  2. “We have borrowed the earth from our children & not inherited it from our forefathers.” • The state of continuing for a long time. Sustainable Engineering- KTU Syllabus - VARGHESE S CHOORALIL

  3. Buildings ,their construction,operation demands the two third of the global energy. • In India commercial & residentail buildings demand 30 % of the total electricity. • Energy efficient systems can reduce the demand 40%. • . Sustainable Engineering- KTU Syllabus - VARGHESE S CHOORALIL

  4. Sustainable Habitat- • Is an ecosystem that produces food & shelter for people & organisms with out resource depletion such a way that no external waste is produced • Green building: • Engineer should not consider no element as a waste product but as a nutrient stream for another product • Three Pillars for sustainable Habitat • 1.Natural Environment • 2. Built Environment • 3. Affordability. Sustainable Engineering- KTU Syllabus - VARGHESE S CHOORALIL

  5. When designing sustainable habitat 2 goals are there. • Goal 1. • Incorporate design concepts & materials that minimize resource use,maximise energy & water efficiency,eliminate exposure to toxic chemicals • Prioratize human health & safety through out construction • Goal 2 • Identify ways & means such that the building & living can actually help protect the environment through practices • That restore nature in specific & meaningful ways. Sustainable Engineering- KTU Syllabus - VARGHESE S CHOORALIL

  6. What to do... • Open Design – helps flow of natural light. • Use solar energy where roof has direct exposure to sunlight ( sky). • Sustainable houses take care of landscape , native plants. • Avoids use of toxic chemicals ( insecticides,herbicides) • Kitchen waste can be used as organic matter to enrich the soil.

  36. Methods for increasing the energy efficiency of buildings. • Globally 1/3 of the energy is consumed for residential & commercial building. • Cooking , cooling, water heating...... • As pre capita income increases this demand hikes. • More probability in wastage of energy.. • Energy in building can be categorized into two types. • 1.Energy for maintainance/ servicing of a building during its useful time • 2. Energy capital that goes into the production of the building.( using various building materials). Sustainable Engineering- KTU Syllabus - VARGHESE S CHOORALIL

  37. Concept energy efficient buildings • Protects the health of incubants. • Water efiiciency:- • reducing water consumption • Facility should be increased to collect water , reuse water on site. • Used water can be used as irrigation. Sustainable Engineering- KTU Syllabus - VARGHESE S CHOORALIL

  38. Material efficiency: • include rapidly renewed materials like bamboo,recycled stone ,recycled metel. • Building materials should be extracted & manufacured locally to minimize transportation. • Minimize waste, maximize recycle.. • Minimize noise,dust,etc.. Sustainable Engineering- KTU Syllabus - VARGHESE S CHOORALIL

  39. Waste reduction: • During construction, avoid wastes going to fill the land. • Make use of compost bins. • Energy Reduction: ( 3 Concepts) • Use less energy • Make more energy locally • Share surplus energy through a grid. Sustainable Engineering- KTU Syllabus - VARGHESE S CHOORALIL

  40. Examples • Organize information & awareness campaigns towards increasing energy efficiency in buildings. • Change the habits ( leaving rooms with lights own) • Light sensors..( measures rooms illumination). • Replace energy consuming equipments.. • Maximize use of windows.. • Use onsite generation of solar power. • The lighting power density of interior & exterior should be reduced by 10% in India.- Energy conservation building code). • Use passive design- Natural ventilation, white roofs... Sustainable Engineering- KTU Syllabus - VARGHESE S CHOORALIL

  41. Building energy performance labels / cerification should be made mandatory. • Establishing & maintaining energy management systems in large public & commercial buildings.( Low cost). • Government should insist all buildings to follow energy codes. • Also insist • Minimum energy performance standards. Sustainable Engineering- KTU Syllabus - VARGHESE S CHOORALIL

  42. Sustainable cities • 20th century is the century of cities. • Cities help people to advance socially & economically. • 50% of the world’s population lives in cities. • Total urban population is expected to rise by 60 % by 2030, out of which 80 % will concentrate in Asia & Africa. • As cities expand so the slums around it also expand. • World cities occupy only 2% of world’s land but account for 60%-80% of global energy. • 75% of carbon emissions. • Cities should be sustainable. Sustainable Engineering- KTU Syllabus - VARGHESE S CHOORALIL

  43. Sustainable City ....? • Better environment to live in. • Building cities for a healthy future. • Should be developed with the factor considering environmental impact. • “ should meet inhabitants development needs without imposing unsustainable demands on local or global natural resources & systems.” Sustainable Engineering- KTU Syllabus - VARGHESE S CHOORALIL

  44. Challenges to cities. • Food Supply & other necessary commodities • Fresh water • Energy • Heat Islands ( as absorbtion of heat energy), • Sanitation • Transportation, Slums( 1 billion),- reach 3 billion by 2050 • law & order( Floating population- anonymity) • Funds, • poverty, • Housing, • degrading environment. Sustainable Engineering- KTU Syllabus - VARGHESE S CHOORALIL

  45. Approaches to be followed • Change over population & overconsumption styles. • Urban agriculture • Good financial backing in above activities. • Rain water harvesting, ground water recharge • Reuse of wastewater • Invest in green buildings. • Create productive employment for older persons & reduce dependency. • Reduce unemployment. Sustainable Engineering- KTU Syllabus - VARGHESE S CHOORALIL

  46. If we don’t correct..? • March 2016 tops the list with a global temperature 2.21°F (1.23°C) above the 20th century average. Even though September 2016 is the second-warmest September on record, it’s still on the list clocking in at 11th with temperatures 1.6°F (0.89°C) above average. • To find the most recent record cold month, you have to look all the way back to February 1929 when the global average temperature was 1°F (0.54°C) below the norm.
