The Development of Green Building in 21st Century

The steel structure building is the green building in 21st century. Constructing these energy efficient buildings is a kind of method that could reduce the carbon emission and promote sustainable development.

1.Low Carbon

The steel structure building adopts rigid frame, structural steel and etc. The co emissions of these steel structure materials are about 480kg/㎡. The co emissions reduced by over 35% compared with the traditional concrete.

2.Saving Materials

The structural weight of high-rise buildings with steel structure is about 900-1000kg/㎡, while the weight of the buildings with traditional concrete is about 1500-1800kg/㎡. In this way, the consumption of the cement and sand sources could be reduced. During the construction of steel structure building, there is no need to install the timber frame. In this way, the timber source could be saved and the environment could be protected.

3. Saving Water

The steel structure buildings pay attention to the prefabricated construction. In the course of construction, the usage of water and the discharge of waste water could be reduced.

4. Saving Operation Energy 

The light steel wall has good self-thermal insulation, which could reduce the operation energy consumption.

5. Increase Land Use Efficiency

The steel structure buildings have many features such as light weight and high strength, which makes easy the realization of high rise buildings. And the socioeconomic value is obvious in present society.

6. The Environmental Protection

This prefabricated construction could reduce noise and pollution to the air. The exploit of sand could be avoided and the discharge of the construction waste could be reduced.

Saving energy has become the key word of this world. In order to meet the requirements of most people, container home manufacturers design and manufacture these energy efficient buildings.
