ABOUT NITT
The National
Institute of Technology (formerly known as Regional Engineering College)
Tiruchirappalli, situated in the heart of Tamil Nadu on the banks of
river Cauvery, was started as a joint and co-operative venture of
the Government of India and the Government of Tamil Nadu in 1964 with a
view to cater the needs of man-power in technology for the country. The
college has been conferred with autonomy in financial and administrative
matters to achieve rapid development. Because of this rich experience,
this institution was granted Deemed University Status with the approval
of the UGC/AICTE and Govt. of India in the year 2003 and renamed as
National Institute of Technology. NIT-T was registered under Societies
Registration Act XXVII of 1975. The hallmark of the campus is the good
facilities which caters to the academic and extracurricular interests of
the students. The institution offers Under Graduate Courses in ten
branches and Post Graduate Courses in twenty-one disciplines of Science,
Engineering & Technology besides M.S. (by Research) and Ph.D. in all the
departments. The faculty is inducted through a process of open
advertisement throughout the country. The institute is an example of
cultural unity with students drawn from most of the states in the
country.
ABOUT THE CONFERENCE
The
National Conference on “Recent trends in Architecture and Civil Engineering
towards Energy efficient and Sustainable Developments,"
organized by
Department of Architecture, National Institute of Technology Tiruchirappalli,
is deliberated to step in widening the knowledge of Sustainable developments
through the participation of researchers, academicians, and professionals
from all over India.
Buildings are the
principal consumers of energy in the world, accounting for an average of 40%
of total energy consumption, are also significant consumers of natural
resources in a different way. To reduce their environmental impact has
become a major issue. Further, problems related to the development and
planning exist in urban and rural areas. The haphazard growth of
Urbanization plays a major role in the environmental deterioration. Energy
efficient and sustainable development approaches have become an integrated
part of modern development, which places particular attention on resource
development. Architectural design and Civil Engineering has a key role to
play in ensuring that these solutions, as well as new materials, technology,
and design processes, are incorporated most efficiently.
The main goal of
this conference is to share and discuss solutions to achieve the energy
efficiency for sustainable development through Architecture and Civil
Engineering. The significance of this conference lies in the pressing need
for the integration of sustainable principles in the buildings and extends
to the built environment and the general need for sustainable development.
The conference will discuss the various ideologies & methods of more
sustainable development and also investigates the different approaches
developed in Architecture and Civil Engineering. This conference provides
opportunities to interact with prominent peoples in the field and immensely
expand your network of scholars and professionals.
