Abstract: There are several new-age „smart‟ building materials which are cost effective and long lasting and which would help to build or rebuild smart buildings, as a more eco- friendly and sustainable habitat. In India since ancient time construction is done by using conventional building materials. But now a days concept of smart building materials is introduced. These are durable, eco-friendly, cost effective. Still use of conventional materials is more than smart building materials. Due to lack of knowledge about smart building materials we don't use such materials. Control over quality and sustainability of finished building. Justification of the environmental cost of manufactures. So with the help of project i.e. Comparative study between smart and conventional building, there is comparison as per cost, strength, durability. In this, how both buildings are different in their features like long lasting life, implementation of materials, speed of construction, sustainability of materials is shown. For this project there is use of software for developing, analyzing and designing the reinforced concrete building. Keywords: smart material, conventional material, cost

With the development of economy, steel structure is more and more widely applied in China. With the deepening of sustainable development, the industrialization of construction become more and more hot in construction industry. Steel Structure is expected to be an important building material of industrialization. Obviously steel structure has been a main forms using in China. According to the characteristics of steel structure, smart material of BIM and RFID can be chosen as a new integration. This smart material can be used to solve the key technology of lifecycle management and information is shared, exchange with each other between participants during each stage.

Abstract Transparent wood (TW) with excellent optical and thermal management performance has been developed recently as a promising energy-efficient building material. Here, an editable shape-memory TW (ESMTW) is developed through in situ polymerization of epoxy vitrimers into a delignified wood scaffold. The ESMTW possesses high strength at low temperature and flexibility at high temperature, while it exhibits excellent shape-manipulation capability under thermal-stimulus. Meanwhile, the ESMTW shows unique light guiding and directional scattering effects. The light illuminance difference observed in our house model with a common glass ceiling is 81 times, whereas it is only 16 times with a ceiling made of the ESMTW. Most importantly, the transmitted light intensity distribution is tunable owing to its shape-management capability. Additionally, the resultant TW possesses great thermal insulation properties, mechanical strength, and high impact absorption ability. The combination of characteristics enables TW to exhibit great promise as an advanced functional and intelligent building material.

Payment in the Malaysian construction industry has generally been an issue of concern. Late and non-payment problem is endemic in construction and needs to be addressed. The aim of this study is to investigate the issues related to late and non-payment based on the building materials suppliers’ perspective. Questionnaires were distributed to suppliers of building materials in the Klang Valley. Findings from the study shows the main cause of late and non-payment is the paymaster’s poor financial management while the main effect of late and non-payment is problem with the cash flow.  The most recommended possible solution to cope with the issue is for the paymaster to conduct training on financial and cash flow management to the management team in the company.

Brick debris that makes up the majority of construction waste has not received proper waste disposal in Indonesia. On the other hand, brick debris could be potentially reused as non-structural building materials to reduce its negative impact on the environment. This study aims to test the effectiveness of soundproofing on recycled brick debris. The soundproof test was carried out on brick debris in the form of fine and coarse grains. The simulation box is then used as a support for the brickwork material and then the box is exposed to a sound source with a certain level of noise that is considered disturbing human comfort. Noise level measurements are made in the outside and inside the box. These measurements are tabulated and then analyzed to see the success of the two aggregates in reducing noise. Basically, the brickwork material has succeeded in becoming a recycled building material that can absorb noise, although further research must be carried out to be able to state that this material is truly ready to be used as an alternative building material with good acoustic capabilities.

Building construction sector can play a major role in reducing Greenhouse Gas emission through application of technologies aimed at reduction of use of building materials. Energy consumed during production of building materials and components plays a crucial role in creating environmental pollution. India is witnessing high growth in urban and rural housing, which needs more production of building materials. Permanent or semi-permanent type buildings which consume easily available conventional materials like brick, reinforced cement concrete etc. can be made Economic and Eco-friendly by lowering use of energy-consuming building materials through Cost-effective Construction Technologies. Buildings with Cost-effective Construction Technology can be designed within the parameters of the existing Indian Standards. Awareness generation among the users, proper technical and architectural guidance and easy availability of skilled manpower are of utmost importance for promotion of cost-effective technologies in India and to make them as the most acceptable case of sustainable building technologies both in terms of cost and environment.
