Steel, which is more than 90% recyclable, is the preferred material for all pre-engineered steel buildings (PEB). These buildings are cost-effective, energy efficient and provide better quality environment as they are cooler in hot conditions due to the favorable roofing material and natural ventilation. They also help in energy saving due to more amount of natural sunlight through skylights used on the roof of the building thereby reducing the overall power consumption. Effective usage of insulation material, louvers and other materials also help in making PEB one of the most preferred green & sustainable buildings. Kirby Building Systems India Ltd (Kirby India) is the first company to supply buildings with materials which are easily recyclable and sustainable. The company does not use materials that are harmful to the environment and is always looking forward to be a part of green and eco-friendly products.
