Steel Buildings And Your Energy Bill

metal building energy costs cut

Steel constructions have become very popular lately, and this is due to the advantageous ratio between efficiency, time, versatility and economy.

From production plants to warehouses, from car workshops to offices, steel constructions are the best solution. They are also ideal for large buildings, where uninterrupted space is needed.

The construction of a building on a metal frame system involves lower costs than in the case of a traditional construction. There are no surprise costs, no delays caused by bad weather… Such a building is easy to install and requires reduced workforce.

Savings are also possible due to the energy and thermal efficiency.

Metal buildings are or can be thermally insulated, for high thermal efficiency. They can also be provided with large windows that offer natural light throughout the day. In addition, they are weather resistant and the flexibility of the profiles makes them the most suitable choice in any environment.

Benefits of an energy efficient steel building:

  • Heat losses are reduced, resulting in savings on heating-cooling costs
  • Due to the reduced heat losses, it is not necessary to oversize the heating and cooling equipment
  • The indoor environment in a properly sealed and insulated metal building is easier to control; for this reason, although it seems a contradiction, a metal building is much easier to ventilate, requiring lower capacity equipment.
  • Better indoor climate and air quality (less dust, pollen and insects)
  • Improved security of the production process
  • Ensuring the storage of goods and materials
