Green construction has started attracting more and more attention during the last years. The concept behind green construction lies far beyond the creation of a building that doesn’t harm the environment. Green construction tries to establish those conditions that will eventually upgrade the quality of our planet.
In order to fully realize how critical is for our industry to start adopting a greener profile, it would be useful to check out many different solutions that green construction could offer to us:
1. More effective management of the available resourcesThe use of green manufacturing techniques can save vast amounts of natural resources. By limiting the waste of energy or of valuable resources such as water, for example, you can boost project’s sustainability and protect biodiversity.
2. Better protection of the natural habitatOne more advantage of going green in construction has to do with the environment itself. More specifically, green building promotes the implementation of methods that contribute to the minimization of air and sound pollution during the conduction of a project. On top of that, a significant reduce of produced waste could be another step towards the right direction.
3. Higher living standards for the residentsThe extra attention for people’s well-being can have a very positive impact on the everyday life of the people who live or work in “green” buildings. An ecological friendly building can upgrade significantly the quality of life for its residents in long term.
4. Extra attention to locationIn contrast with conventional building practices, green construction considers location as one of the most fundamental parts of the whole project. A number of different parameters are taken into consideration, such as the possibility of improving the broader area (e.g. bike lanes), the preservation of the natural (or urban) habitat and the sun exposure.
We already discussed that green construction has a plethora of advantages. However, there are certain disadvantages, too. More analytically, we could sum up the most critical of them to the following points:
1. Materials deficiencyFinding the proper materials can be hard. The specifications can be extremely strict and many times the available materials are simply not enough. This problem is most common in big cities where life is a bit more hectic and less ecological-targeted.
2. Indoor air qualityBuilding with the wrong recycled materials can be dangerous. People who live or work within a green structure may face significant issues with indoor air quality. If for instance, the contractor used a recycled product with high concentration of chemicals, it can be harmful to those who inhale them.
3. Increased costPutting together a green manufacturing project is costly in short term. The need for specific materials in combination with their shipping cost can augment the budget significantly.
