Contents:
Intro -- Materials and Technologies for Green Construction -- Preface -- Table of Contents -- Insulating Materials for Energy Saving in Buildings -- Soil Based Building Materials for Energy Efficiency -- Glass-Wool Insulation: ECBC Compliance and Green Building Aspect -- Energy Efficient Skylight Design in Tropical Houses -- Thermal Insulation System for Energy Efficiency -- Straw Bale: An Innovative Sustainable Material in Construction -- Fundamental Parameters of Heat and Moisture Transfer for Energy Efficiency in Buildings -- Energy Efficient Techniques for Construction: Planning of a Sustainable Community -- Recycling of Construction and Demolition Waste Material for Energy Savings in India -- Drivers and their Relationship with Inhibitors Influencing the Adoption of Stabilized Earth Construction to Alleviate Urban Housing Crisis in Zimbabwe -- Keywords Index -- Authors Index.
Summary: The need of today is to have energy efficient buildings materials andconstruction technologies that cater to this rising need. Hence, selectingconstruction and finishing materials that have low embodied energy and haveless operational and maintenance cost is the most powerful tool for thearchitects, designers and the constructors to achieve high energy efficiencyin buildings. This special volume on 'Materials and Technologies for GreenConstruction' contains Ten chapters which address a wide range of issuespertaining to building materials and technologies with reference to energyefficiency. This volume demonstrates that alternatives to modern buildingmaterials are available and that today it is possible to produce buildingmaterials and select raw materials from an ecological perspective.
