Structural Prefabrication
Structural Prefabrication is a method where building parts like walls, floors, or beams are made in a factory and then brought to the construction site ready to be put together. This approach helps save energy and time because the factory setting allows for better control of materials and less waste. When parts are made in a controlled place, it is easier to use insulation and smart layering, which can help buildings keep a steady temperature and use less heating or cooling. This way, designers can plan for better airflow and sunlight, making buildings more comfortable and efficient from the start.
