Title:          Environmental comparison between stone and brick chips construction
Authors:    Md. Shahrior Alam, Syed Ishtiaq Ahmad
Abstract:   This paper will show the environmental impact of a construction building and change of material willchange the consumption of energy and carbon dioxide (CO2) emission .Here mainly the emission of carbon dioxide(CO2) is taken into consideration. The impact of global warming due to climate change is adverse for a river surrounded country like Bangladesh. We compare the use of stone and brick chips construction and find out overall impact of that material in construction. This paper categorically estimates the carbon dioxide (CO2) emission from typically building plans for its construction life which hopefully helps us in guiding the reduction of carbon dioxide emission from a building. This research also focuses on the comparison of carbon dioxide (CO2) emission from different construction materials of same quantity and comes out with a conclusion that use of bricks produces 3 times more emission than stones. This necessitates the using of alternate materials to achieve environment friendly green building with lesser emission of greenhouse gas like carbon dioxide (CO2).
