A new £1 million 'Target Zero' project is looking at five major building types (schools, warehouses, offices, supermarkets and mixed use) and will generate fully-costed solutions demonstrating how to achieve the three highest BREEAM ratings and meet the changes to Part L of the Building Regulations.
BCSA and Corus have just published ‘The Case for Steel’ which sets out the advantages that steel offers to the construction sector. These advantages include:
• Health and safety – there is no-doubt that steel offers an inherently safer way to build;
• Offsite fabrication – steel offers consistently high quality standards, precision products and guaranteed strength and durability;
• Sustainability – steel is one of the most sustainable and widely used construction materials in the world. Its performance does not degrade over time and it can be multicycled;
• Flexibility – building owners value the light, open, airy spaces that can be created;
• Freedom – architects value the freedom that steel offers in helping to create their most ambitious visions;
• Cost – independent studies consistently show that steel is the most cost effective framing solutions for multi-storey buildings.
