Design in Modular Construction
About this book
Modular construction can dramatically improve efficiency in construction, through factory production of pre-engineered building units and their delivery to the site either as entire buildings or as substantial elements. The required technology and application are developing rapidly, but design is still in its infancy. Good design requires a knowled

Sustainability
in
modular
construction
251
total
for
a
concrete
module
and
7%
for
a
light
steel
module,
and
so
transport
is
not
a
negligible
factor
in
these
assessments.
Factors
that
are
not
included
in
this
assessment
are
the
wastage
of
materials
and
the
construction
opera-
tions.
The
embodied
carbon
of
the
on-site
construction
process
is
generally
taken
as
about
5%
of
that
of
the
materials
used,
and
this
may
be
considered
to
reduce
to
2
to
3%
in
modular
construction
because
of
its
lower
use
of
machinery
and
equipment,
site
huts,
and
daily
travelling
to
and
from
the
site.
The
energy
required
to
lift
and
install
the
modules
is
relatively
small.
It
may
be
concluded
from
this
study
that
the
embod-
ied
carbon
in
the
structural
fabric
of
a
light
steel
mod-
ule
is
30%
less
than
that
in
a
concrete
module,
when
expressed
per
unit
floor
area.
Both
methods
of
con-
struction
possess
lower
embodied
carbon
than
the
equivalent
in
situ
construction,
partly
because
of
the
reduced
wastage
in
materials.
A
more
sophisticated
analysis
may
take
account
of
the
variable
elements
in
the
external
insulation,
cladding,
and
foundations,
and
their
wastage
rates,
and
also
the
components
that
are
common
to
both
forms
of
construction.
