Containers
There are so many new ways you make a home, one of the most popular ways to make a
home is from containers. When it comes to building a home from a shipping container
there are many things you must consider.
 Factors when building a container home:
Affor-ability
Building a home from a
container is extremely cost
effective. If you've already
searched into the cost of new or
second hand container you
obviously know what Im
talking about.
Time
Cause the most of homes are
already built, then you can have
a complete home built in short
time.
Design
You can easy and cheap
decorate a shipping container
to create a modern sleek look.
Unique
Even container homes are
rising up now, they are still
unique and will highlighting
from every other home.
Strength
Shipping containers are build
extremely strong with few weak
points making them a great
starting point.
Ecology
By recycling an old container
and using it to build with is a
great green idea and many
other people will see the
important example you're
setting.
The millennium has embraced an ecologically friendly approach to
architectural design.

The world of bussiness have notice their responsibility in minimizing the

impact of our carbon footprint. This has created a synergetic relationship
with sustainable models and uses of energy.
Nowadays buildings are not made of just simple glass, concrete and stone. You
don’t have to rely on lumberyards and cement mills. Professional architecs are
including more unusual uses for materials. By incorporated now are organic
materials like:
straw bale, recycled wood, tin and old shipping containers.

Leaving to side from relying on such green ideas, new state of the art building
materials also incorporate technology to store thermal energy.
The little group of nine flats is part of a
revolution in the way population in Britain are
going on to live their lives. Pressure on taxes,
bills and the rise of the single household
particularly, as well as concern for the
environment, is creating a huge increase in
“co-housing” – groups of homes that pool
resources to lower overall mainteniance prices.
Shared areas can include outdoor space, an
entertainment area, guest accommodation,
district heating systems and laundry rooms.

While people who like “alternative” ways of

living Most like the containers, it is an eco-
nomic alternative and world friendly.
A sustainable building is a building whose design or renovation process is
the object of an approach based on the eco-design approach: usage
definition, validation and consultation by stakeholders, design by
introducing environmental thinking, continuous improvement.
A sustainable building is therefore:
1._In_terms_of_energy: 2._In_terms_of_upkeep-maintenance:
significant reduction in choice of materials, equipment and
heating and cooling implementation requiring limited upkeep,
requirements, energy gain facilitating maintenance and promoting
optimization, power long life for the entire site. In terms of
consumption limitation overall cost: take into account direct and
(lighting and ventilation indirect costs, the increase in energy costs
management, efficient as well as the impact on health and the
equipment). environment. Only 20% of the overall cost
of a building relates to construction, 80% is
due to its operation (maintenance and
consumption).
By combine the building into its environment:
• bioclimatic architecture,
• taking into account architectural issues,
• stormwater management, improvement in cycle paths,
• consideration of site characteristics and mother nature dissasters
(specific risks, meteorology).

Reducing CO2 emissions and the impact on the planet:

• choice of low embodied energy construction materials derived from
natural and renewable resources,
• rainwater recovery,
• production of renewable energy.

By reducing the nuisances of the construction site and activity:

• discharge limitation (dust, wastewater, etc.),
• noise abatement,
• waste sorting and recovery.
With controlled solar supply in the summer and passive cooling:
• Canadian wells,
• natural ventilation,
• night cooling.

Optimization via dynamic thermal simulation. With controlled natural

light and pleasant views:
• natural light analysis in the rooms and anti- dazzle treatment.

With a healthy and pure environment:

• choice of construction materials with a low impact on healt,
• eco maintenance methods,
• improvement in air and water quality.
A green building is created to reduce the general impact of the built-up
environment on peoples health and the natural environment, through:
1. 2. 3.
The good use of Protecting health and Reducing waste,
energy, water and improving employee pollution, harm and
other natural productivity. all the factors who can

environment.
There remains a great deal of effort to make in promoting eco-construction
and renovation with our populations. Today the most people recognise the
expression Green Building and most consider it with a positive topic.

Among those who note the eco-construction under a positive light, many are
ignorant of the specific nature of such practices. Most of the people
ignore what distinguishes them from normal construction methods, how
they are integrated into residential construction and what the selection of
ecological options implies for companies and acquirers.
therefore within the population there
is a lack of information, combined
with the circulation of several
misconceptions. However, most
people associated a particular style
with eco-construction, something
modern and contemporary, with the
addition of rare systems such as solar
panels and water heaters,
geothermal systems or green
roofs.

The expectations of today’s

owners and occupants in terms of
maintenance, operation and comfort
are very high, which results in
corresponding technological and
energy costs. An important vector for
promoting ecological construction is
construction regulations.
