Analysis of environmental impact reduction based on construction in Steel Framing

Abstract

A new construction method called steel framing reduces waste and waste generated, however, in most developed countries this method is being replaced by panel construction. For its part, made of light steel, cold formed, galvanized and covered with cement panels on the outside and OSB vinyl coating, Steel Framing is based on galvanized steel profiles that make up the shape and supporting structure of the home. . This construction system is lightweight and allows any type of exterior and interior finish; It is sustainable, causes less impact on the environment and provides buildings with new habitability and energy saving characteristics, using better construction technologies in terms of safety, durability, quality and thermal comfort. It has been shown that the thermal behavior of the Steel Framing construction system can reach conditions similar to those of masonry and adequate insulation levels can be determined through modulation, giving greater resistance to the panels, resulting in lower heights bending for vertical posts. Insulating materials are placed on walls and mezzanines to limit the passage of noise and heat/cold.
