In addition, the water required for curing is another reason why many countries are adopting new building code to use environmental friendly building materials.
In the Middle East, for instance, its governments are adopting new water saving building materials so that it can preserve its precious water reserve which is depleting at the fastest rate in history.
In China, it is catching up to the standards set in the US and Europe to adopt higher grade rebar. The higher - grade rebar requires less iron and more vanadium for production, the change in this building code will reduce the demand for iron ore and also reduce the carbon emission for the steel makers.
The building industry is likely to undergo a major transformation in terms of the building materials it uses over the next 2 decades, new products are already being developed to meet the new standards & codes set by the government worldwide.
For those interested to join the green industry, look at different industries and assess if they will be directly influenced by the new revolution.
