Construction Industry: major contributor towards Energy consumption and carbon emission

Image
  Recently “2021 global status report for building and construction” has been published under the UN environment programme. Most important information of the report is that construction sector is responsible for 37% of global Carbon emissions and 36% of global energy consumption. As per the report major reason behind this trend is the lack of real transformation in the sector and this in turn contributing to dangerous climate change. Since the signing of the Paris agreement in 2015, CO2 emissions from the buildings and construction sector have increased and subsequently fallen in 2020. This current decline is due mostly to the COVID-19 pandemic, whereas transformative, long-term progress in sector decarbonizing remains limited. In 2015, the construction and operation of buildings was responsible for 38 per cent (13.1 gigatons) of global energy-related carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) emissions.   B uilding plan approval bhubaneswar By 2020, CO 2 emissions in the sector had fallen an es...

Critical Path Method

  Creating a project roadmap helps you visualize what you need to do in order to achieve the desired goal. Critical method helps in creating the construction road map. This is a construction management technique that involves mapping out key or basic activities that are required for completing a business along with their timelines. Thus, also helps in identifying critical activities in the project which will majorly decide project success criteria. Project KPIs will include timeline, budget expenditure, resource uses etc. The critical path of construction management is the longest set of tasks that must be completed in time to complete the project. Delay in these tasks will lead to failure in on time project delivery. CPM can provide valuable insight on how to plan projects, allocate resources, and schedule tasks.  Use of CPM provides a holistic idea of a project to the planner before execution, this can be used in improving:  Future planning optimisation: Through target...

Compositions of Concrete

Image
Concrete is a composite material prepared by mixing binder, aggregate, water and admixtures in specified portions to gain a particular strength. There are two different methods through which composition percentages are decided, Nominal mix design and design mix design. These methods are framed after multiple laboratory experiments and theoretical studies. Basis for calculation in both the methods remains mostly same as strength of concrete. These parameters are fixed in the beginning and proportions are calculated considering through suitable methods. Concretes are divided into multiple types based on their Compressive strengths and denoted as M25, M30 etc. M 25 represents concrete type with 25 MPA of compressive strength commercial architects in bhubaneswar . In the nominal mix concrete , all the ingredients and their proportions are prescribed in the standard specifications. The mix proportions like 1:1.5:3, 1:2:4, 1:3:6 etc. (cement: fine aggregate: coarse aggregate) are adopted in ...

Application of Augmented Reality (AR) in Infrastructure Sector

Image
  Every sector in the world is adopting multiple new technologies to improve their efficiency. It can be improved in various ways like reduction in delivery timeline, reduction in errors, cost reduction, easy decision making and etc. Augment reality is one of the unique technologies in the current scenario which can give solution to all the above-mentioned efficiency factors. Customers in infrastructure sector (Architecture and construction to be specific) are facing these problems mostly cost and timeline overrun frequently, so AR technology can be the game changer and will be next big thing in the sector architects bhubaneswar . From architecture point of view, it is always difficult to design after adopting all the requirements and next is convincing them. This happens due to the communication gap between architect and the customer, gap is in terms of the difference in visualization of the future project. Which leads to delay in decision making, micro errors in the design, delay...
