“…Achieving sustainability in housing requires seeking solutions relating to energy saving, emissions control, production and application of materials, and the use of renewable resources since carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) is emitted to the atmosphere in great quantity through the whole life-cycle of a building. Carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) is emitted into the atmosphere during the production of building materials, the construction, renovation, rehabilitation, and demolition of a building [23].…”

Housing need in Nigeria is continuously on the increase both, in the rural and urban areas. Studies have shown overwhelming evidences of the appalling situation of housing in Nigeria, as it is the case in most Less Developed Countries. Housing development however could be greatly facilitated by recourse to the use of improved building materials of earthen origin. The materials offer low carbon solutions in housing thus contributing to the development of sustainable housing. Sustainable housing is environmentally-conscious housing that seeks to minimize the negative environmental impact of buildings by enhancing energy efficiency, moderation in the use of materials, and development of space. This is important in enhancing health, welfare, and productivity of occupants of buildings, and it is cost effective. This paper appraises the use of building earth and supplementary cementitious materials as low carbon initiatives in sustainable housing in Nigeria. It asserts that the development of sustainable housing could be readily achieved in Nigeria with the adoption and use of building materials of earthen origin and some supplementary cementitious materials.

“…When the aforementioned variables are kept constant, the structural systems and the materials employed in these systems become the dominant factors influencing the analysis results. Different structural system alternatives and their details result in different manufacturing costs ( [12,13]. Agricultural structures are mostly single-story structures that are produced for investment and are profit-oriented.…”

This paper presents the assessment of conventional structural systems used for industrial dairy farming focusing on the cost and energy consumption. Various structural forms for industrial dairy farming were investigated considering dozen of structural models and materials. Eleven different structural systems were compared in terms of cost and energy consumption. Steel girders, steel columns, glued-laminated timber, reinforced concrete (RC) columns and steel trusses were used in this research as the structural components and materials. The SAP2000 software was used for the analysis of the modeled structures. The obtained results of the analyses demonstrated that the use of RC members or prefabricated concrete components is economically advantageous, while the use of glued-laminated timber was the least economical alternative. The highest cost was observed for a structural model fabricated with a conventional Gable steel frame and the lowest cost was observed for a structural model made of a 2-span twin mono-pitch Portal frames constructed with prefabricated RC beams and columns. However, the lowest energy consumption was observed for a structural model constructed with a single-span twin mono-pitch Portal frames constructed with RC columns and glued-laminated timber beams and the highest energy consumption was observed for the structural model fabricated with a conventional Gable steel frame, which had the highest cost
