AN APPROACH TOWARDS ACHIEVING LOW ENERGY CONSUMING BUILDING CONSTRUCTION Cylindrical tank Light Roofing using Micro-concrete tiles(MCR tiles) Jali clay blocks used for parapets Tile-cladded blocks Cudappah stone chajja ————~ Walls built using Interlocking stabilized compressed earth blocks (ISCEBs) (or others listed) Arch foundation/boulder foundation - At the planning level. - By reasonable selection of materials and technologies - During organization and transportation of materials AT PLANNING LEVEL: - By achieving minimum perimeter of walls (minimum surface area of walls) - Orienting longer surface towards the north-south direction and shorter surfaces towards east-west direction - Making G+2 load bearing structures - Excavation of basement and using the same excavated soil to make bricks. - By finalising all the materials and technologies to be used. - By providing appropriate sizes and number of windows (less width, less openings facing the west etc) as this will help both in reducing the initial cost and the operational costs of the building. - By having rectangular rooms and enclosures rather than square, to facilitate using one way slabs which need only two main walls and lesser steel in comparison with two way slabs - By having the spans of rooms upto 4m as much as possible and using alternative roofing technologies - By selecting appropriate materials which can provide natural comfort and avoid health hazards. - By introducing skylights for abundant natural lighting and ventilation - By designing the service areas and utilities (reusing grey water and rain water harvesting at split levels) - Reducing the use of sand and using alternative materials. - Giving floor finishes using alternative materials such as oxides and tandur stones - Using precast shading devices and chajjas to provide shading - Using metal windows with standard glass sizes, frameless doors for the interiors and composite doors for the exteriors - Providing exposed wall and roof finishes - Use of arches and stones for interior openings which provide aesthetic value and also reduce fabrication cost. ARCH FOUNDATION - Based on the concept of stone bridges. - Can be designed for G+2 floors and for room having spans upto 40 feet, and arch spans ranging from 8 feet to 12 feet. - Depends on load bearing capacity of soil - Saves upto 10% - 30% in stone and mortar; No savings in labour. - Technically good masons and careful supervision required BOULDER FOUNDATION - Uses random stones resulting in lesser cost . - Infill can be either of gravel soil, quarry dust, , stabilized soil cement or concrete depending on number of floors. - Can be completed quickly . - Locally available boulders (kaadu kallu) can also be used . - Regular PCC beds can be avoided. OTHER OPTIONS - SSM isolated footings with plinth beams at desired intervals. - Concrete rings for protection against tree roots 2.PLINTH BEAM U BLOCK WITH DESIGNED STEEL - Shuttering is avoided. - Plastering can be avoided. CUDDAPAH SLABS -Suitable for low height buildings, -No steel, no concrete, -No Plastering,no painting. 3. TERMITE TREATMENT OSOLIN RESEARCH LABORATORIES, BANGALORE. - Dealers in Termite treatment , herbal plant pesticides, | wood treatment, mosquito repellents, non toxic insect control TRADITIONAL METHODS Fresh Neem leaves 2 inch thick layer below PCC of foundation and underfloor. Sand 4 inch sand layer below PCC of underfloor RAT TRAP BOND (using burnt bricks) - (3"x41/4"x9") - Needs good quality burnt bricks . - Saves up to 30% of bricks and 20% of mortar for a 9 inch wall. - If bricks are good, they can be left exposed or plastered . brick buildings in Kerala area as old as 25 years - Based on the strength of the bricks, we can build G+1 buildings with load bearing walls . - Reduces heat transfer to the interiors due to cavity (2 degree to 5 degree temperature difference) - It can span walls upto 12 feet DUC STABILIZED COMPRESSED EARTH BLOCK MASONRY(S CEB) . - Can be designed to build G+ 2 load bearing walls.
