low-cost housing
Definition :
An innovative concept in which effective budgeting is taken into account by using some technologies which reduce the cost of construction effectively.
Important parameters considered in low-cost housing :
- Building construction material used in low-cost housing for construction depends upon the locality of that area.
- The method of low-cost housing construction also depends upon the skilled labour availability in that region
- We should choose wisely in building construction material and method of construction without compromising the strength durability and performance of the structure
- There is a huge misconception that low-cost housing is only suitable for low substandard works and very cheap quality construction material is used
- Reality is that low-cost housing should be done by proper management of various resources
- Economic can be achieved by postponing the finishing work.

Hi, sunlight is the best source of light and energy. So to use effectively, the placing of windows and other openings and reflective surfaces matters a lot.
As a civil engineer, it’s our aim to maximize the comfort of the user and reduce the energy consumption for saving electricity.
The design of the building should be like this the rays of sunlight it will be scattered from the wall and reflect and cover a maximum area of the house. There will be no direct sunlight on polar sites of the walls that are north facing and south-facing. Providing large Windows is a good option to maximize the use of natural sources of light.
In the present scenario, translucent concrete is been used as concrete which transfers the light in various commercial buildings to reduce the use of artificial electricity. This is a great gift from nanotechnology.
the position of lights inside the room must be at the middle of the wall and not at the corners so that lights spread 180 degrees.
