The study was aimed to investigate environmental conservation conscience and related knowledge of Business Administration undergraduates at Rajamangala University of Technology Phra Nakhon. It was also intended to examine the relationship between the environmental conservation knowledge and the students’ environmental conservation conscience. The samples were 208 fourth year students studying in the second semester of at the Faculty of Business Administration in 2013. The data were collected through the questionnaire regarding the environmental conservation conscience and related knowledge and were analyzed by the frequency distribution percentage distribution standard deviation t-test and One – Way ANOVA. In case of 0.05 statistical differences was found Scheffe’s method was applied for adjusting significance levels in a linear regression analysis to account for multiple comparisons as well as Pearson Product Moment Correlation statistically significant at 0.05 level. The result showed that Business Administration undergraduates highly displayed their environmental conservation conscience and related knowledge and moderately related (r = 0.407) and statistically significant at level of 0.05.

The using of ground coffee wastes from industries to develop the cement board is an objective of this research that can solve the air pollution problems from smell and spreading of ground coffee wastes. The ratio of Portland cement type1: fine sand: tap water is equal to 1: 0.5: 0.416 by weight and the ratios of Portland cement type1: ground coffee wastes include 1: 0.05 1: 0.06 1: 0.07 1: 0.08 1:0.09 and 1: 0.10 by weight (6 ratios). The production of cement board uses the pressure casting in temperature 30 – 35 degree of Celsius and controls 0.75 g/cm3 of density. The testing of cement-bonded fiberboard properties follow the TIS 878-2537 standard (cement bonded particle board: high density). From the results 1: 0.05 is the most suitable quantity of cement: ground coffee wastes which mixed in cement board. This cement boards can reduce the ground coffee wastes by using as aggregate to produce the construction materials.

This research aims to develop the cement board from coconut shell ash. The Portland cement type1: fine sand: tap water ratio is equal to 1: 0.4: 0.33 by weight. The 5 ratios of Portland cement type1: coconut shell ash include 1: 0.12 1: 0.13 1: 0.14 1: 0.15 and 1: 0.16 by weight. The cement board production uses the pressure casting in normal temperature (30 – 35 degree of Celsius) and controls the 0.75 g/cm3 of density then test the properties of cement-bonded fiberboard follow TIS 878-2537 standard (cement bonded particle board: high density). From the results 1: 0.12 is the most suitable ratio of cement board from coconut shell ash. This developed cement boards can reduce the quantity of coconut shell ash waste and have the good thermal insulation.
