Abstract

Urbanization is taking place in India at a faster rate which leads to high housing demand. The same is achieved by conventional construction method which consumes time, material and high energy resources. The world is also facing natural resources and energy crisis. Hence, for better natural resource optimization, it is imperative to adopt such construction methodologies and materials which reduce the construction cost, CO2 emission, and at the same time speedy construction with least energy needs. To overcome given problems, researches have been done throughout the world in recent past, and many advanced materials and technologies are developed. One such advanced construction methodology is developed using expanded polystyrene sheet, i.e., EPS. This research paper aims at exploring all the possible selection indicators contributing to sustainability and evaluation of EPS core panel system with wire mesh and chipping concrete, based on a real-time case study of a housing project in Bhubaneswar, Odisha (India), based on various parameters such as structural safety and durability, seismic analysis, cost effectiveness and ease in construction and maintenance.
