SUSTAINABLE BUILDING MATERIAL
What is sustainable building material ?
green or ecofriendly materials, designed to offer environmental, social, economic benefits throughout their lifecycle
Key Attributes
Conserve resources
reduce waste
minimize their ecological footprint
Need for Green & Sustainable construction material
Improves human health and wellbeing
environmental impact reduction
resource conservation
enhancing resilience to multi hazards
socio-economic benefits
Supporting Decarbonization and SDGs
Approach to consider when selecting sustainable building materials
Optimization and Alternative materials
Optimize resource
use to minimize waste, energy consumption & carbon footprint
Employ design strategies
(like efficient structural systems, prefabricated components, and lightweight material) to reduce material consumption and embodied energy
Recognize that materials with high embodied energy,
such as cement and steel, that are crucial for structural strength and seismic safety > Optimize their use to achieve maximum strength with minimal consumption ( but how ??)
consider adopting load-bearing systems over reinforced concrete
frames to reduce cement and steel usage and optimization of materials thereby minimizing environment impacts
