GREEN BUILDCON 2025

India is witnessing rapid growth in infrastructure development, making the construction industry one of the largest contributors to the national economy. However, with this growth comes a major challenge, the depletion of natural resources and the need to preserve the environment. The concept of Green Building is also known as sustainable or eco-friendly construction which focuses on creating structures that are environmentally responsible and resource-efficient throughout their entire life cycle: from design and construction to operation, maintenance, and renewal. Green buildings are designed to use less water, conserve energy, reduce waste, and create healthier living and working environments. They play a crucial role in addressing climate change and promoting sustainable urban development.

Modern green building materials are developed from industrial and agricultural by-products, helping reduce waste and carbon emissions. These include: Fly Ash, Construction & Demolition Waste, Industrial/Mining Waste, Red Mud, Agro Waste, Natural Fibres, FGD Gypsum, Geopolymer Cement, Bamboo, Engineered Wood and Waste Plastic Bricks.

Conference will have various Technical Sessions and Presentations like:

Fly Ash Bricks, AAC Blocks, EPS Panels
Fly Ash Clay Bricks – Energy Efficient Vertical Shaft Clay Fly Ash Brick Kilns
Fly Ash based Geopolymer – Green Building Materials, Geopolymer – Sand and Aggregates,
Geopolymer Concrete Roads
Fly Ash Based Engineered Stone – Substitute for Granite and Marble flooring using Fly Ash and Mining Industry Waste
Engineered wood from Bamboo and Energy plantations grown on waste land
M-sand from stone aggregates – a substitute for River Sand
Natural Fibre based Building Materials
Fly Ash–Steel Fibre pre-cast concrete products
Employment and Entrepreneurship Opportunities in fly ash-based products such as bricks, blocks and building materials
Value Extraction Technologies – recovery of alumina, silica, and rare earth elements (REEs)
