The construction industry is acknowledging its role as one of the more important consumers of materials and energy . As the preservation of the earth's remaining natural resources becomes a global concern with all sectors finding ways to do their share , the construction sector has come up with the concept of the " green building " design . The green building system promotes energy savings , renewable raw materials , and minimized pollution . At the forefront of this green building revolution are pre-engineered and prefabricated steel buildings . Throughout their entire lifecycle , steel buildings , compared with concrete buildings , use lesser energy , have lesser material consumption , and lesser waste materials during their construction . Besides being 100 % recyclable and reusable , the steel used in prefabricated steel buildings can contribute toward several other LEED credits , either directly or indirectly . For instance , steel buildings , which are designed through the use of revolutionary engineering and technology , are weather tight and have superior structural integrity . The use of steel as a building envelope results in less air loss and better HVAC performance over the life of steel buildings . All the building components of steel buildings are manufactured to their exact specifications , which means that on-site waste is greatly minimized . When steel buildings are demolished , the magnetic properties of steel , greatly facilitates its separation from other materials , ready for recycling once again . The high LEED ratings of prefabricated steel buildings make them the intelligent choice over traditional methods of construction , especially for those who want to make their share in the " green revolution " .
