Its benefits mask dangerous environmental impacts, both for the planet and for human health. Therefore, from Pallars Fuestes we want to share the environmental impacts caused by unsustainable buildings.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This substance is mainly composed of cement, aggregates and water. As for the manufacture of cement, it is responsible for 7% of CO2 emissions into the atmosphere worldwide. And, unlike wood, that has a neutral balance by consuming less energy, its manufacture consumes enormous amounts of it. It is also the second industry that globally pollutes the air the most globally due to dust production.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although it has such a negative impact on the environment, it\u2019s not yet possible to propose its total replacement since there is no viable alternative. However, a great improvement for the sector is that the cement-concrete binomial decreases its presence in construction and forgoes part of its market to materials with better environmental credentials, such as wood.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][mk_fancy_title size=&#8221;27&#8243; line_height=&#8221;120&#8243; font_weight=&#8221;bold&#8221; margin_bottom=&#8221;0&#8243; font_family=&#8221;none&#8221; responsive_align=&#8221;left&#8221;]\n<h6><strong>Environmental impacts caused by unsustainable buildings<\/strong><\/h6>\n[\/mk_fancy_title][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1612778517679{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}&#8221;]<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Therefore, the environmental impacts caused by unsustainable buildings are:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">35% of CO2 emissions<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">More than 40% of energy consumption<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">More than 30% of material use and waste generation<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n[\/vc_column_text][mk_fancy_title size=&#8221;27&#8243; line_height=&#8221;120&#8243; font_weight=&#8221;bold&#8221; margin_bottom=&#8221;0&#8243; font_family=&#8221;none&#8221; responsive_align=&#8221;left&#8221;]\n<h6><strong>How to combat climate change?<\/strong><\/h6>\n[\/mk_fancy_title][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1612778564667{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}&#8221;]<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition to structural materials, a multitude of products are used in construction with similar problems regarding the environment, for example, steel, being the second most polluting material after concrete, brick, ceramic, steel and aluminum.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In order to combat climate change from the construction sector, a change of model and an increase in the use of less polluting products that require less energy in their manufacture is necessary.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the European Regulation on Construction Products (EU 305\/2011) among its essential requirements is the sustainable use of materials. This way, it imposes a new model of sustainable, green construction, with low CO2 emissions and energy efficiency.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As architect Alex de Rijke said, \u201cSteel was the building material of the 19th century and concrete of the 20th century.

In addition, its production and disposal does not pollute. Lastly, they guarantee that when the wood comes from a well-managed forest and carries a demanding forest certificate such as FSC, wood is undoubtedly the most ecological material compared to others whose manufacturing and disposal process consumes a lot of energy and pollutes.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1612779895261{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}&#8221;]\n<p id=\"tw-target-text\" class=\"tw-data-text tw-text-large XcVN5d tw-ta\" dir=\"ltr\" data-placeholder=\"Traducci\u00f3n\"><strong>If you want more information, do not hesitate to <a href=\"https:\/\/pallarsfustes.com\/es\/contacto\/\">contact<\/a> us!
