Abstract

Whilst sustainable construction relates to both a building’s structure and the use of proper life cycle processes, the selection of the most appropriate material/s is deemed a considerable undertaking. Throughout a building’s lifecycle that extends from design, construction, operation, maintenance, renovation, until demolition, the selection of sustainable material/s is a particularly crucial task for the development and establishment of such structures. Traditionally, there are three main materials for general construction: (1) Steel, (2) Concrete and (3) Timber. These materials not only influence the function within the structure, but also affect the operation cost and energy usage. Operation cost reduction and energy savings are typically elements of the sustainable construction sphere. However, in developing countries, there is a variety of highly critical factors, which can impact material selection as well as the long-term sustainability of the structure, including: Fire Performance, Environmental Impact, Structural Performance (strength and durability), and Functioning Capabilities. Accordingly, this paper will first compare the sustainability of these three key materials and then converse with appropriate processes for material selection. Attention will be given to the sustainable construction recompense associated with the different material selection factors. Doing so ensures a more sustainable built environment by means of an improved material selection process.

通过改进材料选择过程实现可持续建设
虽然可持续建筑涉及建筑结构和使用适当的生命周期过程,但选择最合适的材料被认为是一项艰巨的任务。在从设计、施工、运营、维护、翻新到拆除的整个建筑生命周期中,可持续材料的选择对于此类结构的开发和建立来说是一项特别重要的任务。传统上,一般建筑有三种主要材料:(1)钢、(2)混凝土和(3)木材。这些材料不仅影响结构内的功能,还影响操作成本和能源使用。降低运营成本和节约能源是可持续建筑领域的典型组成部分。然而,在发展中国家,有各种高度关键的因素,这些因素可能影响材料选择以及结构的长期可持续性,包括:防火性能、环境影响、结构性能(强度和耐久性)和功能能力。因此,本文将首先比较这三种关键材料的可持续性,然后讨论材料选择的适当过程。将注意与不同材料选择因素相关的可持续建筑补偿。这样做可以通过改进材料选择过程来确保更可持续的建筑环境。
