Explore the Benefits of Sustainability in Architecture

1. Explore the Benefits of Sustainability in Architecture When it comes to exploring the benefits of sustainability in architecture there is hardly any better team to talk to than the team at Resonant Architecture. The architectural practice is built on more than two decades of experience as a professional architect in Oxfordshire, and have a wealth of knowledge when it comes to sustainability in the construction industry. One of the major benefits is good for all who will ever spend extended periods inside the building. As an architect, you need to consider the health and safety of those who will occupy the building you’ve designed even years after completion. Buildings that rely on sustainable materials have shown to be much healthier alternatives when you spend a vast amount of time in it over extended periods. Studies show us that indoor air is four to five times more polluted than outside air unless the construction and interior include sustainable material. The second benefit serves the entire world. Over the past number of years, the amount of waste that we are accumulating on earth is becoming rather overwhelming and is a matter of great concern for both governments and environmentalists alike. Furthermore, the construction industry is responsible for a large percentage of this waste and contributes about 34% of our annual waste. Construction that takes place from sustainable materials can reduce this waste percentage tremendously. The reality is that the environment can’t take the load of waste that civilization is creating for much longer and not only do we need to find alternative solutions to get rid of this waste, but we also need to find ways to reduce the amount of waste we produce. Sustainability in construction can do just that.

2. As professional architects, this team consider it their obligation to see how they can make optimal use of materials and are trying to use the material in a manner where it can be recycled. They also opt to design buildings to be more self-sufficient and less wasteful when it comes to our natural resources. An example of such a building is that the design would include ways to capture rainwater to use inside the building and to be less reliant on alternative resources. The team at Resonant Architecture is very excited about the current trend in construction as not only is the use of sustainable solutions an increasing trend but is also the perfect time to experiment in the industry to determine how they can better utilize existing materials to their benefit. It is a time when there are new possibilities and truly an evolution in the industry taking place. Another feature of this type of building that is taking the industry by storm is the fact that the professionals who are passionate about the new way of building are considering features such as noise reduction far more seriously. They consider the impact that noise has on the mental health of people who are continuously exposed to it and this is another long-term health benefit they design into their building plans, using sustainable solutions. Designing a building is far more than merely getting construction off the ground. Today this industry has advanced to the point where it is now a process where these professionals consider a range of factors. As the goal is to no longer just create a building but to design a space where those who spend their days on the inside, enjoy all these benefits. The result that you can expect from all these initiatives to improve health and wellness in these buildings is far more productive people and this is an asset to any company who makes such a building their business address.
