SUSTAINABLE CONSTRUCTION

 LPTC
3003

OBJECTIVE:
• To impart knowledge about sustainable construction and to understand the concepts of sustainable materials, energy calculations, green buildings and environmental effects.

UNIT I

INTRODUCTION

9
Introduction and definition of Sustainability - Carbon cycle - role of construction material: concrete and steel, etc. - CO2 contribution from cement and other construction materials.

UNIT II

MATERIALS USED IN SUSTAINABLE CONSTRUCTION

9
Construction materials and indoor air quality - No/Low cement concrete - Recycled and manufactured aggregate - Role of QC and durability - Life cycle and sustainability.


UNIT III

ENERGY CALCULATIONS

9
Components of embodied energy - calculation of embodied energy for construction materials - Energy concept and primary energy - Embodied energy via-a-vis operational energy in conditioned building - Life Cycle energy use

UNIT IV

GREEN BUILDINGS

9
Control of energy use in building - ECBC code, codes in neighboring tropical countries - OTTV concepts and calculations – Features of LEED and TERI – Griha ratings - Role of insulation and thermal properties of construction materials - influence of moisture content and modeling - Performance ratings of green buildings - Zero energy building

UNIT V

ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS

9
Non-renewable sources of energy and Environmental aspects – energy norm, coal, oil, natural gas - Nuclear energy - Global temperature, Green house effects, global warming - Acid rain: Causes, effects and control methods - Regional impacts of temperature change.

TOTAL : 45 PERIODS

OUTCOMES: On completion of the course, the student is expected to be able to
CO1 Describe the various sustainable materials used in construction.
CO2 Explain the method of estimating the amount of energy required for building.
CO3 Describe the features of LEED, TERI and GRIHA ratings of buildings.
CO4 Explore the concept and performance of zero energy buildings.
CO5 Select less carbon emission materials for construction.
