Introduction

GREEN PANELS (Developed Wall or D- Wall) System is a

simple, fast and economical pre- engineered and pre-
fabricated wall system.

It comprises of two layers of non asbestos fiber cement

board injected in factory by lightweight concrete mix to be
used as non load, internal and external partitions.

The mix design was developed by engineer Mohamad

Rashad Alshoweky to meet the international technical
specifications (especially for middle east) from high
strength, light weight, heat, sound, fire and humidity
isolation, green building and economic price.
Green Panels System
Partitions /non load bearing walls/

(can be used for one or two story buildings as load

bearing walls):

The two cement boards are fixed in moulds in the

factory and the special cement mix core is casted
/without connecters/ and treated to be hardened
before demoulding, the sandwich panels are placed in
a curing place and then transferred to the erection site
after having enough hardening.

The panels are erected in the site manually by special

non shrinkage mortar, leveled and connected together
by small steel bars.

A 5 cm mesh is applied by adhesive on the joints and

the surface is ready for 1-2 face primer and painting or
any other finishing.
Green Panels System
Cost competitive walling system for non-load
bearing walls:

• Replaces concrete block work ,brick, pre- cast

and other lightweight composite or framed type
walling systems. These walls act as non-load
bearing elements.
• Fire rated
• Excellent acoustic performance
• Light weight, easy to handle and Install
• Cost effective when compared to any
comparative system.
Ceiling Applications

• The panels can also be used for ceilings.

• Suitable steel sections can be applied,
then the panels will be fixed on the steel
sections by screws and cement adhesive
between the panels.
• A layer of water proofing can be applied
above the installed panels, then the
finished tile can be applied.
A Steel mesh can be applied inside the panels before pouring
Benefits to Builders

Benefits to society/ Green Building System
Green Panels meets all specifications for green building:

Green Building, also known as green construction or sustainable building, is the practice of
creating structures and using processes that are environmentally responsible and resource-
efficient throughout a building„s life-cycle: from design, construction, operation,
maintenance, renovation, to deconstruction. This practice expands and complements the
classical building design concerns of economy, utility, durability, and comfort.

The common objective is that green buildings are designed to reduce the overall impact of
the built environment on human health and the natural environment by:

• Efficiently using energy, water, and other resources.

• Protecting occupant health and improving employee productivity.
• Reducing waste, pollution and environmental degradation.
Benefits to the Home Owner
• A durable strong quality home that will last
for generations.
• Virtually maintenance free.
• Easy to extend and add onto in the
future.
• High end finish with low end price.
• High heat isolation, save energy and
improve health.
• High noise isolation.
• High fire isolation.
• Good water resistance.
Green Panels Standards
A new modern technology for Lightweight Wall Panels “Made in Australia, England, Scotland,
India, China, and others by European technology ” using the BS standers.
Materials and Dimensions:

• Lightweight core of Portland cement and light aggregates or EPS or perlite sandwiched
between non-asbestos, fiber cement facings.
• Each Panel has a standard size: Thickness: (50 mm), (75 mm), (100 mm)
and (180 mm), Width: 61 cm, Height: 227 cm.

Used As:
• External walls and partitions.
• Internal walls and partitions.
• Fire-rated walls of more than 2 hours.
Features
1- Reliable mechanical performance:
The mechanics performance of the compound D-Wall is in the leading position of the wall products
including its resistance of impact, perch up strength, compress and transverse bend.

2- Good sound insulation and heat insulation performance:

Compound lightweight D-Wall has good sound insulation performance , say, the air sound insulation
coefficient of 100 mm thickness board is greater than 40 dB, which accords with the requirement of
sound insulation of the modern building.
Moreover, it has good heat insulation performance, which is also the trend of energy- saving.
The (K- Value) is 0.14 - 0.25 W/m2 K which is better than 2 block walls of 10 cm‟s separated by 5 cm of
air and plastered by 3cm plastering on both sides.

3- Strong waterproof performance:

The unique structure of D-Wall has very strong water- impervious performance. The climbing high of
capillary water is less than 20 mm in a state of the 48 hour‟s water infiltration. It can be used in the
bathrooms and kitchens directly.
4- Good fireproof performance:
According to the authoritative test of Australia Fixed Fire Extinguishing System and Fireproof Components
Quality Supervision and Inspection Center,
Fire endurance of 75 mm thickness D-Wall is to 2 hours,
and for the 100 mm thickness D-Wall is 3 hours.

5- Superior construction performance:

Compound heat preserving D-Wall can be sawn, nailed, notched. It is easy and efficient to put the D-Wall
together during the installation.

6- Light weight concrete:

Avg. weight for 100 mm panel is about 60 Kg/m2.

7- Easy to install : Green Panels arrives ready for installation.

8- Flexibility in Design:
Reduces space, time for construction, labor‟s working hours and wages, plastering, painting preparation, and
cleaning costs. The surface of the wall is smooth, soft finish that does not need plastering and is sufficient for
all types of paints and finishing.

9- Doors and windows:

Doors and windows are fitted in the traditional manner, and the openings doesn‟t need concrete frame.

10- Electrical conduits and plumbing Installation:

The panel can be bored down the core to take electrical wiring or other service, Plumbing pipes and conduits
can be put into D-Wall, or plastic pipes can be put before casing to take the wiring or pipes into it.
11- Savings

• Saves Time; as a result of Rapid construction techniques and Fast assembly.

• Saves Money; in comparison to old traditional construction system, it saves 10-20 %
of the construction cost.
• Saves Space; D-Wall Panels are slim, which provides extra usable floor space.
• Reduces the cross sectional area of doors and windows frame; thus reduces
materials cost (Wood and Aluminum)
• Saves labor; less labor is used for building; thus less labor cost.
• Saves Raw materials; less R.Ms. are used for building, thus less cost.
• Less beams, columns and foundation size; due to lightweight panels, that can be
taken into consideration, thus less cost.
• Saves power; using LWFC inside panels and fiber cement boards at both sides act as an
heat insulator so it saves energy up to 40%.
Building process - Installation
Electrical conduit
Electrical:
Slide conduits into the panel before pouring concrete.
Cut appropriate opening for utility box Installing
electrical conduits.
No chipping of the wall is required for conduit and
utility box installations.

Plumbing:
Same procedure as with electrical conduits, pipes are
slid into the panels and appropriate holes are cut for
plumbing fixture connections.

Doors and windows:

Can be fitted in the traditional manner without adding
concrete frame.

Corners:
Can be fitted by cement glue & mechanical fixing.

Comparison Between traditional building using Normal
Cement Blocks and non load bearing Green Panels
Expected required time for building a home of 200 SQM area , using the traditional way by concrete blocks:

Job description Minimum working days

Building external and internal walls; 4 workers 7 Days
Plastering; 4 workers 12 Days
Painting (All Phases) 15 Days
Total No. Of Days 34 Days

Expected required time for building a home of 200 SQM area , using the
Green Panels (7.5 cm and 10 cm):

Job description Minimum working days

Building external and internal walls; 4 workers 2 Days
Plastering 0 Days
Painting (All Phases) 8 Days
Total No. Of Days 10 Days

Saved Time (with painting) is : 34 – 10 = 24; Time Saving 10/34 = 30% 70% .
Saved Time (ready partitions) is : 19 – 2 = 17; Time Saving 2/19 = 10% 90% .
Since the time we can save is around 70% of normal required time , then as a result the overhead expenses (
administration cost , supervising cost , heavy tools renting cost ,….etc.) will be approximately reduced by the
same percentage , which does mean more profit.
