How can sustainability be integrated into the design of steel buildings?
This study introduces a ๐ฌ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ญ๐๐ข๐ง๐๐๐ข๐ฅ๐ข๐ญ๐ฒ ๐ฅ๐ข๐ฆ๐ข๐ญ ๐ฌ๐ญ๐๐ญ๐ ๐ฆ๐๐ญ๐ก๐จ๐๐จ๐ฅ๐จ๐ ๐ฒ, enabling the evaluation of environmental performance in a framework compatible with standard structural safety principles. By defining โ๐ซ๐๐ฌ๐ข๐ฌ๐ญ๐๐ง๐๐โ ๐๐ฎ๐ง๐๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง๐ฌ as target values for acceptable environmental impact, the methodology guides designers in making informed, sustainable choices. Demonstrated using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) indicator for pitched-roof steel industrial buildings, this approach can be extended to other environmental metrics and building types.
