SUSTAINABILITY
Along with the concept of sustainable development, innovations are also being implemented in construction sector applications and materials. In this sense, the focus of different concepts such as green building, environmentally friendly building, smart building is also related to sustainable construction.
Sustainable construction, where environmentally friendly and ecological materials, techniques and applications are seen, aims to design by taking environmental factors into consideration. It aims to improve the climate, conditions, materials used, energy efficiency, renewable energy sources, and waste production of the place where the construction is made.
Although steel is one of the most important building materials in the growth and development of the construction sector, it has a different importance in terms of sustainability.
Because the heat generated during steel production and the amount of water used are disadvantageous in terms of environment. On the other hand, it is an element that increases the strength and resistance of the building.
For this reason, the concept of “green steel” has started to come to the fore in steel production.
Along with the concept of sustainable development, innovations are also being implemented in construction sector applications and materials.

Sustainable construction, which includes environmentally friendly and ecological materials, techniques and applications, aims to design by taking environmental factors into consideration. It aims to improve the climate of the construction site, its conditions, the materials used, energy efficiency, renewable energy sources and waste production.
