Today is the annual tree planting festival in China,at this time in previous years, Yumiteel will have a tree planting event. But because of the novel coronavirus,Yumisteel can’t arrange any activities.In 2020, forest fires, bat disasters, locust disasters, and novel coronavirus are all the consequences of human destruction of the ecological balance. Nature has sounded the alarm for us, it’s time for us to protect the environment.

Then how to do?

(Self-made garbage recycling bin for workshop)

As an independent individual, each of us can start from some little things,such as planting a small tree, turning on the air conditioner less, sorting garbage,etc.

As an enterprise, you can start by saving a piece of paper, using less electricity, and reducing a little waste.

As a steel structure company for lamina panel, for example polyurethane sandwich panels, which the best insulation material in the world,you can start by foaming with pentane to protect the ozone layer.

Yumisteel is doing so.We have been insisting on doing waste sorting, reducing the number of times to turn on the air conditioner, recycling waste paper, and using environmentally friendly pentane foaming for our PU panel.No only this,our high-end metal sandwich panels, such as polyurethane energy-saving metal panels and metal sandwich manual purification panels, they have also helped the construction of major electric heating projects all over the world. This can be considered as a further contribution to the protection of the environment. Here we show you some projects reference.

Tips for you to have one green steel structure buildings

1)Location:

If you can reuse the existing foundation,it can avoid razing greenfield sites and minimizes the excavation required.

2)Orientation:

The orientation of the building can be designed in advance according to the balance of sunlight and shadow.

3)Roof technology:

Steel panels are the best one that can fulfill cool roof, and are ideal for mounting solar power systems to produce electricity for the building and the local grid at the same time.

4)Insulation:

Sandwich panel is a good choice of insulating material, fast installation and environmental protection.

5)Interior layout:

The interior layout should be designed to capture and eliminate heat as our request. Living areas on the north and south reduce the amount of light and heat during the day while non-living area should be placed on the east and west sides of the building.

6)Lighting

Placing the windows and skylights in correct position,during design process,according to natural lighting,this is to reduce electricity usage. If you choose lamps, LED lights are a good choice,they have a long life, requiring the purchase of fewer bulbs over the lifetime of the fixture.

7)Heating and cooling supply

Zoned heating and air conditioning allows you to heat or cool specific areas instead of the entire building. A zoned system costs a bit more up front but pays for itself over time in lower utility bills.

8)Eco-friendly materials

Use less paints, wood finishes, carpets, flooring and other finishing products emanate volatile compounds that create a slightly toxic environment in enclosed spaces. Choose some products that no need to processed again at site,such as wall sandwich panels, steel beams,etc.

9)Expand upward

Expand upward,not outward,in this way,you don’t need to build one more foundation.And modular buildings are the best choices,since it’s easily assembled at site,and much more cost saving.

10)Shading design

An overhang or awning above windows facing the sun can lower your air conditioning bills in the summer by reducing the light entering the building.
