Architectural science can look at ways to avoid waste and upcycle by products. It aims to fuse the technical aspects of a building with art and science. According to Lokko who is an assistant professor at the Yale School of Architecture, high performance building materials that are ecologically friendly can be used to tackle humidity control, indoor air improvement, and water quality control issues.<\/p>\n<p>Lokko further explained that husks are \u2018durable additives\u2019 that could potentially replace wood and other traditional building materials. It is also a fantastic replacement for Styrofoam that is used for insulation and other acoustic applications. Builders can use coconut husks can for ceilings and roofs. Because they are good desiccants, they are useful in controlling humidity and indoor air pollutants.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to coconut husks, there are other agricultural crop waste materials that can be transformed into building materials. For example, sugarcane bagasse ash (SCBA) is a byproduct of burning agri waste. It can be used to replace cement in concrete production. Sugarcane bagasse fibers are also identified as a sustainable building material possessing thermal and acoustic qualities. Bamboo leaves ashes may be used as pozzolan or partial replacement of cement. Cement use is reduced if it is included in the mixture. Evidently, the strength of the mixture must be acceptable so as not to compromise the stability of the structure or building.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/wasteadvantagemag.com\/agricultural-waste-can-be-used-in-architecture-and-as-building-materials\/\">Waste Advantage Magazine<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/1-368\/\">Agricultural Waste Can Be Used in Architecture and as Building Materials<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[6183,2171,575],"class_list":["post-114412","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-agricultural-waste","tag-building","tag-environmental-news-en"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/114412","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=114412"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/114412\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=114412"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=114412"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=114412"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
