Sustainable Development in a building is related to focus on low cost and low energy architecture.The site of work is the key point for investigation. In hilly stations, the buildings are constructed by various types of soil and rock formations.Varying slope characteristics in development on improper selection of sites often causes landslides, loss of life and damages of properties. Hill slope less than 300 is stable gradient corresponds to safe angle of repose of slope forming materials. Computational results for honeycomb cell depth in the range of 2 to 16 cm show that the cell width range of 7 mm to 19 mm is sufficient to suppress the convection for the angle of inclination of 100 ,400 & 700 and DT in the range of 200C to 1200C which is the range of interest in solar thermal applications. Simultaneously experimental results in fabrication of noryl air heater are capable of providing hot air of temperature difference [150 C-300 C] on a moderate sunny day. Therefore it is a suitable air heater for producing hot air of space heating and agricultural drying applications. Innovative applications of TIM Devics for sustainability and heat tranfer analysis corresponding to New Delhi and Leh in India and Boulder in USA for TIM device of depth 5 cm to 10 cm and aspect ratio of 10-20 considerably enhances the heat flux entering the living space and increases the indoor temperature to comfortable conditions in cold climates.Therefore an appropriate engineering design of building with TIM insulation would involve tradeoff between several of above-mentioned factors.
