How can sustainability be integrated into the design of steel buildings?
This study introduces a 𝐬𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐥𝐢𝐦𝐢𝐭 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐝𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐲, enabling the evaluation of environmental performance in a framework compatible with standard structural safety principles. By defining ‘𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞’ 𝐟𝐮𝐧𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 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.
