Abstract
Future generation materials are multi-dimensional, broadly, content involving future generation, social, environmental, and economic aspects for construction research. Even though many claims to the benefits that sustainable construction can bring, sustainable materials still seem not mainstreamed in the construction industry. This article provides a detailed overview on the subject of future generation materials and techniques for sustainable construction. Sustainable materials protect the environment, climate, and natural resources. A sustainable housing apartment uses less water, natural resources, and energy, creates little qty waste, and is beneficial for the humans residing in the building compared to a standard or conventional building. Future generation techniques provide suitable atmosphere by controlling temperature of solar radiations, conservation of water using domestic plant of treatment, energy efficiency, and quality of indoor air. This study examines all elements of future generation techniques such as plant for rainwater harvesting plant, plant for biogas, filtration of gray water, and cooling tunnel. Future generation materials come together as a vast number of exercises, skills, and techniques to eliminate the building’s impacts on the human health and environment. The Globe is in an urgent need of sustainability, and a smart future development as the pollution and global warming problem is rapidly increasing all over the world. This paper suggests some future generation materials and techniques to opt the concept of sustainable construction with minimum changes in cost needed for construction as compared to the conventional building.
