GREEN CONSTRUCTION MATTERS

Market Demand - Smart Business

In an era where environmental concerns are paramount, the construction industry is undergoing a significant transformation towards sustainability.

Consumers, businesses, and investors are looking for Eco-friendly build options. As awareness of environmental issues grows and concerns about climate change intensify, more people are seeking Eco-friendly living and working spaces.

Eco-friendly buildings offer numerous benefits, including lower build costs, healthier indoor environments, and reduced environmental impact, making them increasingly attractive to prospective buyers and tenants.

Builders who prioritize Eco-friendly construction can capitalize on this market demand and gain a competitive advantage in the real estate industry.

Is Steel the Greenest Building Material Available?

RECYCLE: Did you know that steel is the most recycled material in the world? Each year in North America, more steel is recycled than paper, plastic, and aluminum combined.

Every piece of steel used in construction contains recycled content. Unlike many other recyclable materials, steel can retain all of its properties without sacrificing quality. In other words, steel has a potentially unlimited life cycle.

According to the Steel Recycling Institute, a 2,000 sq foot two story house can be framed from the steel recycled from six cars. It would take nearly an acre of trees to produce the wood needed to produce a comparable wood frame.

GREEN BUILDING CODES: With continually stricter green building guidelines to adhere to, steel is well positioned to help architects and builders meet even the tightest of energy code standards. Steel is recognized in all major green building code standards!

DURABILITY: Steel structures can last for hundreds of years, making them as cost effective as they are sustainable. Steel is resilient, able to withstand hurricanes, earthquakes, fires, does not warp, split, and it resists moisture and pests. Steel’s durability not only equals a short term conservation of resources, but also a long term decrease in carbon emissions over time.

NO CHEMICALS: Wood is chemically treated with pesticides and other chemicals reducing indoor air quality.
