dc.description.abstract |
There are plenty of alternative building materials introduced to construction industry in order to
save energy. Although typical materials are used for construction, there is a trend to use alternative materials
as sustainability has become an important topic in construction industry. But still there is confusion between
energy and cost for selecting material for a building envelope while maintaining basic functions of the building
envelope. Therefore, this study evaluates the different building materials in terms of life cycle energy and cost
for local conditions. Ferro cement panels with coconut fibre filler is used as an alternative material, together
with common building materials for the comparison. Proposed configuration has the lowest lifecycle energy
and it is the most cost effective material. Also analysis implies that not only embodied energy but also operational
energy is varied with use of different materials for building envelope. |
