Abstract
In this modern age of the construction industry, the building sector has consumed around 35–50% of energy. Sustainable development has therefore become an essential factor to reduce the impact on the environment. The traditional brick used as a walling material has been a major contributor to the environmental adversity so finding an alternative has become the need of the hour. In this paper, the comparative analysis of various walling materials is done to determine the most suitable and sustainable one. The analysis is done using Building information modelling (BIM). The comparison is carried out by creating a 3D building model in Revit 2019. The sun-path analysis, heating and cooling load analysis, Wind analysis and shading/lighting analysis are performed. Technical, social, environmental, and economic aspects are also considered for comparative analysis. Analytic hierarchy process (AHP) is used as the decision-making process to determine the best walling material. The comparative analysis concludes that walling materials using waste are useful for achieving the goal of sustainable solution.
