Environmental Engineering & Built Environment - Notes

Water Supply and Sanitary Systems

- Water Supply Systems: Include source (river, reservoir), intake structures, water treatment plants, storage

reservoirs, and distribution networks.

- Sanitary Systems: Comprise of sewerage systems (household drainage, public sewers), sewage treatment,

and disposal.

- Example: Bengaluru's Cauvery Water Supply Scheme (CWSS).

Water Quality and Security

- Water Quality Parameters: pH, turbidity, hardness, biological content (BOD, COD), presence of heavy

metals.

- Water Security: Sustainable management of water resources ensuring availability, quality and equitable

distribution.

- Example: Jal Jeevan Mission aims at ensuring water access to all households.

Urban Air Pollution - Causes and Remedial Measures

- Causes: Vehicular emissions, industrial discharges, construction dust, burning of waste, diesel generators.

- Remedial Measures: Promotion of public transport, green belts, stringent emission norms, electric vehicles.

- Example: Delhi's Odd-Even scheme and AQI monitoring systems.

Solid Waste Management

- Types: Biodegradable, non-biodegradable, hazardous, e-waste.


Environmental Engineering & Built Environment - Notes

- Sources: Domestic, commercial, industrial, municipal.

- Collection Methods: Door-to-door, community bins.

- Disposal: Landfilling, composting, incineration, waste-to-energy.

- Example: Swachh Bharat Mission, Indore's 100% door-to-door collection model.

Urban Floods - Types, Causes and Control

- Types: Flash floods, coastal floods, urban drainage floods.

- Causes: Encroachment of waterways, heavy rainfall, poor drainage.

- Control: Stormwater management, rainwater harvesting, green infrastructure.

- Example: Chennai floods (2015), implementation of sponge city concepts in China.

Energy Efficient Buildings

- Use of insulated materials, natural lighting, solar panels, passive design strategies.

- Standards: ECBC (Energy Conservation Building Code).

- Example: Infosys campuses use radiant cooling and energy-efficient HVAC systems.

Recycling in Built Environment

- Reuse of construction materials like bricks, concrete.

- Recycling greywater, rainwater harvesting.

- Use of fly ash bricks and recycled aggregates.

Temperature and Sound Control in Buildings


Environmental Engineering & Built Environment - Notes

- Thermal insulation, double glazed windows, green roofs for temperature control.

- Acoustic panels, noise barrier walls, layout planning for soundproofing.

- Example: IGBC guidelines promote thermal and acoustic efficiency.

Security Systems

- CCTV, biometric systems, fire alarms, smart locks, intrusion detection.

- Integration with IoT and mobile apps for remote monitoring.

- Example: Smart apartments with app-based visitor entry management.

Smart Buildings

- Automated lighting, HVAC, energy and water management through sensors and IoT.

- Use of Building Management Systems (BMS).

- Example: Tata Consultancy Services' Olympus Centre in Thane uses smart systems for energy savings.
