In previous posts, we have already discussed some of the benefits of using modular construction compared to traditional construction techniques. Today we tell you the reasons why modular construction is more sustainable.

Reasons why modular construction is more sustainable
- The modular construction is carried out in a workshop or factory for later assembly at the final location. In the location, only the foundation work is done. Therefore, not so much waste is generated. Being out of the final location, the waste on site is non-existent.
- The emission of C02 gases and noise pollution are reduced. The production process, being in a factory, causes the energy used to follow the energy efficiency regulations.
- The modular construction allows recycled and returnable materials to be included. Construction materials such as glass, wood, aluminum. The use of recycled materials are as valid as new ones, even treatments can be used that improve their original qualities and, obviously, the maximum quality and safety in their use are guaranteed.
- The modular construction is recyclable and reusable. Yes, the foundation is used, but if a new site needs to be sought or minimized or expanded, it would be possible. What do you mean? The modular construction is based on modules that can be assembled and disassembled and replaced, as the base modules are manufactured in standard sizes so that they can be easily transported in containers.
In the event that it will not be located elsewhere, the modular construction allows the materials to be used for another project - The use of modular construction allows energy-saving systems to be used and energy and raw materials to be rationalized. Not only does the environment matter during the construction phase, but the orientation or systems and equipment of the building can help in the maintenance phase to save money on energy and, above all, to help the environment.
AECO sector is increasingly committed and aware of building techniques and models that not only optimize production but also involve and care for the environment.
