Idea To Discover New Green Civilization


Basically, the idea was to plan a build of an eco-friendly nature of society. We live in the most affected environment, so we discuss in this article about our old construction and civilization techniques and our eco-friendly environment.


GREEN BUILDING

A green building is more efficient for:

  • Less water usage
  • Maximized energy efficiency
  • Conservation of natural resources
  • Produces less trash
  • Provides healthier places for inhabitants than a standard structure


The Indian Green Building Council (IGBC)

It leads the country's green construction movement. Green buildings use resource- and ecologically aware strategies throughout their entire existence. The concept of "green buildings" seeks to minimize any negative impacts while enhancing any positive benefits a structure has on both its surroundings and its human occupants.


Certified Green Buildings in India

  • Suzlon One Earth, Pune
  • Rajiv Gandhi International Airport (RGIA), Hyderabad
  • CII-Sohrabji Godrej Green Business Centre, Hyderabad
  • Infinity Benchmark, Kolkata
  • Infosys Limited, Mysore
  • I-Gate Knowledge Centre, Noida
  • Wipro Technologies, Gurgaon


GREEN CONCRETE

Today we have the biggest problem facing society, which is pollution, mainly textile effluent causing pollution and disposal of waste effluent on free land, leading to groundwater contamination. The solution is to reduce groundwater contamination and effectively use textile waste effluent as a replacement for concrete. Textile effluent can be effectively removed by the sedimentation process.


Application of Green Concrete

  • The usage of sludge reduces the usage of sand.
  • Sludge can be used as an effective replacement for fine aggregate and can be replaced with 25% in concrete with the addition of fibers.
  • It is more economical, durable, and eco-friendly.


New Innovative Idea Approach of Green Concrete

As the textile industries face the problem of disposal of effluent wastages, the idea proposed is to alternate the conventional concrete. Effluent water affects the environment, such as land, rivers, sea, etc. Sludge is a great replacement for sand because sand is very expensive in the market nowadays. The textile sludge was found to contain zinc metal, which acts as a strong bond. The textile sludge acts as a replacement for sand in concrete, like lightweight concrete.


BAMBOO CONSTRUCTION

Bamboo is rarely used as a foundation material since it degrades quickly when exposed to moisture-laden surfaces. Bamboo is in intimate contact with the earth's surface. Bamboo is attached to rock or precast concrete footings, concrete, or composite bamboo columns, and bamboo piles.


Bamboo for Foundations

A structural material for column construction, bamboo is utilized in a variety of shapes and forms to construct foundations. Some of the most frequent bamboo shapes are:

Flattened Bamboo: Created by separating freshly cut bamboo stalks and rolling and flattening them.

Bamboo Mats: As thin as 5–6 mm or 10–15 mm in size, woven according to design specifications. Phenolic resins are utilized in buildings with bamboo mats.

A groundbreaking technique that combines bamboo fiber as a raw material with plastic as the core material.


RENEWABLE ENERGY RESOLUTION

Transitioning from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources is crucial for addressing climate change. Solar, wind, hydro, and geothermal power are all sustainable options that can greatly cut greenhouse gas emissions. For example, Germany's Energy Wind initiatives seek to generate 80% of its electricity from renewable sources by 2050. This ambitious project has achieved significant strides toward decarbonizing the energy sector, resulting in a favorable environmental impact.


ECO-FRIENDLY TERRACE

Plants can help filter the air and enhance air quality, which is especially useful in cities where air pollution is prevalent. Gardening has been demonstrated to offer several mental health advantages, including stress reduction and mood improvement. A terrace garden can be a pleasant, enjoyable place to relax and unwind. A well-kept terrace garden can boost the value of a home and make it more appealing to potential buyers or renters.


The idea of ‘green growth’ is flawed. So we have to find ways of using and wasting less energy. Despite massive investments in renewable electricity infrastructure, we have yet to increase the amount of renewable energy in total energy consumption. Electricity accounts for only 20% of our entire energy use. Renewable electricity has not replaced fossil fuels in most nations since our use grows faster than renewable generation. The problems with wanting to sustain industrial civilization are numerous, but the most pressing is that it is the root cause of our climate crisis and other environmental crises. If we continue to live life as usual—the underlying goal of the "green growth" concept—we will end up destroying the life-supporting capability of our planet.

The Quantum Puzzle: How Entanglement Ensures Unbreakable Security

  In the digital age, security is paramount. As we communicate more online, the need for unbreakable encryption grows. Enter quantum cryptography , a revolutionary field that leverages the power of quantum mechanics to ensure secure communication. Among the various concepts in quantum cryptography, quantum entanglement stands out as a game-changer. But how does it work, and why is it so secure? Let’s explore this intriguing concept through an example inspired by the movie Dhruva Natchathiram (Suduko puzzle secret codes) and break it down into simple terms. The Quantum Sudoku: A Cryptographic Secret Imagine you and your friend are sharing a secret code , but instead of using a traditional encryption key, you choose something as simple as a Sudoku puzzle . Now, picture that this Sudoku puzzle isn’t just an ordinary one—it's quantum entangled , linking your puzzle with your friend’s, no matter how far apart you are. Here’s how it works: 1.      The Entangled...

The Cancerous Manace Eroding India’s Glory- Corruption

           Corruption is a form of deception a major offence that is pioneered-by the person or society that is consigned by the position of dominion to procure aids or to exploit power for one’s sake.      The basic concept or fundamental root of the corruption is the usage of public sector for the private(individual) gain. It disintegrates the faith in public sector and organization for society.      Corruption is major threat to the entire world but it is the most mandatory in our today’s life. A small paper (sheet) money can provide you everything if you gave it is a bribe even it can give you more than you wanted in a illegal manner. Also throws the qualified person to the ground and makes the unqualified as qualified within a minute. Induces of corruption: 1. Deficiency of operative management and Insufficient Collaboration :      The concerned department are malfunctioning, non administrative and uncontrol...

Role Of Generative AI in Data Augmentation

  Introduction: With machine learning and AI being the standard today, data is the foundation of any successful model. However, big, quality datasets are not easily available because of privacy issues, lack of data, and the exorbitantly high cost involved. This is where Generative AI steps in and changes the paradigm of enriching and augmenting datasets with data augmentation. Generative AI-based data augmenting techniques help in improving the accuracy of models, reducing bias, and creating more robust AI systems. We will illustrate, in this blog, the use of generative AI in data augmenting, its techniques, its applications, and its benefits. What is Data Augmentation? Data augment...
