Sustainable Building Materials
Monday, October 17, 2011 - 5:03pm to 5:21pm
The purpose of this presentation is to review developments in masonry and polymeric building materials that
are identified as sustainable. Materials reported in reviewed journals, government reports and commercial
literature published since 2007 are reviewed. The anticipated results are trends in sustainable building material
usage in different locations in the United States and a few oversea countries, changes in the use of masonry, and usage of ploymers. Polymers includes synthetic and natural (biopolymers) materials.
The anticipated results should indicate future consumption of sustainable building materials and research needs.
