Abstract

In a country like India, where the temperature is considerably high, there is always a need for a solution to deal with the catastrophic heat. In order to achieve the reduction of high temperature, inside our houses, buildings, workspace, etc., the very basic and initial material need to be put under the microscope, i.e. concrete. Our project explains and elaborate that how can new innovative material in construction can help resolve the problem of catastrophic heat. We majorly are concentrating on Hydro-Ceramic & Bio-Brick. Hydro-Ceramic is a ceramic made out of clay and have a super absorbent polymer/Perlite added to it which absorbs water and release it when it is exposed to heat. Bio-brick is made of concrete with some chemicals & Perlite and bio waste chemicals added helps the bricks to strengthen and make them resolve heat problem. In both prototype the basic objective is to make new innovative materials which results into lowering the overall temperature of the room or surrounding.
