Less usage of sand and cement.
•
Less labour usage.
Use of Eco friendly raw materials. 20% more cooling effect.
How it is effected to construction industry and to save mother Earth .. The use of SMART Eco Bricks can be considered as an alternative to the conventional burnt bricks and cement sand blocks. With the energy crisis and global warming possibilities, it is of importance to ensure that every new material promotes sustainable construction practices. Some of the key parameters that can be used for comparison purposes can be categorized as follows. a. Embodied energy b. Operational energy c. The Maintenance cost d. The salvage value
Embodied energy can be defined as the energy needed for processing the raw materials including transportation, energy needed for producing the final product or component and assembling them. Since the raw materials are prepared using simple

processes such as sieving, mixing etc., the main component of embodied energy comes
conditions, they can be stabilized easily with low cement contents such as 10 per cent. Therefore, it is possible to limit the embodied energy to lower levels. The SMART Eco Bricks materials are generally produced using machines. Thus, there is a strong possibility to complete walls with a neat finish with a possibility to eliminate both internal and external plasters. The reduction in the materials and processes needed to complete a wall is also a very effective way of reducing the embodied energy. The operational energy mainly consists of the energy needed for providing adequate thermal comfort. The SMART Eco Bricks and blocks can provide a wall that is comparable with conventional materials such as burned clay bricks. Thus, it is expected to have a similar performance in both air conditioned and free running buildings. The SMART Eco Bricks can be manufactured to have sufficient strength so that maintenance can be kept to a minimum. The salvage value of SMART Eco Bricks can be similar to burnt clay bricks. Since they can be used over very long durations such as 50 to 100 years. Salvage valve is generally not considered as an important parameter for comparison purposes. These facts indicate the SMART Eco Bricks can provide a performance that is comparable with or better than most of the conventional building materials such as burnt

clay bricks, cement sand blocks finished with external and internal plasters.
How it is support to Quick and Easy to construction..... SMART Eco Bricks is bigger than the Normal Burned brick. Therefore SMART Eco
Bricks take a less time to construct a square foot

Not Necessary to Plastering SMART Eco Bricks have Interlocking Facility. Therefore not necessary to laid of a thick mortar layer. 300 Bricks can be laid one labor per day. Convenience in plumbing and electrical pipe laying. Availability of different types of bricks (Full Bricks, Three Quarter Bricks, Half Bricks, Lintel Bricks, Socket Outlet Bricks, Side Bricks)
How it is support to reduce the Construction cost...... Saving in cement and sand cost SMART Eco Bricks have Interlocking Facility. Therefore not necessary to laid of a thick mortar layer. Minimum cost for plumbing and electrical pipe laying. Not Necessary to Plastering. But it gives a smart appearance. Control the warm inside the building, therefore saving Electricity cost.

Due to the easy and quick construction, it gives a minimum labour involvement.
What happen it expose to the rain..... As normal burned bricks and cement blocks, SMART Eco Bricks also leakage when they expose to the rain. We can avoid it, using following methods, for internal walls. •
Apply weather shield paint
•
Use colorless water repellents
•
By using cement soil paint
•
By using silicon based paint
•
White wash (lime wash)
•
By using suitable varnish
•
Plastering to walls
Plastered walls and painted walls
•
Apply paint only
•
Apply the filler and painted walls
