The key to shift the construction industry towards material-efficient solutions
Massive, uncontrolled material overuse of structural materials in buildings. Undervalued role of structural engineers, considered mere code-compliers. Underweigh of the structure's importance in Green Building Rating Systems.
The metric "Structural Efficiency" objectively assesses the proper use of materials in building structures. Demonstrates >90% material savings are possible, (we have reached 92% already) Empowers structural engineers (demonstrate optimisation) and improves structure's assessment by GBRSs
Engineers, Architects and Contractors using the exclusive software tools to calculate structural efficiency. Developers getting those results independently certified.
It is specifically structural, independent from materials, building use or shape, location... thus the only way to empower engineers by demonstrating their added value through material optimisation. It is specific but entirely objective, and fully compatible / complementary to any other metric or sustainable initiative for buildings.
