Abstract

This research studied on physical model of applications of porous concrete in green building according to TREES-NC standard. It was found that the applications of porous concrete in green building could be done according to TREES-NC standard which was modified from LEED standard and gained totally 13 points from various chapters; i.e. chapter 2 : site and landscape, chapter 5 : materials and resources and chapter 8 : innovation. The physical model of green building in this investigation was used for the scale of 1:25. Small size of gravel mixed with epoxy resin was used as porous concrete sample. After the model testing, it was found that water and air can be permeated very well through the porous concrete in green building physical model.
