Professor Yujin Nam of the Department of Architectural Engineering at Pusan National University and an international team of universities and architectural institutes have produced a guide on how steel can help bring about a more sustainable construction sector.
“Between now and 2050, the world’s population will increase from 2 billion people to over 9.5 billion. This means that the buildings and infrastructure industry will continue growing to support these demographic trends. However, with the operation of buildings responsible for 28% of global CO2 emissions, ways must be found to reduce operational energy use in buildings and their contribution to climate change. Indeed, steel products and solutions are an integral part of this process and include for example solar panel mountings, geothermal heat pumps and sandwich panels which contribute to building airtightness.”
