EACT Conventional Experimental Prototype Model
![]()
Summary: EACT Conventional Experimental Prototype
Model is constructed to simulate buildings and structures which are designed
and constructed using the standard conventional technologies and practices
which have been in existence for decades. These buildings do not focus on
energy efficiency, environmental friendliness or promoting and maintaining a
healthy living environment or lifestyle. Most buildings are constructed on
site which leads to high associated labor cost. Incandescent lighting, water
heater storage tanks, manual operating flushing and high water consumption
systems, non recyclable and low biodegradable materials and high energy
consumption appliances are just a few of the standard technologies which one
will find in these conventional buildings. Minimal air filtering and
airborne containment removal practices. Minimization of the building’s
sustainability and overall life cycle.
