Sustainable Construction Techniques From structural design to interior fit-out: Assessing and improving the environmental impact of buildings. eBook (PDF) Publication … Major differences in the results Increased reductions can be achieved if addressed during the design stage of buildings [6] [11] [19] [31] and therefore, possibilities are to be explored by designers in order to achieve an optimal architectural solution. 0000004487 00000 n The study results show that wood and exterior insulation finishing system (EIFS) provided the best environmental performance of wall structural and wall finishing materials, respectively. This concept paper concentrates on the analysis of an environmental activation of inner space components, identified by the author as the holistic and systemic design model, which is to empower the foundation of a contemporary sustainable interior design model. It is designed to prepare students to meet the requirements of the construction industry in general and to meet the growing need to adopt and develop strategies for development and design that are sustainable. Construction techniques in various kinds of major infrastructures together with their histories are explained and overviewed. ��3!Ae94}p�k��n��N`R�@fo�>T�MU �P=����?A@&�L�����. As distinct from the land occupied by buildings, extended land consumption was defined as lands consumed during raw material extraction and construction waste disposal. 0000006188 00000 n Despite having different structural materials, large quantities of finishes materials are common to all three buildings; large glazed curtain walls That’s why the buildings are designed to reduce energy consumption, conserve water, reduce pollution and protect health. The contributions of interiors completed in accordance with this concept can refer to the enhancement of the performance of building mechanical systems and the improvement in the indoor environment quality parameters. 0000006830 00000 n They can also be produced from innovative manufacturing processes that reduce harmful emissions to the atmosphere. 0000007064 00000 n It has something new and often surprising in it for everybody in the construction industry. 5. There are small, incremental changes even the smallest construction company can afford to make. 0000002687 00000 n Also known as offsite construction, prefab construction is the practice of assembling parts of a structure in a manufacturing site and transporting them to a different location.

Using the Alcorn coefficients, the steel building embodied the equivalent of 27 years of operating energy consumption and 12 years of operating CO2 emissions. In order to highlight the influence of materials, each building was designed to have a similar indoor climate with roughly the same amount of operational energy for heating and cooling over its full life. It was established that embodied energy can significantly influence the life-cycle energy consumption and (initial plus recurrent embodied energy) averaged 23% and operating energy consumption averaged 77% of the total life-cycle energy consumption for the four buildings. eRv�ɞ��(&bWل.�2��}�L��.��q�����o 7y�F����=+���� g3�}�Z��L}g�3P��*P��9����E? 0000078392 00000 n ResearchGate has not been able to resolve any references for this publication.

The possible range of their interventions into the indoor environment design is mainly based on the appropriate specifications of introduced building materials, products, equipment, and appliances. and sun louvers, stairs balustrade and most of the offices internal finishes. Construction techniques, resources, and building practices have evolved over the years, and with the increased interest in sustainability and energy conservation, new methods of construction that focus on sustainability have been developed. Calculation of embodied energy and embodied CO2 emissions are based on materials' estimates undertaken by a Quantity Surveyor. derived from experience. Two different methods for embodied energy and embodied CO2 calculation were applied to the four buildings. <]>> Green building materials are typically sourced from sustainable forests (such as timber forests). 64 0 obj <>stream 0000002993 00000 n Materials' inventories in GaBi are average German industry data collected by PE Europe between 1996 and 2004 (Alcorn, 2003; Nebel & Love, 2008).
