“…A combination of graphene oxide's strong thermal conductivity and barrier qualities, the composite matrix's thermal qualities were enhanced by its integration. Due to their abundance, renewability, and biodegradability, bamboo bres are used as natural reinforcement instead of synthetic bres since they are more environmentally benign [11][12][13][14]. The brine sludge, a waste product from desalination processes, serves as a ller material, contributing to the sustainability of the composite [15,16].…”

The present study introduces a novel approach for developing advanced, adaptable, flexible, and moldable composite using bamboo powder derived from bamboo fiber, graphene oxide (GO), and chlor-alkali waste brine sludge embedded with polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS). The process involves the development of a flexible composite utilizing treated bamboo fiber powder with brine sludge, graphene oxide nanoparticles, and PDMS as a polymer matrix. The study developed three sets of Graphene Oxide GO-reinforced flexible Bamboo composite named TGO 100, TGO 300 and TGO 500. The utilization of this flexible, thermally active bamboo composite holds promise as an alternative in various applications. The developed samples were characterized for their morphological, mechanical, water absorption, and thermal conductivity studies. With the increase in the concentration of graphene oxide (TG0 500 composition) the highest tensile strength is reported to be 0.197 Mpa.The thermal conductivity results demonstrate that the developed flexible material exhibits thermal conductivity properties, with the material achieving excellent values of 0.192, 0.196, and 0.203 W/m·K respectively. Consequently, the bamboo-based flexible composite material possesses outstanding thermal conductive qualities and can find diverse applications across a wide range of fields.

“…These benefits affect homeowners, end users, operators and other stakeholders in the construction industry. Parashar & Parashar, (2012) presented a green building as an implementation of constructing a building to be environmentally friendly and resource-efficient throughout the lifecycle of the building. A green building is a building that includes design, development, and operational practices and processes that fundamentally lower the negative effect on the environment.…”

Incorporating BIM and green buildings is a continuous task in the construction industry to achieve sustainable designs and achieve energy efficiency and performance. It entails integrating BIM, building energy performance assessment and sustainable design. Achieving GreenBIM in the construction industry has, however, struggled to achieve this successfully. This study identified the strategies for achieving the implementation of GreenBIM in a developing country context. Data was collected using a well-structured questionnaire from construction industry professionals in South Africa. The collected data were appropriately analysed. It was found that industry leadership, support assistance and promotion of BIM education programmes were the top three strategies for achieving GreenBIM. The study identified and ranked the strategies. This is important for industry stakeholders to achieve the implementation of GreenBIM.

“…The environmental and health hazards attributed to non-green conventional building materials, coupled with the adverse effect of massive exploitation of forest resource for construction purpose, have necessitated the search for alternative construction materials that are eco-friendly, sustainable, economical and socially acceptable (fashionable). Bamboo is one of the strongest and most versatile eco-friendly building materials in the world (Shah et al, 2012). Bamboos are giant grasses belonging to the family Gramineae, a sub-family of Bambusoideare (Effah et al, 2014).…”

The high cost and environmental and health hazards attributed to conventional building materials, coupled with the adverse effect of massive exploitation of forest resources for construction purposes, have necessitated the search for alternative construction materials that are eco-friendly, sustainable, economical and socially acceptable. This study aims to explore the acceptability and use of innovative bamboo products for residential building construction in Nigeria. One hundred and fifty-two survey questionnaires were distributed to built environment professionals within the Lagos region using the convenience sampling technique. The results show a likely disposition to the use of innovative bamboo products for building construction, except for roof beams and trusses, wall beams and columns, and composite roofing sheets. Major barriers to the acceptability and use of bamboo for construction include lack of knowledge about bamboo connections and detailing; the absence of governmental policy on bamboo as an alternative construction material; the absence of design standards for bamboo products; and poor public perception of the use of bamboo in building construction. The value of this study is that it provides an excellent platform for further research on the optimization of bamboo for construction, which will boost economic activities, reduce capital flight for the importation of machinery and the constituents of conventional building materials, and enhance the country's GDP.
