Getting any sort of green certification may be a challenging and difficult process. For AEC (architecture, engineering, and construction) teams working on projects that are planning green certification, documents becomes central to the process. The great news is many technology manufacturers have showed up at market with solutions specifically geared to providing this process a

Sporadic complaints concerning solar panels are that they are not necessarily attractive. However, this may be about to change. Researchers created an innovative new transparent solar cell; this means that windows can have the capacity of producing electricity while they are allowing people to see through it.

Material strength is critical in a building,defining its structure,longevity,and  resistance to gravity, wind, earthquake and other loads that act to tear it down. Strength is equally important in non-structural components like windows and doors for security and durability. A load-bearing structural material’s strength/weight ratio is particularly important because stronger,

Smart Dynamic Concrete (SDC) is an innovative concrete that does not require vibration for placing and compaction. It is able to flow under its own weight, completely filling formwork and achieving full compaction, even in the presence of congested reinforcement. The hardened concrete is dense, homogeneous and has the same engineering properties and durability as traditional vibrated concrete

Rainscreen cladding is a method of constructing walls in which the cladding is separated from a membrane by an airspace that allows pressure equalization to prevent rain from being forced in. It is mostly used for high-rise buildings or for buildings located in windy regions. The main objective of Rainscreen cladding is to utilize the effects of the wind to control rainwater and prevent it

For a variety of reasons, reuse of concrete waste by the construction industry is becoming increasingly important. This “It is too early to predict the future of corrosion-inhibitors, epoxy coated reinforcing bars, surface coatings, and cathodic protection technology... their high cost and low environmental friendliness would clearly be a major disadvantage.” is reflected in

Corrosion of reinforcing steel is implicated in a majority of deteriorating concrete structures. In addition to HPC described previously, there are several recently developed technologies that are being pursued to address this problem, namely the use of corrosion-inhibiting admixtures, epoxycoated steel reinforcement, cathodic protection, and application of protective coatings on the

Structures, which are able to accumulate thermal energy, cause lower air temperature oscillation in adjacent rooms. Thermal energy is accumulated at the structure’s surface layer and is then conducted to deeper layers. The structure changes its own temperature and in comparison with air it has high thermal capacity and reacts more slowly to temperature changes. This attribute is

Reflective coatings on window glazing or glass reduce the transmission of solar radiation, blocking more light than heat. Therefore, they greatly reduce a window's visible transmittance (VT) and glare, but they also reduce a window's solar heat gain coefficient (SHGC). Reflective coatings usually consist of thin, metallic layers. They come in a variety of metallic colors, including silver,
