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.
