Feasibility of Polyurethane Panel in Building Construction

Ms Ashima, Sumedha Dua

Abstract


Buildings are the highest consumer of energy in most of the countries that make up to 40% of the total energy use. Since till now developing countries like India depends upon nonrenewable source of power generation, the booming construction industry contributes significantly in climate change through energy consumption in heating/cooling of built environment. Thus, focusing on building envelope material and sustainable technology is of utmost importance to reduce energy wastage due to inefficient performance of building envelope. This study explores one of the emerging sustainable PUF sandwich panel properties, considering the important criteria that make it eligible to be stated as a “sustainable” material.
