Country	:	India
Authors	:	Parasram Pandit || Sanjay Sharma || Himmi Gupta

Abstract: In the present scenario, there is a huge difference between energy demand and production. The building sector consumes 30% of global energy and is responsible for 36% of total carbon dioxide emissions. In recent years,high emphasis has been given to the reduction of energy consumption and the carbon footprint by optimizing the performance and resource utilization of buildings to achieve sustainable development.The design of building in the future will be performance-based, So the different components of building according to their contribution to energy consumption can be optimized. Building envelopes (roof, wall, and glazing) contributiontoHeating ventilation and air conditioning(HVAC) load is around 28 % of the total electricity consumption in a building. This is further reduced by the right balance between the different types of envelope according to the dynamics of building, size......

Title	:	Analysis of Energy Simulation Softwares to Enhance Energy Efficiency of New and Existing Buildings
Country	:	India
Authors	:	Aditya Punia || Sanjay Sharma || Poonam Syal

Abstract: Buildings consume nearly one third of the total annual electrical energy consumed in the country and are one of the largest contributors, second only to industrial sector to greenhouse gas emissions. Energy demand is expected to grow aggressively in the coming years with rising population and technology intensive lifestyles. So, to ensure that this demand is met in a sustainable way, it is necessary to make the buildings extremely energy efficient and curb the energy footprints associated with them. This can be achieved by using energy modelling/simulation for all the upcoming buildings and also for existing buildings to provide retrofitting measures to make them more energy efficient. The suitability of a given tool or software for energy simulation will vary depending on specific needs and.....

Title	:	Optimization of Biodiesel Production Parameters Using Bauhinia variegate oil
Country	:	India
Authors	:	G.N. Dayananda || K.V.Yathish || D.G. Kantharaj || B.R.Omkaresh || E.C. Manjunath

Abstract: Response surface methodology (RSM) was adopted in which the optimal conditions were determined for the biodiesel production from Bauhinia variegate oil (BVO) employing central composite design (CCD). A total of 30 experiments were conducted to study the effect of methanol to oil molar ratio, reaction time, reaction temperature and catalyst loading on the biodiesel yield. A yield of 94.1% of Bauhinia variegate methyl ester (BVME/biodiesel) was obtained at optimum conditions: 6.86:1 molar ratio, 65.46 min reaction time, 1.08 wt.% catalyst concentration (KOH), 60.38 °C temperature and constant agitation speed (650 rpm). The fuel properties of the biodiesel were determined employing the ASTM test method.

Title	:	Review of Aluminium Composites and Its Reinforcements
Country	:	India
Authors	:	Prashanth B || Yogesh B || Dr. N B Doddapattar || Vijaykumar M Patil

Abstract: The demand for better, improved and efficient materials has increased many folds over the recent years. In this regard, Aluminium Metal Matrix Composites have gained considerable traction as an alternative for conventional materials. Reinforced AMMCs have been researched extensively with an additive to improve specific properties based on the application. The main applications of AMMCs are in Engineering sectors like automotive, aerospace, marine and electronics. Based on the application, the mechanical and tribological properties of the AMMCs are improved by the addition of commercially available reinforcements like Al2O3, SiC, TiC, SiO2, B4C and other silicon-based reinforcements. A review of the Aluminium composites, methods of manufacturing and reinforcements used are discussed with an account of the research work done by other researchers.

Country	:	India
Authors	:	A M Mulla || Umesh C Jangamashetti || Vijaykumar M Patil

Abstract: In present day it is necessary to optimize the heat transfer characteristic of heat exchangers, as heat exchangers are universal equipments which are used in day to day life, in industry, home appliances, transportations and power production units. Thermal characteristics are studied for the tube in the shell and tube heat exchanger working with water as working fluid for two different configurations of twisted tape.1)Twisted tapes and 2)Soldered wire wound inserts(wire wound wire matrix). Experiment was carried out by using these two types of inserts on the tube side. This project work deals with laminar flow in the tube side; Re varies from 200 to 600. Experiment carried out by maintaining the constant tube wall temperature with tube flow rate and shell flow constant. Twisted tapes used in this experiment have 2.2 twist ratio, and. The heat transfer and pressure drop in case of twisted tape and Soldered wire wound inserts with baffles are found to increase by 110 to 120% and 130 to 140% respectively compared to that of plain tube.

Authors	:	NARENDRA A || Dr L PINKY DEVI

Abstract: Building Information Modelling (BIM) is methodology that is increasingly used in the domain of Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry. Building information modeling (BIM) enables architecture, engineering, and construction managers to evaluate the performance of green buildings duringpreconstruction. BIM-based sustainable analysis extracts the data from a building model, which supports the assessment for green building certification. This paper presents a review of over recent research to identify the key of elements of awareness, benefits, challenges and strategies and implementation of BIM.

Country	:	India
Authors	:	B Yogesh || Vijaykumar M Patil || Ananda Babu

Abstract:There is a limited reserve of the fossil fuels and the world has already faced the energy crisis and uncertainties in their supply. Fossil fuels are currently the dominant global source of emissions and their combustion is posing stronger threat to clean environment . Alternative fuels, also known as non-conventional fuels, are any materials or substances that can be used as a fuel, other than conventional fuels of coal petroleum products etc. The term "alternative fuels" usually refers to a source of which energy is renewable. Some well known alternative fuels include biodiesel, ethanol, butanol, chemically stored electricity (batteries and fuel cells), hydrogen, methane, natural gas, wood, vegetable oil and biomass.
Alternative fuels developed from renewable feedstock's are gaining.....

Abstract: Building and construction is one of the major industries around the world. In this fast moving life construction industry is also growing rapidly. But the labours in the construction industry are not sufficient. This insufficient labour's in the construction industry is because of the difficulty in the work. In construction industry, during the work in tall buildings or in the sites where there is more risky situation like interior area in the city. There are some other reasons for the insufficient labour which may be because of the improvement the education level which cause the people to think that these types of work is not as prestigious as the other jobs

Abstract: Tribological properties of any substance give an overview of the life of the substance with respect to its application. Here an attempt is made to investigate the effect of parameters of wear test equipment considering the material type on the wear rate of different composition of hybrid MMC considered. Al6061 is considered as the base matrix and Boron 2wt% and Graphite 2wt% are considered as the reinforcement to develop the hybrid MMC with the traditional technique of stir casting. As the work deals with optimization process the design of experiments is done through Taguchi technique considering L27 orthogonal array with the varying parameters (input) as material (combination of Al-B, Al-Gr and Al-B-Gr), load and speed, to analyze the effects on wear rate as the response. A wear test was performed using.....
