Conversion of Residential Building into Green Building by using Thermal Properties of Cow Dung

Abstract

Abstract

This study focuses on converting a normal building with emission into a green building or zero emission building. The need of the green building is the need of the time. Building such things now would be more costly as conversion of the old buildings would be more profitable. Solar energy is one of the first resources that strike the mind after listening green building. Use of PV modules to fulfil the need has been focused in this paper. Using solar energy for fulfilling daily household needs is one of the major factors in making a house a green building. Another thing that has been focused in this paper is about the thermal comfort that is achieved by maintaining room temperature. Insulation was the major factor in doing this. Adding another layer of insulation in the walls of a house can prevent heat exchange from outside and thus helps in maintaining the temperature of room. And finally the reduced value of heat transfer coefficient was achieved along with the increased value of resistance.
