subject: Temporary Fabric Buildings: An Energy-efficient Solution [print this page] Putting up a building is very costly and so many industries are looking for a cost-efficient alternative solution.
Many industries today require weather protection for a variety of projects. One of solutions is installing a temporary structure. Temporary fabric shelters have obvious advantages over the conventional buildings used for the purpose of storage and protection. One of advantages of temporary fabric buildings is that they are energy efficient. Green buildings are constructed to focus on enhancing the efficiency of resources used - energy, materials and water, while reducing building impacts on the environment during the building's lifecycle. These buildings are made from non toxic, reusable green materials which make it an energy efficient solution.
The fabric used in construction of these temporary shelters is translucent which provides sufficient light inside these buildings for work. These buildings can be custom designed in any shapes & sizes and can be relocated as well, which is not possible in the case of conventional storage buildings. Temporary fabric shelters are made up of tensioned fabric which can be easily mounted on gravel, dirt, asphalt, barges, pilings or concrete without the need for any foundation, thus making them cost effective as well. These buildings are green conscious and eco friendly and are a perfect example for saving energy.
The installation of temporary fabric buildings is easy, cost effective and saves a lot of time and energy. Installation for small temporary shelters can be completed within a few hours and large complex structures can take 4-6 weeks to be constructed.
Generally 3 types of installations options are possible- self installation, technical representative installation service and turnkey installation (where the service providers arrange the crew and equipment to do the installation from start to finish)
Remember, green buildings help to create a better environment. These buildings are much better and convenient than the conventional storage buildings and have advantages like energy efficiency, corrosion protection, easy installation and cost efficiency just to name a few.
