Abstract:
Alternatives to modern building materials are shining in the Eco era sky as all the efforts emerge into reuniting with Nature, all efforts are made to maximize the energy production and harnessing side by side with minimizing the energy consumption. Our small houses that we live in, aren’t energy efficient as inefficient buildings are leading to greater heating loss giving the risk in suffocating earth. The same effect have all the living beings by consuming more as well as leading to greater energy producing demand. All of these have led to think on sustainable building strategies learned from our ancestor’s experiences so this study is conducted on four types of houses built with different non conventional materials. Using the thermal conductivity for each material and by calculating Q the hourly need of energy for every m3 of space for the four different houses, in the cold season, a comparison on which has the best heat preservation and lower heat loss is done. Various differences in the energy consumption (kWh) led to better understanding of the materials that should be used in future house designs as energy saviors. Think that we can live with less harm to our planet!
