How is the world of sustainable construction changing? How modern approaches are changing traditional practices.
For centuries, we have been constructing everything from homes to manufacturing plants to transportation infrastructure, building on what we call traditional practices. Each decade moves forward with modernizations to these practices as our knowledge deepens and as we become aware of different resources to improve sustainable construction.sustainable construction practices
. As mainstream construction techniques have progressed in speed and cost, there is a growing realization that continuing in this direction is having, and will continue to have, negative short- and long-term impacts on our environment, our communities, and our quality of life. To learn how we might remedy this situation, it helps to first take a look into our past.
In all of these societies, we can see how they achieved a sustained balance by realizing the simple but immutable truth about humans and their environments — for better or worse, they are irrefutably intertwined. For example, just looking at the materials we most commonly use today in traditional building, we’ve already strayed from anything sustainable. Concrete and steel, after all, are both non-renewable resources, are hard to reuse and require a lot of energy just to manufacture.
So, is the answer to go back to bamboo and stone structures? Not exactly. We can, however, re-adopt the core principles of these historical techniques while adding today’s best efficiencies enhanced by the right construction technology to come up with a new, sustainable construction industry.First, we need to take a look at the way we design our projects.
