Strategic selection of glazing, its window-to-wall ratio, and wall thickness of building reduce the energy consumption in the built environment. This paper presents the experimental results of solar optical properties of five glasses: clear, tinted bronze, tinted green, bronze reflective, and polymer dispersed liquid crystal glasses. Laterite room models were modeled with four different thicknesses and four different glasses using Design Builder, and thermal simulation tests were carried out using Energy Plus. The energy savings and carbon emission mitigation prospective of a building’s glazing variety, window-to-wall ratio (WWR), and wall thickness were investigated. The results revealed that among the five window glasses studied, the polymer dispersed liquid crystal glazing window (PDLCGW) was found to be the most energy-efficient for low heat gain in laterite rooms. The laterite room with 0.23 m wall thickness and 40% PDLCGW WWR reduced 18.9% heat gain in comparison with the laterite room with 0.23 m wall thickness and 40% clear glass WWR. The laterite room of 0.23 m wall thickness with PDLCGW glazing of 40% WWR enhanced cooling cost savings up to USD 31.9 compared to the laterite room of 0.08 m wall thickness with 40% PDLCGW. The laterite room of 0.23 m wall thickness with PDLCGW glazing of 40% WWR also showed improved carbon mitigation of 516 kg of CO2/year compared to the 0.23 m wall thickness laterite room of 40% WWR with clear glass glazing. The results also showed that the laterite room with 0.23 m wall thickness and 100% clear glass WWR increased heat gain by 28.2% in comparison with the laterite room with 0.23 m wall thickness and 20% clear glass WWR. The results of this article are essential for the strategic design of buildings for energy saving and emission reduction.

“…The thermal transmittance of buildings varies linearly with the ratio of the surface area of the building envelope to the total volume of the building (Loukaidou et al 2017). Arumugam and Shaik (2021) studied the dynamic thermal performance and carbon mitigation potential of bricks by adding agricultural waste to the conventional mud-brick and found that the addition of the wastes enhances both the structural and thermal performance of the building. A study by Kirankumar et al (2020) on energy and cost analysis of various glass materials in Indian climatic zones concluded that it is always desirable to place the window in the Southeast direction because of the highest cost-saving potential.…”

Buildings consume an enormous amount of energy and are responsible for emitting massive carbon dioxide. About 33% of total energy is consumed for achieving thermal comfort in buildings. Although building insulation is a sustainable and economical option for passive cooling and guarantees long-term return, its use is still minimal in India. Only 4% of building out of all green-rated buildings are residential In India. In this study, optimum insulation thickness of cellulose, corn-based insulation, polyurethane, and polystyrene when used with different plastered brick materials having different absorptivity of the external surface is evaluated using the life cycle costing method. Four cities of India, such as Delhi, Jodhpur, Mangalore and Pune, are considered for this study to cover all the climatic zones of India. The cost-saving that can be achieved by using optimum insulation thickness is in the range of 15.6$/m2-133.3$/m2, 23.5$/m2-171.2$/m2, 15.9$/m2-147.4$/m2 and 5.7$/m2-106.3$/m2 in Delhi, Jodhpur, Mangalore and Pune, respectively. The carbon mitigation potential of optimum insulations is in the range of 22.9 kg/kWh-136.5 kg/kWh, 32.2 kg/kWh − 173.9 kg/kWh, 23.1 kg/kWh − 150.4 kg/kWh, 10.2 kg/kWh − 109.6 kg/kWh in Delhi, Jodhpur, Mangalore and Pune respectively. This study will help create awareness about the cost-saving potential of insulation, thereby increasing its use, which will help India achieve the vision of creating a 10 billion square feet green built-up area.

Eco-Friendly Fired Brick Produced from Industrial Ash and Natural Clay: A Study of Waste Reuse

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Bottom ash (BA) is an industrial solid waste formed by the burning of coal. The environmental problems and storage costs caused by this waste increase with every passing day. In this study, the use of BA as an additive (clay substitute) in fired brick production was investigated. The study consisted of two stages. In the first stage, cylinder blocks were produced from clay used in brick production. The second stage was the examination of the experimental substitution of clay with 10, 20, 30 and 40% BA. Samples were fired at 900, 1000, 1100 and 1150 °C to produce fired brick samples. The unit weight, compressive strength (before and after freeze–thawing) and water absorption were analyzed for the samples. The unit weight values decreased in the samples containing BA. The mechanical properties met the conditions prescribed in the relevant standards; i.e., all of the samples fired at 1100 and 1150 °C had a sufficient compressive strength over 20 MPa. The high potential of fired bricks for the construction industry was proved. BA can be used as a clay substitute, while the developed protocol can be used to effectively produce fired bricks.
