Sustainable construction was part of the conversation at COP28 this autumn, as continued urban growth and a lack of environmentally conscious building methods are being heavily scrutinised. Consequently, sustainable construction is becoming an increasingly important consideration when undertaking a large-scale build project.
Whilst having a range of benefits, bathroom pods can also contribute to the energy efficiency of a build, here are 3 reasons why pre-fabricated pod construction is the environmental choice.
ENERGY EFFICIENT
Pods offer the opportunity to be more energy efficient than standard fit bathrooms. Throughout their manufacturing, install and usage process, pods consume less energy. Additionally, the selection of fittings used can emphasise low water and energy consumption, which in turn has the potential to enhance the overall efficiency of pods.
MATERIAL EFFICIENCY
Bathroom pods undergo a prefabricated build process that prioritises quality control and minimises the use of raw materials. This precision in design significantly reduces wastage when compared to traditional on-site bathroom constructions.
LABOUR EFFICIENCY
With bathroom pods being constructed offsite, it means that less people are required for the install process, resulting in fewer project delays, and consequently enabling timely programme delivery.
