Green Building

The creation of serene interior environments in the heart of dense metropolitan areas is a growing challenge for architects, as the sounds of traffic, construction, and public transit increasingly penetrate the building envelope. By implementing sophisticated acoustic insulation and high-performance soundproofing technologies across all exterior systems, developers can significantly mitigate the impact of environmental noise, ensuring that modern structures provide the quiet and comfort essential for productivity and well-being.

The strategic implementation of solar control mechanisms is a cornerstone of modern bioclimatic architecture, providing a vital layer of protection against excessive heat gain while maximizing the benefits of natural illumination. By utilizing sophisticated hardware and intelligent design principles, these components significantly reduce the operational carbon footprint of a structure, ensuring that internal climates remain stable and comfortable without an over-reliance on mechanical cooling technologies.

Modern architectural envelopes have transcended their traditional role as mere aesthetic coverings, evolving into complex, high-performance biological skins that actively manage energy, light, and structural integrity. The deployment of sophisticated engineering solutions within the building exterior ensures a harmonious balance between internal occupant needs and external environmental stressors, ultimately setting new benchmarks for durability and operational efficiency in the built environment.

In November 2025, LiuGong officially went ahead and unveiled its new E-Intelligence brand at the 2025 Global Dealer Conference as well as the 11•26 Global Customer Day that was held in Liuzhou. This worldwide launch indeed marks a major landmark...

The European Commission has unveiled a standardised calculation framework that will fundamentally reshape how the construction industry measures and reports the environmental impact of building materials. The new regulation creates a level playing field across member states by establishing...

The construction industry increasingly turns toward alternative binders and supplementary cementitious materials to reduce carbon emissions and environmental impact. From fly ash and metakaolin to geopolymers and bio-based binders, these innovative materials enhance concrete durability while cutting Portland cement consumption. This exploration reveals how material innovation is reshaping sustainable construction practices by balancing performance requirements with environmental responsibility, enabling contractors to meet green building standards without compromising structural integrity.

RMIT University, Australia researchers are coming up with a method so as to lessen the carbon effect of infrastructure through transforming the common organic waste into viable construction materials. The study has been published in the International Journal of...
