Website newsOptimised steel structures for a low carbon future
15 February 2024The construction industry is the world’s largest consumer of raw materials and the built environment accounts for between 25 and 40% of global CO2 emissions. The sector is responsible for nearly 40% of annual raw material use and around 39% of the total primary energy use. These numbers are set to increase.The most promising construction material in terms of low emissions and increasing circularity is steel. Although the steel industry is among the highest-emitting industries (about 7% of global carbon dioxide emissions), the carbon footprint of its manufacturing process has decreased over the last 25 years and today new low-carbon alternatives are cutting emissions faster than before. The circularity of steel, enhanced by the possibility to upcycle, unlike other materials, and its low-carbon alternatives have resulted in its use in innovative projects driven by sustainability.Efficient design of steel structures is key, designing with end-of-life in mind and specifying low-carbon alternatives. With design choices playing an important role, we need to rethink the design approach from a circular, more holistic, and therefore more sustainable perspective. The research paper ‘Why optimised steel structures will help reduce embodied carbon’ provides a brief overview of the steps being taken to decarbonise steelmaking and examines the impact of the construction sector on global emissions. The main objective of this paper is to put forth easy-to-use tools to help designers reduce the embodied carbon of their projects while offering guidance on evaluating sustainable solutions.

"An idea is salvation by imagination." Frank Lloyd Wright
One of the milestones in architecture was discovering the use of iron and steel for construction. What would the history of architecture have been without steel?
Steel allows even the most creative and bold imaginings to become reality. Moreover, steel's durability is one of the key properties that make it a sustainable material, which complies with the requirements of sustainable design.

There are no limits in shapes or structures - finishes, colours, and effects can all play an unusual role in all types of building elevations.…
Each architectural dream can be achieved through the steel facades and structure of the building. When it comes to structure, steel frames changed the fundamental concept of constructing a wall introducing the possibility to build lighter and higher while incorporating natural light without any restriction.
No other material has previously allowed such strength while preserving its lightness. The beauty of steel has influenced the architectural trend to maintain the visible structure as high-tech architecture, also known as structural expressionism.
Steel allows for the most technologically advanced high-rise buildings, bridge constructions, railway terminals, airports and so on.
