A Study on Building Materials used in Construction and its Classification

Selection of materials for constructing a building plays a crucial role in determining its environmental impact. This impact extends locally, involving activities like quarrying; globally, through the release of carbon dioxide during material manufacturing; and internally, affecting the health of occupants. The Technical Committee on "Microbial Impact on Building Materials" conducted a review of current research on Impact of microorganisms on construction materials. In architecture, the term "life cycle" refers to the period during which building materials function as intended, ideally with no significant performance loss in the operational phase Currently, there is a trend towards recycling construction materials at the end of their life cycle. The recycling processes employed for numerous contemporary building materials result in a reduction in their energy. Genuine recycling should not involve a continuous decrease in energy with each cycle. Scientific literature extensively covers topics such as durability, life cycle, and sustainability related to building materials. Many projects, driven by a commitment to prolong their longevity beyond a single human generation, find it almost obligatory to incorporate a transcendental dimension to their design
