"In USA, such buildings can even go as high as 100 storeys. Even our structure can have more floors added in future and can be easily dismantled also," he informed.
Singh said that it is a "smart building" where quality of air that people breathe in will be more pure as the structure detects if carbon dioxide levels are high and makes adjustments accordingly.
"The building is also energy-efficient and it will consume less energy as compared to the conventional buildings. The building also has in-built temperature control system," he informed.
Asked about its end use, he said, "We just wanted to showcase that such a building can be erected. It's an example that when the cement costs have risen, labour and other issues are there, here is an option... a highly economical one and which saves on time. It's a utility concept, which can be useful for hotels, hospitals, retail malls and in the educational and commercial sector."
The facade of the building is double skinned PUF panel that ensures thermal insulation.
This construction mechanism has been approved by the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research, Delhi and Structural Engineering Research Centre Chennai, he claimed.
