Performance Of Steel Structures — Environmental Protection

Steel structure is a new building system, its advantages are not only in its high strength, light weight, easy to process and other physical characteristics, but also in its environmental performance.

 1. Save Energy 

Compared with traditional building materials, the manufacturing and installation of steel structures can greatly reduce energy consumption. In addition, in the process of use, the steel structure also has excellent thermal insulation and thermal insulation properties, making the indoor temperature more stable, thereby further reducing energy consumption.

2. Sustainable Utilization Of Resources

Steel is a recyclable and reusable material. In the process of building demolition and renovation, the steel structure can be completely recycled and reused, thereby reducing the generation of construction waste and reducing environmental pollution. In addition, the service life of the steel structure is relatively long, which can reduce the production of construction waste and further reduce environmental pollution.

3. Reduce Environmental Pollution

Compared with traditional building materials, steel structure in the production, transportation, installation and other processes, the production of waste gas, waste water and other pollutants are much less.

· Reduce production pollution. The components of the steel structure building are prefabricated in the factory using the dry process, which does not require the use of a large number of wet materials such as cement mortar, and does not produce solid waste such as waste water and slag in the production process, thereby reducing production pollution.

· Reduce transportation pollution. The steel structure building uses lightweight and compact parts or components, which can reduce the weight and volume of transportation, thereby reducing carbon dioxide emissions and road losses during transportation, thereby reducing transportation pollution.

· Reduce construction pollution. The steel structure building adopts the method of mechanized installation, which can shorten the construction period, reduce the number of construction personnel and equipment, so as to reduce the production and discharge of pollutants such as garbage, wastewater, dust and noise at the construction site, thereby reducing construction pollution.
