“…The embodied energy of considered bricks, i.e. fly ash and BFA-CLW is 52649 MJ and 49890 MJ respectively (V V Sakhare & R V Ralegaonkar, 2016). For the desired roof insulator it is estimated as 1753.7 MJ (Integrated Green Design-Central Public Works Design Guidelines).…”

“…However, newly designed and developed product Cellular lightweight blocks are recommended for further use [16]. The constituent materials used for BFA-CLW brick development are 53 grade ordinary Portland cement [17], bio-briquette ash samples collected from the locally available industry (Shree Baidyanath Ayurved Bhawan Pvt. Ltd., Nagpur) and foaming agent as per requirements of IS 9103: 1999.…”

Abstract-Meeting the demand for urban slum housing is one of the major challenges in front of government especially in developing countries like India. Traditionally, temporary and semi-permanent houses are being rebuilt by the government using commercially available products. The present paper briefs the application of sustainable construction materials to improve the energy efficiency of the permanent houses being built in Urban Slums. The concept is briefed with a case study over Nagpur, Maharashtra, India. Using locally available bio-fuel ash, cellular light weight (BFA-CLW) bricks were developed and recommended for the use as the masonry product. However, the traditional concrete roof is recommended to be treated with geofoam to improve thermal resistance. The proposed use of the materials (M1-BFA-CLW & roof treated with geofoam) is compared with the traditional practice of design (M2-Fly ash brick with concrete roof). The cooling demand over the year for the considered geographic location was analyzed in the simulation software using building information modeling principals. The study resulted that the model M1 is energy efficient, cost competitive and shall conserve 46% of operating energy annually (cooling demand) as compared with conventional model M2. The study concludes with a note that the proposed model is a viable and practical acceptable solution.

“…For the purpose of evaluation of the designed products, small-scale modelling technique was applied. It is one of the established methods that demonstrated the end results to be similar to real scale methods [13,43]. Hence, a prefabricated model was scaled down to one-third of its original size and was proposed for construction.…”

Life Cycle Assessment of a Sustainable Prefabricated Housing System: A Cradle-to-Site Approach Based on a Small-Scale Experimental Model

India is in need of rapid construction technology with sustainability and environmentally friendly aspects. Prefabrication is a well-known technique that lowers carbon emissions and reduces environmental impacts. Life cycle assessment (LCA) evaluates these impacts of developed product/process. A new-age construction product was designed from a locally available agro-industrial waste called co-fired ash (CFA). Expanded polystyrene beads, fly ash, and crushed sand were also used in designing lightweight (LW) sustainable prefabricated panels. The effect of incorporating sustainable alternates into the mix designs is to be studied. An experimental small-scale model house was erected and LCA for the same was carried out with cradle-to-site approach. Based on the inventory, the environmental impact was assessed for four different indicators: acidification potential (AP), eutrophication potential (EP), global warming potential (GWP), and ozone depletion potential (ODP) were evaluated. Carbon emissions of the respective CFA-based concrete and LW prefabricated mix were found to be 0.162 kgCO2e/kg and 0.268 kgCO2e/kg, respectively. The impact of energy required during production, transport, and indirect emissions were found to contribute 3%, 3%, and 94%, respectively, to the proposed prefabricated system. Comprehensively, the phase involving mixing of LW mix contributed majorly towards all the impact indicators followed by mould preparation and material transport. The presented data helps the academia to quantify and recognise the possibilities to enhance their products’ performance.

“…Many agro-industrial and construction wastes were used as alternative raw materials in earlier mix designs. Some of these alternates are fly ash, furnace slag [17], recycled paper-mill waste [18], briquette ash [19], blended ash [20][21][22], and construction and demolition wastes [23,24]. The physicomechanical and functional test results of the novel end products were better in comparison with commercially available products.…”

The increasing urban population requires rapid housing construction. Rising global temperatures have led to more space cooling options inside buildings. There is a need to design new-age buildings with a sustainable, thermal comfort, and energy-efficiency approach. The present work integrates this approach into the design of prefabricated elements. Locally available co-fired ash, along with other sustainable alternates, are used in developing these elements. This study involves a performance evaluation and feasibility assessment of the proposed prefabricated system. A small-scale model house of one-third size is constructed using these elements for the purpose of functional evaluation. An average temperature variation of approximately 4 °C is observed upon comparison with the fly-ash brick model during the peak summer season. During energy assessment, a 12% and 52% decrease in embodied energy and peak cooling loads were observed. The time study resulted in 20% time savings over the conventional technique. The proposed system also includes a solar photo-voltaic panel, which compensates for 30% of the energy demand and reduces approximately 42% of the energy cost. Thus, the developed prefabricated system is found suitable for non-load bearing as well as functional applications. The performed studies determined the system to be sustainable, lightweight, quick, as well as energy efficient.
