Energy Efficient Waterproofing and Insulation

Composite Systems for “GREEN BUILDING”

Presenter: Yogendra Asthana

2
Green Building Rating System- Key Areas
A green and energy efficient waterproofing system consists of products which;
 Prevent water seepage and leakage through the structure.
 Allows you to maximize your energy saving goals.
 Have negligible environmental impact.
 Manufactured with toxic free ingredients.
 Environment-friendly and certified by recognized organizations like GRIHA/IGBC
 Has reduced or zero carbon footprint
 Has reduced or zero plastic footprint
 Enhance durability of the construction through long term performance and
extended service life.
 Ensure the health and comfort of the building occupants.

Sustainable Structure = Leak Free Structure + Heat Free

=
Need for GREEN Structures

Present Scenario
Temperatures around the world is rising at very fast rate.
 According to the Inter-governmental Panel on Climate Change, the Earth’s average
temperature is on track to increase by between 3 and 7 degrees Celsius this century.
 Cities are often significantly warmer than the surrounding landscapes/ rural area.
 The difference between outside air temperatures in a city and its surrounding rural areas
can be 4 to 7 degrees Celsius or more in summer months creating “Urban Heat Island
Effect.”
 Addressing this heating effect is important because the world is rapidly urbanizing—within
50 years an estimated 80 percent of the world’s population will live in an urban area.
 Present Challenge……. Can we have a
Solution?

 Higher temperatures adversely affect our health, our energy consumption,

depleting natural resources and impacting our environment.

 Roofs and pavements cover about 60 percent of urban surfaces, and absorb more
than 80 percent of the sunlight that contacts them. This energy is converted to
heat, which results in hotter cities, more polluted cities, and higher energy costs.

Give a Thought ….
If this wide spread area exposed to Sun light is protected from generating heat –Can
we Cool Down Our Buildings & Cities ….. & thus Planet!

Also. if we insulate these surfaces, we will have better comfort inside our houses
consuming lesser energy in maintaining that.
 Indian Climate and Heat Gain

Heat Gain
in a Space

India is a tropical country where we get the solar radiation

throughout the year hence there is a lot of Heat Gain in a
conditioned space.

Process of Heat Generation & Transmittance
in Building

Heat Transfer happens through Building

Envelope:

 Conduction : Conductivity of Bldg. material

 Convection through air movement
 Radiation : Solar heat incident on surface.
 Radiation of Sun – IR Radiation play major role in heat incidence on the surface.

 Radiation being absorbed by the substrate – Roof & Walls.

 Absorbed radiation convert into Heat energy.

 Heat produced at the source transmits indoors through the material and eventually
emitted inside the building due to temperature gradient.

 Heat produced is also emitted in atmosphere resulting to Heat Island effect.

Energy Demand – Large share from HVAC in
commercial buildings

A large share
comes from
Commercial
Buildings

Electricity consumption by end use

Source : ECBC Compliance in Indian Cities – Handbook 2019
The ECBC :

The ECBC provides design norms for:

Building envelope, including thermal performance
requirements for walls, roofs, and windows;

 BEE (Bureau of Energy Efficiency) is mandating States to unify

ECBC guidelines in building byelaws

 Currently 13 states have unified the code with byelaws:

 Mandate for adoption of energy efficient building systems

specifically in Commercial buildings
The ECBC :

 Purpose: Provide the minimum

requirements for the Energy Efficient
Design and Constructions of Buildings

 Three Categories of Code :

 ECBC Compliant Blgd are 20-25% more efficient
than conventional blgds. Is mandatory

 ECBC + Compliant Blgd are 30-35% more efficient

than conventional blgds.

 Super ECBC Compliant Blgd are 40-45% more efficient

than conventional blgds.
The ECBC :

 Code is applicable for Buildings of

Commercial usage which have a
connected load of 100kW or greater or
a contract demand of 120 kVA
 In a Building, the Code applies to :
 Building Envelope
 HVAC
 Lighting
 Electrical Motors & Renewable Energy

Building Envelope :

The Building Envelop will be depicted

by the Red Line separates the
Conditioned Space from the
Unconditioned Space.

These surfaces need to be both : leak-

free and heat free based on exposure
condition.
Roofs and Walls
More than 70 % of heat gain/loss in buildings happens through

Rising demand for

Heat-Free and Leak-free
buildings

necessitates
to integrate Insulation
along with waterproofing systems
for achieving
efficient building envelope
specifically roofs and
walls
How it WORKS ??

• The “coolness” of a roof under exposure to

solar heat can be determined by comparing two
factors of the coated surface:
• Solar Reflectivity - measures a roof’s ability to
reflect sunlight and heat away from a building.

• Thermal Emittance - refers to a roof’s ability to

release absorbed heat.

• Solar Reflectance Index (SRI) is a value that

incorporates both the two radiative properties
above in a single value to represent a material’s
temperature under exposure to solar heat.

Coating having SRI Value >100 have better efficiency for reducing surface temperature.
Under Deck or Over Deck

As per NBC 2016, Part 11 – For hot(Tropical) climates like India, over deck
insulation is advantageous compared to under deck insulation

Reflective Coating Systems

 Reduce the surface temperature by using

high SRI* coating on Roof and Wall surfaces.

 The coatings reflects the heat generating

incident rays back to atmosphere.

 SRI- Solar Reflective Index, shall be >100

 These coatings ideally shall have

waterproofing property along with high SRI
Value.
Surface Temperature Reduction

Dr. Fixit Reflective coatings are designed with dual benefits :

Excellent heat reflectance as well as waterproofing property

Reduced surface temperature means reduced heat absorbed - lesser heat energy transfer -
Better comfort in space below.
