While car technology has advanced considerably, millions of people still live inefficient homes
Passive Environmental Design
• Natural Ventilation- stack effect ventilation, wind catchers etc.
• Passive Solar Architecture
• Building orientation with regard to sun path, wind direction etc.
• Flood and Storm tolerant design
• Recycling and composting- minimal impact on Site andEnvironment
• Use of materials which use low energy to make them, locallysourced as far as possible
• Use of natural materials for effective insulation, mortar binding etc.
• Daylighting: reducing energy use by non dependence on artificiallight.
• Trombe Walls, thermal mass etc.
• Sun-spaces and Buffer spaces
• Green roofs and vertical gardens
• Evaporative Cooling, Ground Cooling, Cool Courtyards
• Natural/green humidity control
• Rainwater harvesting
Building Retrofit
Energy Generation and Storage
• Photovoltaics integrated into building envelope
• Wind Turbines
• Anaerobics
• Solar Hot Water Collectors
• Batteries and fuel cells
• Thermal mass heat store
• Energy Transfer- Heating and Cooling
• Energy Linkage to Cars
• Hydrogen generation
• Geothermal Energy
Building Retrofit
Sustainable Technologies
• High performing insulation
• Natural ventilation systems with heat recovery
• Light sensitive movable and automated shading devices
• Light pipes and light shelves- daylighting devices
• Low emissivity double/ triple glazing, electro-chromic glazing.
• Water saving devices: Low flush and composting toilets
• Radiant heating: Modular wall heating and Floor heating
• Energy efficient building automation- heat, light, air-quality andmovement sensors
• Black bodies/white bodies, Thermal curtains
• Micro CHP
• Wood pellet boilers
Building Retrofit
Low-e- materials
• Locally sourced reclaimed bricks, stone bonded with lime mortar
• Block construction- hollow clay, aerated concrete, aggregate block,interlocking wood blocks
• Insulation types: Insulation derived from organic sources, Insulationderived from naturally occurring materials, Insulation derived from fossilfuels, recycled insulation
• Roof covering/cladding: reclaimed slates, clay tiles, wood shingles;weathering metals like copper and zinc.
• Timber construction
• Finishes: Natural paints- solvent borne plant based, water borne plantbased.
• Constructive elements: wood fibre boards, clay boards etc
• Papercrete and other concrete alternativeslike recycled aggregate
• Natural flooring

Flexible aerogel blanketSuper-Insulating Property
Nanometer-scale pores which less than 1/3000th of a human hair.
Extremely lightweight as low as 3 kg/m3 due to the porosity in excess of 90%.
Super-insulating property with k value of 0.014 W/mK at room temperature.
Good transparency.
VIPs have much lower U-value than conventional insulation materials and therefore the wallconstruction can be made thinner.
One analysis indicated that a traditional mineral wool or PU-foam insulation board withthickness of 185 or 120 mm is equivalent to VIP of only 20mm.
The vacuum inside the pore of the core material minimise the thermal conductivity.
A high barrier laminate covers the micro porous core of the VIP.

Too thick !
• calculation shows that VIPshave the lowest thickness
• Figure 4 illustrates thedifferent thickness betweenExpanded, Polyurethane (PIR)and VIP with outer brick andplaster to meet the CSH targetin 2016 for wall U-value (0.11W/(m2K)).
• With VIPs the wall thicknesscan be reduced by about
• 50% compared to EPS• 60% compared to PIR.
• Use of VIPs can make iteasier to improve the thermalinsulation in walls with minimaladditional thickness.
