Abstract - The design for the G+1 bungalow at the Pali Jambhulpada. to develop a sustainable bungalow by using various construction materials, systems, and techniques. Particularly, the 4R principle method used for waste management. The terracotta pot technique used for thermal insulation to reduce the need for artificial cooling. Solar panels install to generate renewable energy and lower electricity consumption. The terrace had terrazzo flooring, which helps to maintain a cooler indoor environment. A rainwater harvesting system design and implemented to optimize water usage. For landscaping, design a droughtresistant tree system that requires a minimum quantity of waterandprovidesshade.Finally,tocalculateenvironmental impact and construction cost, which lower than that of a conventional bungalow.
Key Words: Sustainablebungalow,Terracottapottechnique, Solar panels Landscaping,
1.INTRODUCTION
The proposed sustainable bungalow is located at the Pali Jambhulpada in the Raigad district of Maharashtra. This placeisconnectedtotheroad&spreadover more than 2 acres.Theaimofthisisacreateamodernanddurableliving space, including an effective plan, sustainable structural design, and organic features. The residential bungalow is plannedwithanareaof82.04sq.m.astheG+1structureand a total heightof 6 m.Design secures enoughnatural light, properventilation,residential dimension,andstock space for the inhabitants to be comfortable and functional. For architecturalmodelling,Revitarchitecturesoftwareisused formodelling,accuratelyactivatedfor3Dvisualizationand effective integration of design components. Structural analysis and design are done using the Staad Pro, which ensuresthestability,strength,andsafetyofthebungalow. TheworkisdesignedIncreasethenaturalbeautyofthesite by incorporating native plants, shaking areas to improve biodiversity, and trees and air quality. This includes a harvest of rainwater. The system, which helps with water conservation, charging groundwater, and reducing dependenceonexternalwatersources.Thisinitiativetostop theearthensuresastableandpermanentwatersupply.In order to further promote energy efficiency, the project
integrates solar panel energy solutions by installing solar energywithhigh-efficiencypanels.Ithelpstoreducecostsof power, reduce carbon emissions, and provide a reliable sourceofrenewableenergy.Withsolarenergy,thepurpose of the project is to achieve energy self-supply while contributing to environmental stability. The choice of Anotherimportantfeatureofsustainablebuildingmaterialis Project.Itusesterracotta,recycledwood,aluminium,cork, andterrazzo,allofwhichareenvironmentallyfriendlyand contribute to energy efficiency, resource security, and environmental impacts. This material not only improves durabilityandaestheticsinthebungalowbutalsoreduces waste and promotes a small carbon footprint in the construction.Overall,theprojectisdesignedasamodern, durable, and environmentally responsible housing development.Byintegratingadvanceddesigntechnologies, renewable energysolutions, andenvironmentallyfriendly materials, projects provide a comfortable, durable, and energy living space. It acts as a model for future housing projects that prefer stability, functionality, and long-term flexibility.

FromtheBungalowPerformanceAnalysesthereis about 13.98 % Energy Cost savings for the conventionalbungalowcomparedtothesustainable Bungalow.
We reduced cost of sustainable bungalow approximately1Lakhs.
Theestimationandcomparisonbetweenconventionaland sustainable bungalows highlight the advantages of sustainability in construction. sustainable bungalows not onlyreducecostsbutalsominimizeenvironmentalimpact throughefficientresourceutilization.Theincorporationof construction debris for plinth filling helps in waste reduction, while well-designed windows enhance natural lighting and ventilation, reducing energy consumption. Additionally,water-efficientplumbingfixturescontributeto water conservation. overall, sustainable bungalows demonstratesuperiorenergyefficiencyandeco-friendliness comparedtoconventionaldesigns,makingthemapractical andresponsiblechoiceformodernconstruction.
