Vietnam should accelerate the use of green materials

Today, in Vietnam, in addition to traditional building materials, new building materials are being developed such as unbaked building materials, ecological paints, gypsum boards, insulation materials. To implement the policy of the Government in the development of building materials.

A plant concrete project is under construction.

Green project are highly efficient in the use of energy and materials, minimizing negative impacts on the environment and human health through using energy, water and other resources effectively, improve labor productivity, reduce waste, environment pollution and destruction.

Many criteria and standards of green building are interrelated, can not be separated completely independently; from the planning, architecture, materials, equipment, technology, energy, fuel, waste ... Among many criteria of green building, green materials - environmentally friendly materials - are easiest to access and apply. Green materials are the most interested in the field of structural design, and applied research..

According to the Vietnam Association of Building Materials, by 2030, the construction materials industry must have advanced production technology and automation at higher levels; low energy and material consumption; high quality products, meet international standards and have the ability to compete in the world market, especially to meet the requirements of environmental protection.

According to Mr. Do Thanh Tung - Director of the National Institute of Architecture: "The benefits that green buildings bring is the ability to increase 3-5% labor productivity; reduce disease risk and improve health; reduce consumption of water and energy by 30 to 50%, thereby reducing greenhouse gas emissions; 10 - 15% reduction of operation and maintenance costs; improve the life of the project ... Green buildings in operation also contribute significantly to the process of urban development such as mitigating social impact, creating a sustainable living environment, changing and improving the ant infrastructure promote the image of the city, attracting foreign investment, developing tourism economy ".

According to Mr. Tong Van Nga, Chairman of the Vietnam Association for Building Materials, "We will focus on solutions to produce green building materials for immediate and long-term construction. It is hoped that Vietnam's building materials industry, with the active contribution of leading experts in management, technology and international cooperation, will make great strides in the selection of manufacturing technology and corporate to create innovative equipment, innovate in business management and commerce so that more and more green building materials are available. "

There are still many construction works using non-environmentally friendly materials, which is one of the causes of climate change, habitat degradation. Green project has become an indispensable trend in the world. Green materials is not easy to use and apply because there are many obstacles, barriers from many sides need to be removed.

According to the Vietnam Construction Materials Association, Vietnam will accelerate the development of green building materials by 2030. However, incentive mechanisms and policies have not been strongly developed, due to the competitiveness of the market mechanism. Therefore, there are not many enterprises involved in production, lead to the results of putting products into production is limited. Therefore, it is necessary to accelerate and further develop green materials..

At present, Bamboo House - a new project of Minh An Corporation - has applied bamboo materials into the construction to reduce toxic waste and create fresh atmosphere for the project. The "bamboo house" Bamboo House has received high appreciation from the professionals due to its modern, bold and unique architectural beauty as well as the ability to minimize the environmental pollution.
