1) Introduction:
The world went recently to the
architectural thought which focuses on
the relationship between buildings and
the environment within the framework of
the so-called green architecture or
urban environment-friendly cities
without a contaminated items so that it
appears in reducing the negative impact
of buildings on the environment.
Green or sustainable architecture is that should meet the needs of the
present without losing the right of future generations in their needs for a
clean environment that is free of contaminants which affect the natural
growth of the human being.
With reference to the above, and since most of Dubai buildings are made
of RCC structures which most important components is the Portland cement,
and since it is not Eco-friendly material, so I found that it is essential to
4) What are the global best practices in the use of substitutes for
cement?
5) What are the opinions of local expert people?
6) Are the Eco-Friendly materials available globally and locally?

Notes:
1) 28 Day strength is input in 5 N/mm2 intervals from 25 N/mm2 to 60 N/mm2. For any strengths within these intervals please round to the nearest 5 N/mm2
2) For concrete strengths above 60 MPa or below 25 MPa please consult the EGBC
3) Embodied GHG Limits are derived based on Reference Table limits for a concrete of specific 28 day strength, Credit Targets are used to determine credit limits
and weight averaged embodied GHG for the purpose of determining points attained.
