Prefabrication as the Construction Solution to Counter Climate Change
Construction activities have traditionally been notorious as major contributors to climate change. The inefficiencies in use of resources, disruption to ecological balances and increased greenhouse gas emissions have been the pressing issues faced by traditional construction methodologies. It is undeniable to ignore that conventional infrastructure development projects have had a significant role to play in challenging the global striving towards better sustainability. In order to attack climate change, we must adopt construction technologies that promise better environmental performance and highly sustainable development. Prefabrication is one such method that enables successful implementation of quality control, material efficiency as well as wastage reduction which leads to considerable impacts in emissions, resource efficiency as well as sustainable development. Prefabricated buildings as the solution to construction sector’s environmental problems Pref...
