TENDENCY OF CONSTRUCTION

Recovery is the construction industry in comparison to the hard stumble suffered by the crisis in years just past situation has not affected at all the enthusiasm by the quest for efficiency in housing, either by investors or by users.

According to EAI (Earth Advantage Institute) Organization nonprofit that delivers sustainable programs to investors of the construction in the United States, there are 10 trends that will prevail in the world of construction during the 2010

1. Systems of monitoring of energy. These control systems are introduced in the House by way of a control that is displayed on the screen and displays the energy performance of housing software.
2. Institutions and agencies will gradually begin to establish standards to "label" different constructions made based on their performance and make them accessible to citizens as public data in such a way of encouraging investors to build with highest standards of efficiency and also encourage owners to implement efficiency improvements in their homes in order to increase the resale value of the properties.
3. The use of BIM (Building Information Modeling) as software designs in the smaller offices due to more economic package this software development.
4. Mortgage loans and insurance providers delivered to sustainable building owners benefit packages.
5. Large houses are in fall: small and custom homes are the ever built, reflecting the users search for a more efficient and conscious housing.
6. There is a growing development of eco-community, which consist of real estate projects grouped housing with efficient design and technologies of production of energy.
7. Conservation and reuse of water will be transformed into something more important to housing, is why the development of new technologies in health products will be important in the final performance of housing.
8. Reducing the carbon footprint will be the new not only challenge for housing, but for the companies that produce materials and building products.
9. Net-Zero housing will gain ground.
10. Education for sustainable construction, both in architecture, construction, urban planning, finance, will affect the construction market in subsequent years.

New on Infrastructure

While in countries around the world are on the downside, infrastructure has to a cumulate and put on a pause, so there has to be some new technology that can help to not be outrun by the demand. Like new material and methods that can make infrastructure last more or have less maintenance. By infrastructure we mean any kind, bridges, roads, water system, communication, etc. like High-strength Steel that right now is expensive but it is starting to be more available. Or like the Self-Healing Concrete that a Professor at University of Michigan is working on. On one side materials and on the other new methods of working with the old materials can accomplish that the cities that we live in don’t break down. AIS at Monterrey is always trying to know new methods and learning new technologies, from the design process by new software to the construction by implementing new construction systems, which can make a plus to our clients without empting their pockets.
