relative density and are more attractive. In this research the use cotton polyester fiber for production sound absorption has been investigated. Three different blend ratios fibers that is 25:75, 40:60 50:50 used. composites specified their physical ...
