Abstract

In this polluted world, conservation of energy has become the necessary factor to save the ecological balance of the environment. A seminar

was organised by ACCE ( Association of consulting civil engineers) to give solution for this problem. The chief guest Mr.R.Sundaram,

Int.President,SEWC addressed on 'Green building concept' on minimization of cement concrete.

Associate members of Saint Gobain , Mr.Rajil and Mr.Antony Santhosh presented about the 'Green Building Concept regularization of ECBC - LEED Rating

Systems (US Green building council/Indian Green building council)'In this they have mentioned about the heat absorbing glasses and which is used to

reduce 80% of the heat.

The information about the 'Energy auditing' was wonderfully presented by Mr.Lawrence,Vice president,Tata consulting services - E Serve,Chennai.

An energy saving product called 'Glass Fibre' which is used as hollow partition walls, it was presented by Dr.Cosima Klinger-Paul,Managing Director,

M/S Lamilux India pvt.ltd., New Delhi

Mr.S.Muthukumar, Regional Manager, Wienerberger Brick industry(P)Ltd., Bangalore, presented the 'Specification of Energy Efficient clay hollow

Bricks', whose performance rate is high inside buildings.

'Energy efficient buildings using sandwich insulated panels',i.e., presence of foam between two layers of steel mainly used in industrial application

reduces heat inside the building.It was presented by Mr.Anup Kumar Dave,Managing Director, M/S Metecno India (P)Ltd.,Chennai.

Factors that are to be considered when we construct an 'Energy Efficient & Green Buildings'.And also the factors such as 'Air Ventillation & Roof

distribution system'. It was presented by Mr.N.Sridhar,Managing Director, Blaze Beam Corporation,Chennai.

Finally all the staff members and the students of the civil engineering were given a participation certificate.
