11 Green Building materials way better than Concrete

- We’re surrounded by concrete; it’s in our buildings, our roads, our tunnels, and runways. In fact, we produce around 10 billion tonnes of concrete every year, that’s more than a tonne each for every person on earth.
Strong, durable, and affordable, the benefits of concrete are undeniable. But there’s one issue that gives the material a bad name - its carbon intensive production process.
Most of the components of concrete - water, sand, and gravel - are natural, but its one key ingredient - cement - has major environmental implications. Industrial extraction and high temperatures in the production process lead to one tonne of CO2 emitted for every tonne of cement produced. This accounts for 5% of annual global anthropogenic CO2 produced.
But it doesn't have to be that way. We have collated 11 green building materials that offer sustainable alternatives to concrete, and a lower environmental impact.

Another green building material is the solar activated facade SAF. It is a passive solar system made of wood and glass that can capture passive solar energy and transfer into the interior thereby reducing the heat loss during the winter period.
Geopolymer concrete should also come in this video
Great things....very industrious indeed.
Bricks, adoves, bamboo!
Thank you 🌹
@Archworld.
Allthough most materials themselves look very good an promising, the big question ofcourse is "Can the manufacturing of the plant based materials scale up to meet modern demands?"..
Does photosynthesis efficiency meet the sheer quantity of materials needed in contemporary society, without exhausting the soil it's harvested from?
Mycelium can be mass produced. Its rather fast, really cheap and you can store it easily.
@@cannabico6621 that's not a very... "thermodynamic" answer.
What about their fire resisting property?
How about Granite ?
Are they all products has long life
I want to make my shoes factory with LEED v4.1 Green Building System , need suggestion .
Rammed earth

You left out the vary best building material pumice crete
Hi
İndustries are not responsible for implementing sustainable practies.
Embodied energy of a material/object is a fundamental index of impact on the sustainability.
Are these T or F?
No information here; wanted comparisons and R values. Interesting video, but no benefit to someone researching and comparing materials to use for a new build.
Sure, Google it. It is just a short explanation. If no good source, make one on the Wikipedia. ;)
it should have advantages and disadvantages included, for each material
If you want in-depth knowledge research it yourself. The video is 3 minutes long and gives some great examples for you to look into, too many people like you that see the glass half empty.
@@Sammy-vc3nu hello. If "too many people" want information, then perhaps the video provider would be well served (and we information consumers as well) in taking the critique into account and provide the information. Just sayin'.
@T Thinker you said there was no information and no benefit to someone researching materials... Maybe the information is limited but it's still useful- or was to me anyway for finding methods to base research off. It's 11 materials in a free, 3 minutes video what would more would you expect?
so which of these can i buy from home depot?
Actually... all of these you have to make.
At least grasscrete will be easy.
Bamboo is gold, in the hand of the wise.
a lot of these ideas are just concept-stage and barely scrape the surface. They are being promoted by people who dont really understand the science involved. Some real-world highly useful options include solvent-free paints eg Lakeland Paints - which are solvent-free, VOC-free, Non-toxic and actually edible ! Surely, paint solvent is a tiny concern you might think ?? Not at all - paint emitted 24 MILLION tons of greenhouse-gas solvents into the atmosphere last year and every year (WHO 180 et al) - and these solvents are on average 20-50x worse than CO2. So - if you really want to do something to help counter global warming you could do a lot worse than switch to one of the VOC-Free paints out there.
using wood may be better to alternative but I think we have to reduce the sole purpose of it for building materials as many trees are already cut for many purposes... saving trees is actually being environment friendly and what is regarded as green.
Protecting forests is critical, but utilizing wood effectively is incredibly valuable.
It's one of few truly renewable resources, and any wood put into a home has its constituent carbon pulled out of the atmosphere for well over 50 years (between the time it takes to grow the tree to harvest and the time until the house is demolished.)
If we nurture a culture of home deconstruction instead of demolishment, we can continue to extend that timeline with the repurposing of lumber.
Why is concrete not considered green?.
Concrete has constituents like cement that emits tonnes of carbon dioxide during it's production and application. Concrete cannot be called green unless it's constituents are replaced by greener materials like recycled construction,
agricultural or industrial waste.
@@archworld9951 what did the Romans use? Their concrete lasts 2000 years and counting and all their ingredients were natural.
Tinder boxes.
Ask the Japanese about the fire bombings during WW2.
That can be said about almost every house in America, why do you build your houses out of wood? In Europe it’s all stone and brick.
We won't have a choice soon enough. World is running out of the requisite materials to make concrete.
Are you trying to make my ears bleed?
awesome track!!!! =)
the music is annoying
And does Home Depot have a green building material section. Oh yes they do, it on that Concrete building that used to be a Forrest area.
This music is horrendous
By cutting trees & using it In green building .how it is a sustainable building.means here we effecting the environment by cutting trees
Because a lot of the orgs that are doing it make you plant 3 or 4 trees for every one cut down wood is by far the best. The only problem becomes the amount of people on earth vs amount of trees.
well to mine rocks to make concrete you have to clear whats in the area first and then you'll make a huge hole and use a lot of energy to manufacture cement. the video is shallow af tho
I too was wondering this.Trees cut how are going to replant so much
Concrete is much more harmful. Trees are renewable. Concrete emmits a significant percentage of our C02 emissions. It is the 3rd ranking C02 man-made emission. Also to make cement, we have to mine for aluminum and iron. Those has a different set of environmental impacts. To create concrete, we also need sand-which we are starting to run out of because of huge demand created by the reliance to concrete and glass in todays architecture. Plus, not all wood materials are hard to grow. Bamboo for example is probably the most sustainable plant you can build out of. They can grow up to 35 inch a day and a whole bamboo forest could re grow in a couple years. Compared to using concrete, using renewable materials are better than stripping sand away from our beaches and seas and emmiting 8% of the world's co2 emissions. Of course people also has to be responsible when using these alternatives. these alternatives could distribute the market and slow down our emissions and sand use.
It even more possible to create a sustainable building from wood materials then concrete because you can grow more wood. To make concrete, we can run out of materials iron aluminum and sand which you cannot regrow like a plant in a few years.
The music was obnoxious and Beyond painful!
Get rid of that terrible music
Thumbs down for a crappy music video, guess I need to go to a music video site to get building information with no music..
Thank you for your feedback
