How and Why More Companies are Prioritizing Green Building

It is a known fact that a successful business requires a solid infrastructure.  Amidst all the meticulously planned details that goes into the foundation of a business, a place to run its activities holds great importance in making the first impression to the viewer.  Sustainability of a business depends on every aspect of the business.   A building that serves as the address of the business is, nevertheless, important as a factor in determining its sustainability, and that is why green building is booming as a new trend in the modern world.


The need for green building

The emergence of industries and technology in the past few years has led to many environmental changes like global warming by creating a disruption in the ecological balance. To counter the environmental changes, various nations have come up with revised regulations concerning permissible standards of greenhouse emissions for their industries as well as safety standards. They target to reduce the overall carbon footprint of their nation by keeping the business processes in control, while simultaneously ensuring the safety of the employees.  Consequently more and more companies have started adopting the standards of sustainability. 

How companies do it

Some characteristics of green building include the usage of

●        Environment-friendly building materials,

●        Energy-efficient appliances,

●        Replacement of non-renewable source of energy with renewable sources where possible

●        Recycling non-biodegradable waste.

Parallel to adopting measures for environment protection, businesses who care to adhere to work standards make use of safety equipment like safety glass as part of their green building to promote a more comfortable and secure work environment.  This is because glass is a compostable material which is eco-friendly as well as employee-friendly.

Safety glass processors manufacture different types of glass with increased mechanical strength so that it stands pressure better than ordinary annealed glass.   It is made to avoid cracking easily and in case it does, it does not break into tiny pieces that pose a hazard at the workplace.  Safety glass offers greater shock resistance in case of flawed electric circuits.  Additional benefits of installing it is the protection it offers from noise pollution from external sources and harmful ultraviolet radiation from the sun. 

Benefits of green building

Though green building might require a higher initial investment, it proves to be cost-efficient in the long run.  With more number of companies moving towards green building, safety glass processors in India are in demand for the tempered and laminated glass that has multiple industrial applications.  It is because safety glass serves the dual benefit of promoting a safer and more secure work culture while causing less damage to the environment in comparison to the plastic or cement materials used in the inside of the building.  Despite extreme precautions taken at the workplace, the factor of human error does exist and unfortunate incidents may occur, causing loss that could incur a lot of time and expenditure to recover.  By opting to use safety glass you could lessen the possible damage.  As the saying goes, 'it is better to be safe than to be sorry.’

We at FOSG believe in the concept of Green buildings and promote safety glass for making the country greener and safer for everyone.

ARE HOME WINDOWS MADE OF TEMPERED GLASS?

Image
The initiation of safety glasses has become essential in these modern times and to know whether home windows are made of tempered glass or not, you need to know about the important details and uses of safety glass and tempered glass.   Glass is awe-inspiring and beautiful building material. It is primarily because the use of glass doesn't end with a project's aesthetics. Modern revolutionary glass solutions have been developed to fulfill all requirements, from privacy to energy efficiency, from acoustic insulation to protection and health. Here, in terms of protection, we'll talk about one of the most common glass -toughened or tempered glass-and why adding it to your home is a must.   WHAT IS A TEMPERED GLASS AND WHERE IS IT USED? Tempered glass is a kind of safety glass known for its resistance and durable nature. Tempered glass is made from standard glass which underwent a process of thermal tempering. The tempering process brings the outer surface into compres...

Why should you choose High Performance Safety Glass?

Image
High-performance safety glass is in demand for a range of uses that need durable and consistent glass products, including windows for manufacturing and safety uses that must resist bullets, explosions, and high pressure. In addition to windows, high-performance safety glass is helpful for industrial lighting products, military, medical and many other uses. High-Performance Safety Glass Stress Points The value of high-performance glass comes from its high breaking point and the manner in which it breaks. Rather than shattering into long, sharp pieces like standard annealed glass, high-performance safety glass, or tempered glass breaks into small pebble-shaped pieces that are less likely to cause severe injury. High-performance Safety glass is used particularly in situations where certain external forces would break untreated glass, where safety glass can withstand force more easily. It is especially useful in applications where the following factors may be encountered: ...

Safety Glass - How it helps environment

Image
With the occurrence of global warming and ecological troubles becoming a big problem over the last few decades, every industry is trying to use equipments that will reduce the effects of the same. With the use of sustainable material increasing by the day in the world, property developers or Builders and real estate companies are also doing their bit in improving the environment for a future. This has led to the increase of green buildings. One of the most significant materials in the building of a green building is glass. Green Buildings The development of green buildings is a start towards that direction. Green buildings are buildings which use a lesser amount of water, optimize energy efficiency, save natural resources, produce less waste and offer healthier spaces for occupants, as compared to a normal building. Use of Glass in Architecture of Green Buildings To accomplish all of this, Property developers use glass as a main component throughout the construction....
