Self Learning
Assignment
- Visit to construction site to identify energy resources
- Prepare a report on silent provision made in energy conservation act – 2001
- Prepare a report on sustainable building material available in vicinity.
- Compare the working methodology of different Government organizations such as ECA,MNRE,MEDA & BEE
- Collect the sample Audit Report of any one rating Agency such as IGBC,GRIHA etc.
- Prepare a report on Local Construction Techniques and locally available material which will vary from city to city or from state to state.
Micro Project
- Prepare a report by taking case study to classify the terms and the construction methodologies between Traditional building and Green building.
- Conduct an energy audit of a small building to identify areas of energy wastage and propose energy-saving measures
- Collect the relevant information of recent technologies in green building construction and prepare a report on it.
- Prepare a questionnaire for environmental audit.
- Design a green roof for a small building or shed. Research suitable plants, materials, and construction methods that promote energy efficiency, improve air quality, and manage stormwater runoff.
- Design a rainwater harvesting system for a building or home. Calculate potential water savings, design storage solutions, and propose implementation steps.
- Explore ways to reuse or upcycle building materials (e.g., reclaimed wood, recycled glass) in construction or renovation projects. Calculate the environmental impact and cost savings.
- Research and analyze different green building certification programs (e.g., LEED, IGBC). Compare their criteria, costs, and benefits, and propose steps for a building to achieve certification.
