A Study of Cost-effective Building Materials and construction techniques for warm and humid climate in India
Chapter 4 Materials 4.1Parameters for Material Selection : The structure's current pattern is pre-construction, building, and post-building stages. Each step of the building should be designed with the purpose of preserving energy. These three phases show how construction materials evolve through the various stages of a structure. The pre-building step consists mostly of assembly, which is divided into preparation, pressing, and transport. The structural stage consists mostly of development, activity, maintenance, and elimination.

4.1.1 Environment Friendly The assembling of building components should be done in a comfortable environment. Attempts should be made to investigate and improve the technologies for offering high-quality assembly. effective structural materials and should reduce waste generated during production 4.1.2 Recycled Waste Reusable waste can be used in masons, while wooden waste can be employed in the assembly of compressed wood or delicate sheets. 4.1.3 Use of Natural Low Cost The absolute energy required to make material is referred to as basic energy. The more the contained energy of a substance, the greater the exploitation of non - inexhaustible sources. As a result, it is advantageous to use materials or composite materials derived from waste. 4.1.4 Locally Available building materials The use of local resources reduces dependency on transportation, whose commitment to the structural material expense is large across long distances. The use of locally available construction materials reduces development costs while also being environmentally responsible
