Download or read book THERMAL INSULATION AND PERFORMANCE OF RCC SLABS written by Dr. Manmatha Kumar Roul and published by Blue Rose Publishers. This book was released on 2022-05-25 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the case of buildings built in extreme condition areas, heating is done during winter, and cooling is done during summer for the comfort feeling of the occupants. It leads to the consumption of a lot of electric power, which can be reduced to a great extent if thermally insulated construction materials are used. The significant objective of this proposed work is to develop a mathematical model with the help of different optimization techniques. Numerical modeling is utilized to predict the temperature of the different walls such as ferro cement wall, RCC wall and three cavity walls such as combined twin RCC walls, combined twin ferro cement walls and combined ferro cement and RCC walls. Mathematical modeling is achieved by reducing the cost and time devoted in the case of extension of the existing work. The thermal execution of building roof components subjected to variations of temperature on roof top were inspected with (treated) and without (untreated) insulating materials. The optimal system weight can be accomplished with a number of optimization techniques such as Group Search Optimization (GSO), Genetic Algorithm (GA), Cuckoo Search (CS), Bacterial Colony Optimization (BCO) and Social Spider Optimization (SSO). The optimal values are based on minimizing the error and predicting the temperature of different walls accurately. Heat conduction through the roof can be decreased by providing thermal insulation on the roofs.

This book was released on 2001-01-01 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Accelerated urbanization imposes immense pressure on the dwindling energy sources and fragile ecosystems. Yet, the resource crunch confronting energy supplies can be alleviated if we design and develop future buildings by incorporating sound concepts of energy efficiency and sustainability.Covering 41 projects from India's various climatic zones, this book provides thorough insights into the context, techniques, and benefits of energy-efficient buildings. The projects highlight design responses to varied climatic conditions, appropriate materials and construction methods, implementation of energy-efficient systems, and effective utilization of renewable energy to reduce pressure on grid power.This book will inspire architects, designers, urban planners, engineers, and students to build for a better tomorrow.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New thinking is essential if we are to design and occupy buildings that can keep us safe with unpredictable economies, climates, energy systems and resource challenges. For too long designers have relied on mechanical solutions for heating, cooling and ventilating buildings. The 21st century dream has to be of a better architecture that enables buildings to be run for as much of a day or year as possible on local, clean, reliable, affordable natural energy. Examples are included from different climates where the fundamental building design is right, its orientation, opening sizes, mass and its natural ventilation systems and pathways. Many modern buildings are poorly designed for climate as manifested by growing incidences of overheating experienced indoor, explored here. The inability of many rating systems to record and improve the climatic design of buildings raises questions about how they deal with issues of basic building performance. This books points the way towards how we can understand such problems, and move forward from over-mechanised poorly designed buildings to a new generation of adaptable buildings designed and refurbished to run largely on natural energy and capable of evolving over time to keep their occupants safe and comfortable, even in a warming world. The chapters were originally published in Architectural Science Review.
