How does the incorporation of biodegradable materials supportthe broader goal of transitioning towards renewable energysystems in construction practices.? (Case study: Ashcrete) abstract

This paper explores the innovative integration of biodegradable materials,specifically focusing on "ashcrete," as a transformative approach in contemporary architectureto foster renewable and sustainable energy practices. As the global community grapples withthe escalating environmental challenges associated with traditional construction materials,there is a growing imperative to explore alternative solutions that mitigate ecological impact.Ashcrete, a material derived from the combustion residue of biomass or agricultural waste,emerges as a promising candidate due to its inherent biodegradability and potential to harnesssustainable energy sources.It begins by examining the environmental footprint of conventionalconstruction materials, emphasizing the detrimental effects on ecosystems, resource depletion,and carbon emissions. It then delves into the properties of ashcrete, highlighting its renewablenature, low carbon footprint, and adaptability to various architectural applications. The studyalso investigates the potential of ashcrete to act as a thermal mass, contributing to energyefficiency and reduced reliance on artificial heating and cooling systems. Furthermore, theresearch explores case studies and prototypes where ashcrete has been successfully employed,showcasing its viability in real-world architectural projects. The economic feasibility,scalability, and long-term durability of ashcrete are discussed, emphasizing its potential torevolutionize the construction industry by promoting a circular economy and reducing relianceon non-renewable resources.In conclusion, this paper posits that the integration of ashcrete inarchitecture serves as a crucial step towards achieving sustainability goals and fosteringrenewable energy practices. By embracing biodegradable materials, the architecturalcommunity can contribute significantly to the global transition towards a more ecologicallybalanced and resilient future. This research encourages architects, engineers, and policymakersto explore and adopt ashcrete and similar materials, paving the way for a paradigm shift in theconstruction industry's approach to renewable and sustainable energy.
