Liquid Waste Management Techniques

Image
 Nowadays, their are lots of liquid waste produced by kitchen and water-closet. Here I explain two methods for dump your waste in a eco-friendly way.  1.       Soakage pit system A soak pit, also known as a soak away or leach pit, is a covered, porous-walled chamber that allows water to slowly soak into the ground. Feasibility: Houses without adequate space for kitchen garden. Construction: House owner can construct the pit himself by getting the information of the design. The soak pit should be between 1.5 and 4 m deep, but as a rule of thumb, never less than 2 m above the groundwater table. It should be located at a safe distance from a drinking water source.   Operation & Maintenance: Filter to be cleaned every fortnight or month, depending on accumulation of dirt.   Make a hook of thick wire and pierce it in the filter and take filter media out and clean/wash it and dry and replace it in the earthen pot. Soak pit l...

Global Warming

Global warming is considered in the top of the discussion in the world. And it is the kind of issue that is talked by geologists most of the time. Global warming affects the natural balance of the environment .          Day by day earth is getting warmer. And when the earth’s atmosphere absorbs the sun’s heat, global warming occurs. And this changes in the atmosphere increases very rapidly. The temperature of the atmosphere and the natural gases are the main reasons why earth inhabits all of its life. There are many causes of global warming. The base and most important reasons for this is the increasing population greatly. Due to increasing human population, the necessities such as a place to live, a place to work, things to eat and so on. And so the destruction and burning of tropical forests traffic blocking up the city streets, the rapid growth of unplanned industries, the use of CFCs in packaging and manufacturing, deforestation is t...

HVAC system (Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning)

Image
HVAC Systems are playing an important part of any building’s construction and it makes construction sustainable, which will be helpful for making, our environment clean and superior. The three central functions of heating, ventilation, and air conditioning are interrelated, especially with the need to provide thermal comfort and acceptable indoor air quality within reasonable installation, operation, and maintenance costs.  Systems help in controlling the humidity and air superiority to provide a relaxed indoor environment. Here, I write the different methods and techniques of sustainable construction, we can use these in any type of building and maintain the good environment and save energies for our forthcoming generation. I compare four different types of HVAC systems most frequently used in residential and commercial buildings. Split HVAC: The machinery of these conventional HVAC systems i...

Sustainable Energy

Image
Sustainable energy is  energy that is utilized at trivial rates compared to its supply and with widely collateral effects, chiefly environmental effects . There are many ways to use renewable energy such as solar energy, tidal power, wind energy, wave power, geothermal energy, biomass and bio fuels,  and  hydroelectricity. Nowadays, in the  environment,  there are many types of pollution and they actually harm the environment. Increasing rate of using fossil fuels by people and industries. We generally don’t know about the how much energy we use in an actual day. However, we will use the  same  energy that we already used in the  exact  day but in a  different  way and that will  make  the  environment  healthier and sustainable.        I explain the  alternative  way to use renewable  energy   rather  than  fossil  fuels. So there  is  ...
