The country is going to get a new technology to build houses “ for the poor and the middle class. In technical parlance, you call it the Light House Project. I believe these six projects are really like light towers. These six light house projects would give a new direction to the housing construction in the country. The coming together of states from the east-west, north-south and every region of the country is further strengthening our sense of cooperative federalism. These light house projects will be constructed through modern technology and innovative processes. This will reduce the construction time and prepare the more resilient, affordable and comfortable homes for the poor. In a way, these projects will be incubation centres and our planners, architects, engineers and students will be able to learn and experiment with new technology. ” Narendra Modi Prime Minister of India 1.1.2021

1. Background The Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs (MoHUA) is implementing Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana-Urban (PMAY-U) Mission, one of the largest public housing programs in the world, with a goal of providing all weather pucca houses to all eligible urban families by 2022. Against an assessed demand of 1.12 crore houses, so far over 1.08 crore have been sanctioned; out of this over 72 lakh have been grounded for construction and nearly 42 lakh have been completed and delivered to the beneficiaries. Under PMAY(U), a Technology Sub-Mission (TSM) has been set up with an aim to provide sustainable technological solutions for faster & cost-effective construction of houses suiting to geo-climatic and hazard conditions of the country”. TSM promotes adoption of modern, innovative & green technologies and building material for faster and quality construction of houses. It also facilitates for preparation and adoption of layout designs and building plans suitable for various geo-climatic zones.

The Country being in development phase, massive construction activities are undergoing and planned in all the States/UTs for creating affordable shelters & related infrastructures. Traditionally, houses in the country are constructed using conventional technology as in-situ reinforced cement concrete (RCC) frame & burnt clay brick masonry. With the massive construction requirement & taking into consideration the important factors such as fast depleting natural resources, achieving Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) & international commitments to reduce Carbon Dioxide emissions, there is urgent need to find alternate, sustainable and resource efficient solutions. Globally, there has been technological advancement in the area of building materials and fast track prefabricated/pre-engineered construction practices. However, the use of alternate construction technologies in our country is in a limited extent so far. Hence, there was a need to look for new emerging, disaster- resilient, environment-friendly, cost-effective and speedy construction technologies which would form the basis of housing construction in India. Hon’ble Prime Minister envisaged a paradigm shift through technology transition using large scale construction under PMAY(U) as an opportunity to get the best available construction technologies across the globe. In the light of above, MoHUA initiated Global Housing Technology Challenge India (GHTC-India) in January, 2019 which aimed to identify and mainstream globally best available proven construction technologies that are sustainable, green and disaster resilient through a challenge process which could bring a paradigm shift in construction practices for housing sector.

2. Construction Scenario in India

Housing for All by 2022 is the firm resolve of the Government to provide pucca shelter to each household of India and is a humble beginning towards building New India. The number of housing units that need to be constructed are huge. There is a requirement of 11.2 million dwelling units in urban areas by 2022. Also, construction sector is emerging as third largest sector globally to take India towards $5 trillion economy.

Conventionally, houses are built with traditional materials, i.e., burnt clay bricks, cement, sand, aggregates, stones, timber & steel. Sand and aggregates are already in short supply and due to irrational mining,it is banned in number of states in India. Burnt clay bricks use top fertile soil as raw material and also, its production makes use of coal, a fossil fuel. Cement and steel are also energy intensive materials and produced from natural resource, i.e., limestone rock and iron ores respectively. Further, the construction requires clean drinking water which is already in short supply even for drinking.

The way out is: i. To make use of alternate materials which are based on renewable resources & energy ii. Optimize the use of conventional materials by bringing mechanization in the construction iii. Utilize agricultural & industrials waste in producing building materials.

In conventional method, the materials are gathered at the site and then construction takes place by laying bricks layer by layer to construct walls and pouring concrete over steel cages (reinforcement) to make floors, vertical members, i.e., columns and horizontal members i.e. beams through a labour intensive process with little control on quality of finished product. Also, this construction process is slow paced. Further, in being cast in situ construction, there is ample wastage of materials and precious resources and at the same time there is enormous dust generated polluting the air. Therefore, there is need to bring construction methodologies which impart speed to the construction, bring in optimum use of materials, cut down wastages and produce quality product.

In today’s context, a few more terms have become significant with construction and need to be dovetailed with future construction practices. These are sustainability, climate responsiveness and disaster resilience. The construction industry poses a major challenge to the environment. As per the UN Environment Programme (UNEP), more than 30% of global greenhouse gas emissions are building related and emissions could double by 2050 on a business-as-usual scenario. As per report of the Green Rating for Integrated Habit Assessment (GRIHA), globally, buildings consume about 40% of energy, 25% of water and 40% of resources. In addition, building activities contribute an estimated 50% of the world’s air pollution, 42% of its greenhouse gases, 50% of all water pollution, 48% of all solid wastes and 50% of all CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons) to the environment.

Further, disasters due to natural hazards i.e. earthquakes, cyclones, floods, tsunamis and landslides have been happening with ascending frequency and effects. Every year due to faulty construction practices and bad performance of built environment during disasters, there are not only heavy economic losses but also losses of precious lives of humans leaving irrevocable impact on human settlements and therefore, disaster- resilient construction is also paramount.

In view of the above, it is obvious that construction sector requires a paradigm shift from traditional construction systems by bringing innovative construction systems which are resource-efficient, environmentally responsible, climate responsive, sustainable, disaster-resilient, faster, structurally & functionally superior. These kinds of systems are being practiced world over successfully and have shown their versatility through the passage of time.

3. Innovative Construction Technologies: Salient Features i. Resource Efficiency A conventional building tends to focus on the use of basic materials namely cement, bricks, sand, aggregates, steel which are based on natural resources. Also, there is over dependence on fossil fuels for production & transportation. These natural resources are finite and cannot be replenished quickly. Also, their extraction and manufacturing have direct and indirect consequences on environment & energy requirements and pose danger to our planet in terms of greenhouse gas emissions, land & air pollution etc. Therefore, natural resources are to be used efficiently which is one of the key features of alternate construction systems as they employ industrial techniques to produces building components and use cement, steel and other aggregates optimally. The other feature of alternate construction systems is to make use of renewable resources. ii. Structural Design Efficiency The alternate systems follow the path of optimization. Right from the concept & design stage, the building components, including structural configuration, is designed in a manner to optimize the performance. The performance-based design instead of prescriptive design philosophy is the key for design efficiency while dealing with these alternate construction systems. iii. Disaster Resilience The alternate construction systems are designed to be resilient in terms of natural hazards as it entails performance-based design of buildings. iv. Cost & Payoff The most criticized issue about alternate construction systems is the price. The stigma is betweenthe knowledge of up-front cost vis-à-vis life cycle cost. The cost of a building is defined as follows: Total Cost = Initial construction cost + Running cost during life of building + disposal cost (This is also known as life-cycle cost)

Most of the time, the criterion in selection of technology is cost per m2, which is initial cost and can be incongruous if green aspects are to be considered. The buildings with alternate systems may cost 10-15% higher initially as of now (It can also be questioned as today these systems require initial push but once mainstreamed the initial cost will also be equivalent to cost of conventional construction) but will be less by couple of times over the entire life of the building. During the life span of a building, the financial payback will exceed the additional initial cost of using alternate systems several times. And broader benefits, such as reductions in greenhouse gases (GHGs) and other pollutants have large positive impacts on surrounding communities and on the planet. v. Energy Efficiency Alternate construction systems often include measures to reduce energy consumption, i.e., the embodied energy required to extract, process, transport and install building materials and the operating energy to provide services such as heating and power for equipment. The buildings with alternate systems use less operating energy, embodied energy. These buildings will have a lower embodied energy than those built primarily with brick, mortar, concrete, or steel. vi. Water Efficiency The conventional construction systems primarily are cast-in-situ reinforced concrete systems which require large quantity of potable water for curing and most of the time, the water of curing go waste. The new systems employ better techniques of curing such as pressurized curing, chemical curing etc. which help in conserving the water during construction.

5 Ministry of Housing & Urban Affairs, Govt. of India vii. Material Efficiency Building materials are typically considered to be sustainable if they are based on renewable/waste resources and can be reusable and recyclable. Most of the alternate construction systems either make use of industrial waste, renewable resources, energy efficient building materials or optimize the use of basic raw materials, i.e., cement, sand, aggregates, steel consumption. For example, The Glass Fiber Reinforced Gypsum (GFRG) panels make use of phospho-gypsum which is a by-product of fertilizer plant, sandwich panels make use of EPS beads which are energy efficient. viii. Indoor Environmental Quality Enhancement The Indoor Environmental Quality refers to providing comfort, well-being, and productivity of occupants. Indoor Air Quality seeks to reduce volatile organic compounds, or VOCs, and other air impurities such as microbial contaminants. The alternate systems employ construction materials and interior finish products with zero or low VOC emissions during the design and construction process which enhance indoor air quality. Also, well- insulated and tightly sealed envelope reduce moisture problems which often leads to dampness. ix. Operation & Maintenance Optimization The construction systems identified are based on factory made building components which are manufactured with high precision under strict quality control and therefore, more durable, requiring no or minimum maintenance. The alternate technologies are industrial products having SOPs for building’s Operations and Maintenance (O&M). x. Waste Reduction Alternate construction systems not only seek to reduce waste of energy, water and materials used during construction but also generate less construction & demolition waste after completion of the building. Well- designed buildings also help reduce the amount of waste generated by the occupants. When buildings reach the end of their useful life, they are typically demolished and disposed to landfills. In case of alternate systems, most of the deconstructed components can be reclaimed into useful building materials.

Technology Details

A. INTRODUCTION Light Gauge Steel Framed Structure with Infill Concrete Panels (LGSFS-ICP) Technology is an innovative emerging building and construction technology using factory made Light Gauge Steel Framed Structure (LGSFS), light weight concrete and precast panels. The LGS frame is a “C” cross-section with built in notch, dimpling, slots, service holes etc. produced by computerized roll forming machine. These frames are assembled using metal screws to form into LGSF wall and roof structures of a building. Provisions for doors, windows, ventila- tors and other cutouts as required are incorporated in the LGSFS.

Fig.1 Structural Details of LGSFS-Infill Concrete Wall The LGS frames are manufactured in a factory and assembled in to LGSF wall structures and then transported to the construction site and erected wall by wall on a pre-built concrete floor as per the floor plan of the building. Steel reinforced concrete panels of size 800mm X300mm X20mm thick are manufactured at factory and transported to site. These panels are fixed on either side of the LGSFS wall using self-drilling/tapping screws to act as outer and inner faces of the wall leaving a gap between them. This gap is then filled with light weight concrete using a special mixing and pumping machine. Electrical and plumbing pipes/conduits are provided in the service holes of the LGSFS before concreting is done. Self-compacting concrete is mixed and pumped into the gaps between two panels. The concrete flows and fills the gap and provides adequate cover to the LGS frames and joints. The concrete shall also adhere to the concrete panels. After curing, LGSFS with in-fill concrete and panels (LGSFS-ICP) forms a monolithic sandwich composite wall structure with thermal and sound insulation properties.

The roof structure of LGSFS-ICP building is constructed using metal/plastic formwork system with steel reinforced concrete as per structural design. Standard procedures are employed to concrete the roof slab. After curing for 96 h, the formwork is de-moulded and the wall and roof are putty finished. Door and window frames are fixed to the LGS frames and shutters fixed with necessary accessories. Finishing work such as -lay ing floor tiles, fixing electrical and sanitary fixtures and painting is carried out using standard conventional methods.

After completion of ground floor, first, second and third floors of the building is constructed using the same procedure that of the ground floor. The staircase, chajja and parapet walls of the building are also constructed using LGSFS-ICP Technology.
