Green Building Technologies involve the use of sustainable materials, energy-efficient systems, and eco-friendly construction practices to reduce a building’s environmental impact. These technologies aim to improve energy efficiency, water conservation, indoor air quality, and reduce carbon emissions. By integrating renewable energy sources, smart automation, and environmentally conscious design, green buildings promote sustainability, reduce operational costs, and enhance the quality of life for occupants.
The development of a sustainable geopolymer concrete using calcined water-treatment sludge and rice husk ash, which can be cured at room temperature. The use of industrial by-products for creating durable and eco-friendly building materials contributes significantly to resilient infrastructure design. Geopolymers are known for their superior strength, durability, and low environmental impact compared to traditional concrete, making them ideal for creating infrastructure that can withstand extreme conditions and promote sustainability.
the incorporation of zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles into ceramic tiles through the sol-gel method, specifically for enhancing antibacterial properties. The application of such materials in green building technologies can contribute to the development of sustainable, eco-friendly building materials. These tiles can be used in environments where hygiene and cleanliness are crucial, such as hospitals or public buildings, and contribute to reducing the spread of bacteria, improving the indoor environment, and promoting the health and well-being of occupants.
