How to Make Your Building Design Greener With Aluminum 

Environmentally friendly aluminum and construction

Should you add aluminum to your green building design?

Aluminum has many properties that make it an ideal choice for design.

It has two properties, especially green:

It is highly recyclable: any aluminum you have used in your project may have been used.

It's lightweight and sturdy: the excellent strength-to-weight ratio of aluminum helps you create some unique features.

Here are 5 simple ideas to make your building project more environmentally friendly.

#1 - Lightweight frame system made of aluminum for double and triple glazing. This will improve the heat dissipation of your windows.

#2 - Install an aluminum awning on the outside of the building. These will help keep the interior cool. Optimize building energy performance and reduce the need for HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning).

#3 - Use a frame made of modern aluminum to support heavy glass spans. These will allow more natural sunlight to enter and maximize daylight. Allow more light to enter the building to keep employees happy and reduce energy costs.

#4 - Integrate solar cells into your building with aluminum frames. This will reduce the need for energy from fossil fuels. Generate green power that meets your energy needs.

#5 - Use aluminum TDD (tubular daylighting equipment). These will bring more natural light to the interior of the building. Reduce energy costs and make building users feel at ease.
