The Frontline Battle for Greener Design Shifts to the Industrial Sector

January 11, 2018Murphy Contruction NewsBy Murphy Construction Staff
The Frontline Battle for Greener Design Shifts to the Industrial Sector

The push is steady to move all types of construction towards greener design, but it has taken longer for the industrial sector to reasonably join the movement to save natural resources. Increased technology towards greener building products, equipment, and essential fixtures now makes this a viable option.

Reap Big Rewards Making the Right Green Design Choices

The cost of designing and building a greener industrial building was financially unfeasible a decade ago. The reason was due to the sheer lack of green options for larger structures, such as lighting or water conservation features. Items like LED light fixtures for industrial settings are readily available and at a comparable cost to other types. The incentives have been put in place to encourage greener design and development in all phases and categories of construction.

Industrial Level Improvements In Energy Efficiency

The equipment choices needed to heat, cool, light, ventilate, and provide electrical service throughout a manufacturing or similar facility have an increasing focus on energy savings. The positive impact on the environment can be even more significant than a standard home. Industrial buildings and operations are notorious for using a great deal of electricity and water. Trimming this usage by 25 to 30 percent is a dramatic drop that is an undeniable benefit to the community.

Resource Conservation to Waste Management

Conserving natural resources is a hallmark goal of green design. The use of skylights and well-placed windows use natural light, reducing the use of electrical lighting fixtures. Low-flow toilets, waterless urinals, and on-demand water heaters all work together to bring down the costs and use of natural resources. Industrial design with a greener edge will also take recycling and waste management into account. Customized areas are designed to fit a specific industry.

Healthier, Ergonomic Environments

The use of infrared heating and fan-generated cooling help keep the ambient temperature within an acceptable range, without spending a fortune on utility bills. French drain systems can take natural rainwater and send it to the areas that typically need irrigation and sprinkler systems. Building inviting, comfortable stairways help encourage employees to walk, rather than ride an elevator. This exercise helps promote better health. All of these features combine to create a more ergonomic setting for employees working within an industrial environment.
