PEB: A Bliss to the Environment
Providing a solid structure to satisfy multiple aesthetic and structural design requirements, Pre Engineered Buildings, over the years has become a prominent preference for several architects and builders. Made of metal, usually steel, it offers a plethora of benefits. However, there is one advantage that it provides which not many are aware of and that is- Pre-Engineered Buildings are extremely Eco-friendly!
Throughout their lifecycle, PEB’s make efficient use of resources and are environmentally responsible too. Surprised, right? Well, there’s more to it.
Let’s explore and unravel the eco-friendly benefits offered by Pre- Engineered Buildings:
1. Doesn't stress the Environment
Trees play a crucial role in our environment as they provide us with fresh air to breathe. But over a period of time, purified and fresh air has gradually become an uncommon phenomenon due to the mass destruction of trees. However, Pre engineered metal buildings require less lumber and therefore result in the immolation of a few trees. Considering the interconnectedness of trees and pollution + increasing awareness, we can today see a gradual shift from wooden structures to steel structures for buildings.
2. Prevents adding on to the Clutter in Landfill Space
Construction and Demolition waste constitute a majority portion of the waste that is dumped into landfills which is one of the prominent sources of environmental pollution. As compared to the other standardized structures, PEB’s lasts longer, eventually reducing considerable demolition and constructional waste. Metals like steel can be recycled easily and therefore ends up in a recycling center rather than a dumping ground.
3. Doesn’t Lure Termites and other pests
Organic materials and wood attract and are a perfect breeding ground for not just termites but also rats, mould, wood ants and mice among others. To deal with these pests, lumber is required to be treated with specialized and strong chemicals. On periodic bases, the enclosed ground and structure are required to undergo high-priced insecticides treatment.
Inorganic steel doesn’t lure pests especially termites and mould. This eventually results in no expensive chemical treatments provided the steel building doesn’t possess wooden products.
4. Offers exceptional Durability
Long lasting is a feature that we all look out for. Because why not, everyone wants value for their money spent and don't want to engage in multiple maintenance sessions. And what better option could one avail than steel when it comes to endurance. Steel is known for its durability and we have witnessed live examples.
There are often very few instances where a wood-framed building structure has lasted longer than a steel frame. However, when the steel frame has outlasted its effectiveness, it can be recycled with ease.
5. Saves Energy
One of the most significant advantages that Pre engineered metal buildings offer is that they reserve energy. A Pre-Engineered Building that has been correctly insulated can lower the heating and cooling expenses to a great extent. This results in a significant reduction in energy cost over the tenure of the building.
Pre-Engineered Buildings possess some exceptional qualities that make them one of the best options for eco-friendly building solutions. Made of both Metal and mettle, they are an exquisite solution that satisfies the need of both the environment and humans.
