2. What is sustainable buildings
“ sustainability” is simple and it’s really just about living our
lives so that we don’t consume more natural resources
sustainable building is constructed with sustainable
materials
A Material can be termed as sustainable when it can be
easily-grown with less recycle duration; and its locally
availability with high superior quality performance
sustainable materials are renewable resources
3. ● cities are responsible for around two
thirds of the energy used, 60 percent of
all water consumed and 70 percent of
gases worldwide
Reasons for sustainable buildings existance
4. Then what is green building ?
All sustainable buildings are green buildings but
not all green buildings are sustainable
Because, building construted with ecofriendly
products and,renewable resources and less
energy consumption products are termed as
sustainable buildings
Bilding constructed with ecofriendly products and
are termed as green buildings(Here product can
be on reneweable also)
10. BAMBOO
sustainable bamboo flooring is a great option for improving the
building or construction plans for any project
Bamboo is a great anti-bacterial and it is also water resistant

12. Clay
● The clay is usually added to straw(rice straw), sand, and then water in
order to make bricks that are used as walls.
16. The main aspect to sustainable timber harvesting is the
regeneration of the trees
Recycling timber is the environmentally friendly product
Timber recycling is the process of turRning waste timber into
usable products
Timber can be chipped down into wood chips which can be used to
power homes or power plants.
Use of recycling timber is not new. As early as 1948, the 100 metres
tall tower of
1)Golm transmitter near Potsdam, Germany was built from recycled
timber
2)Former tower of Koblenz radio transmitter
3)Ismaning radio transmitter,ETC

RUNNERS
21. One of the Renewable product of paper is
Warmcell insulation
● Application of warmcell in construction
● By installing WARMCEL between battens,
roofs can be insulated directly, leading to a
warm loft space that can be used as a room
(e.g. loft conversion)
● For void fill
● Insulation for walls.
● improved thermal performance
22. WARMCELL AS A INSULATION
FOR WALLS
WARMCELL FOR PARTITION

23. Technology Available
● Centre for ASTRA (Application of Science and
Tech- nology for Rural Areas) was formed in
1974 at Indian Institute of Science (IISc),
Bangalore(cv raman road ), to cater to
developing technologies for sustainable
development.
● Recently, this centre has been renamed as
‘Centre for Sustainable Technologies’.
