Abstract
The urbanization development in India over the last few decades has been fast, very unequal, and not sustainable. The UN projects that by 2050, it will be one of the top three nations in terms of urbanization. India's urban population is expected to grow from 481 million to 814 million by 2050 an added 333 million. There will be significant effects on energy consumption patterns and GHG emissions when India's urban population increases from 34.93% now to 57.7% in 2050. Conventional construction materials have a high embodied energy, and buildings account for most of the world's energy usage. The production of today's standard materials accounts for 20% of global CO2 emissions and 25% of global energy usage. Rapid building is required to satisfy the need for housing, but if it is done wrongly, it will only meet the demand for housing temporarily and at the expense of livability, sustainability, pollution, resilience, and ultimately economic competitiveness. The Compressed Stabilized Earth Blocks (CSEB) have the potential to revolutionize environmentally friendly construction in India. CSEBs provides the perspective of energy-efficient, cost-reduction, and environmentally-friendly building materials, overall contributing to sustainable development, at a time when there is a growing concern of awareness regarding environmental issue. Since CSEBs are unburned materials, no coal or other burning fuel is required in their manufacturing. The paper delves into the history of CSEB, passive architecture, and circular economy in Indian residences, incorporating many strategies into one plan, the potential to reduce a building's overall energy consumption while simultaneously improving its cost-effectiveness, usability, and social cohesion. The goal of this study is to demonstrate that stabilized earth walls may be utilized in low and medium-rise structures when paired with a frame constructed of today's standard materials, lowering total use while achieving density requirements.
