Sustainability

Creating spaces that don’t cost the earth.

Sustainability in building developments is a vast and complex subject that must be considered from the very earliest stages as the potential environmental impacts are very significant (ref. Technology Strategy Board).

The built environment accounts for:

  • 45% of total UK carbon emissions (27% from domestic buildings and 18% from non-domestic).

  • 72% of domestic emissions arise from space heating and the provision of hot water.

  • 32% of landfill waste comes from the construction and demolition of buildings.

  • 13% of products delivered to construction sites are sent directly to landfill without being used. 

The government has set targets to reduce greenhouse gases dramatically by 78%  before 2035 and achieve zero carbon by 2050. 

Every design decision that is taken must assess the best method to achieve these goals. The focus in the past has been on capital cost, however the application of whole life costs and the cost of ownership is helping clients make more informed decision.

Maxi Space’s system is recyclable and with the high insulation values that can be achieved combined with the ability to relocate and re-use the assets after its services life we can achieve these goals being set to save the planet.

Modular buildings have a range of environmental benefits due to the materials used and methods of construction
