Can green building technologies be used in the ambit of the United States of America? Well, it can be done, certainly, though lots of dubieties were in the past. This assertion has been made by the recent publication of Mechanical Contractors Education and Research Foundation.
The publication comprises enlightening new study penned by Jerry Yudelson, who is a prominent green building consultant with Yudelson Associates. It is learnt, Paul Ehrlich of Building Intelligence Group LLC has also made significant contributions in this.
This document affirms that the thriving green building technologies of Europe can also be used in the realm of US with full vigor. However, the best result can be found if they are used in chilled beams and active or vibrant façades. The study, above all, deals with the European advancements which can be taken advantage of by the architects, engineers and builders of America to create high-performance green buildings at reasonable costs. Jerry Yudelson, speaking on this, said, “A number of European countries have had years of experience creating energy-efficient structures.” “The idea was to discover which concepts, technologies, products and systems might be potentially applicable for use in North America.”
It has been found that the author for the creation of the research study entitled, “European Green Building Technologies” and collation of essential evidences made an inhuman effort. He is learnt to make a detailed analysis of European innovations in conjunction with extensive research. He traveled to a large number of projects to get a hands-on experience, in addition, and had a series of discussions with the experts of the European green building industry.
The entire team was amazed due to the presence of a large number of energy-efficient structures in the domain of Europe and concluded that widely used technologies of this area could also be used in several projects across North America. However, adequate care must be taken since each of these technologies also throws up design and construction challenges from time to time.
Yudelson concludes, “We believe that architects, mechanical engineers and contractors have much to learn from the European experience and we’re pleased that this new study provides easy access to that knowledge.”
