  1. 6. Innovation in Industrial Building Sustainability : Exploring timber frames as a viable alternative to steel frames in industrial buildings A case study of Sweco AB

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för samhällsbyggnad och industriell teknik

    Author : Kiavosh Saidi Mosanen; Ibrahim Mohamed Fathi Taha; [2023]
    Keywords : Sustainability; Industrial buildings; Construction; Material selection; Timer; Steel; Innovation; Sustainability; Hållbarhet; Industribyggnader; Konstruktion; Materialval; Timer; Stål; Innovation; Hållbarhet;

    Abstract : Lund University (2020) describes that the material chosen for the construction of constructions significantly affects the environment. Due to the impact of the choice of construction materials on the environment, we have carried out an in-depth study where we examine the complex decision-making process when choosing frame materials concerning both external and internal factors where external influences become regulatory requirements related to global sustainability goals with the aim that the industrial construction industry can find sustainable solutions such as hybrid solutions in the choice of frame materials, while internal factors involve financial considerations linked to the protection of materials against environmental conditions and challenges that industrial buildings can face.
