Porous Soil

Cement and chemical grouts have often been used for soil strengthening. However, high cost, energy consumption, and harm to environment restrict their applications. Biocement could be a new green building- material and energy-saving material. Biocement is a mixture of enzymes or microbial biomass with inorganic chemicals, which can be produced from cheap raw materials. Supply of biocementing solution to the porous soil or mixing of dry biocement with clayey soil initiate biocementation of soil due to specific enzymatic activity. Different microorganisms and enzymes can be used for production of biocement.

Occupant Satisfaction

Universities spend billions of dollars on green buildings as a sustainability commitment. This research investigates occupant satisfaction with indoor environmental quality (IEQ), building design (BD), and facilities management (FM) in five highly ranked green higher educational buildings in the subtropical climate of Australia, in comparison to nine non-green counterparts. The results disclose that the green building users were more consistently satisfied than the non-green building users with BD&FM elements, such as design, needs from facilities, building image, cleaning, the availability of meeting rooms, and storage. On the other hand, the study revealed weaknesses of green buildings in IEQ, such as noise, ventilation, and artificial lighting. The individual environmental control positively correlated with satisfaction in non-green buildings, but did not significantly affect satisfaction in green buildings. This study also identified the influences of non-environmental factors on occupant satisfaction, such as gender, age, sitting close to a window, hours spent in the building and in the workstation, and the number of people sharing office space. The research provides evidence and guidance for investing in, designing, and managing green educational facilities.

Mixed Concrete

Concrete is the most extensively used material in building and civil project structure. With the rapid development of economic construction, urban construction and infrastructure construction increase year by year, so there is a greater demand for concrete, which brings the rapid development of ready-mixed concrete industry. During the rapid development, structural safety and durability problems caused by concrete quality appear frequently. Meanwhile, to implement the fundamental national policies of resource conservation and environment protection, according to Green Building Action Plan (GUOBANFA [2013] No.1) approved by CPC Central Committee and the State Council, besides meeting the quality requirements, ready-mixed concrete must also meet the green products requirements of "energy conservation, emission reduction, safety, convenience and recyclability" for the vigorous development of green building material and supporting the requirements for building energy conservation, green building and new-type urbanization construction. By quality testing, this paper elaborates the green assessment technology for ready-mixed concrete in combination with raw material quality control, design of mix ratio, production process quality control, construction process quality control, residual concrete treatment, hardened concrete quality control, and control of dust, noise and wastewater. The greening of ready-mixed concrete brings the production and application of green building material, promotes the transformation and upgrading of building material industry and drives the development of green building.

Health Field

In the market of the healthy residence industry nowadays, the universal value of health has been increasingly emphasized and pursued. It caused the interior renovation process and quality to undergo increasingly strict inspections and requirements. To pursue sustainable development and solve the long-standing gap in the health field, Taiwan’s first ecological green building material manufacturer, MOSIA invested in establishing a social enterprise, GDcometrue.com. It connected the capabilities and resources of industry partners, such as designers, workers, equipment vendors, and material vendors, to reshape the industry value chain, set industry standards, develop a comprehensive green renovation solution, and guide the construction of industry ecosystem and put industry’s turnaround and innovation into practice. By transforming the industrial ecosystem, the company explores innovative business development and reconfigures and redeploys resources. GDcometrue.com shaped Asia’s first green renovation service system, then that system became Asia’s first and largest shared economy platform for “green design,” and promoted a benchmark business model for cross-industry cooperation. The company used its unique platform business model to create market value and satisfy the dynamic needs of the market and customers. Ultimately, the company achieved organizational ambidexterity to cope with industry environment changes and provide a novel solution for the gap in the global green building industry and green building material industry.
