This work aimed at providing a sustainable material for the building envelope to reduce the dependency on the mechanical cooling. The goal was to develop a material which is eco-friendly in nature and has low thermal transmittance (U-value). The development of foamed geopolymer consisting of glass powder as an alumina silicate source material has been done. Further, the developed material was compared with the conventional building materials. For validation of the glass powder foamed geopolymer (GPFG) blocks, they were tested for physical, mechanical and thermal performance. Also, the energy profile of building envelope comprising GPFG blocks was investigated and compared with conventional wall material. The eQuest simulation system was used as a tool to generate the energy profile model of building envelope. The experimental results of the GPFG blocks showed better thermal performance than conventional wall material. Also, the energy profile of the building envelope developed using GPFG clocks suggests annual energy consumption to be approximately 7.8% lower than that of conventional wall material.
