Assymmetrical development and urban Agglomeration issues in Shilong
Abstract: Abstract: The expansion of the hill city of Shillong has sprawled into an urban agglomeration that lacks organised urban management with a population that is not as well served through development schemes as the core municipal area. Over the past few decades, growth in the Municipal area has gradually decreased as population density has overshot acceptable limits. At the same time, new Census towns have enlarged the urban agglomeration with …

Fly Ash-based Geopolymer Concrete
Abstract: To reduce greenhouse gas emissions, efforts are needed to develop eco-friendly construction materials. In geopolymer concrete, a by-product material rich in silicon and aluminum, such as low-calcium (American Society for Testing and Materials 618 Class F) fly ash, is chemically activated by a high-alkaline solution to form a paste that binds the loose coarse and fine aggregates, and other unreacted materials in the mixture. The test results show the effects …

“Challenges in energy retrofitting of Buildings”
Abstract: With a 23% contribution to CO2 emissions, 17% to electricity consumption, and 16% to water use, the building sector has emerged as the largest energy user and greenhouse gas emitter. The majority of energy is consumed by existing structures, while the replacement rate of existing buildings by new-build is only approximately 1.0-3.0% per year, hence the main focus needs to be directed to the existing building stock in both developed …

Climatic Control and Energy Conservation through Landscape Design
Abstract: Buildings consume significant large amount of energy for cooling, heating, ventilation and lighting in buildings to create desirable thermal comfort conditions. Increasing consumption of energy has led to environmental pollution resulting in global warming and ozone layer depletion and subsequently having climate change. Hence to reduce the emission of greenhouse gases, caused by fossil fuels to power the operational energy requirement of the buildings has stimulated the interest towards adoption …
