Concrete slab
b) PRIMARY STRUCTURE (HORIZONTAL AND VERTICAL)
-Steel T section beams-Steel Column
c) SECONDARY STRUCTURE (HORIZONTAL AND VERTICAL)
-Purlin-rafter-joist-zinc cladding-aluminiun mullions

6_ SUSTAINABILITY AND ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
The primary structures of the ERC, consist mostly of steel. Steel has high embodiedenergy in the process of making such as being required to be melted and cut.Furthermore, this material requires transportation which in turn creates carbonemissions. Compared to plywood, more carbon emissions are created, wood can alsobe recycled and reused easily whereas steel can not. This is due to themeasurements of steel structure being very precise and could not usually be used foranother building.
7_ECONOMICAL IMPLICATIONS OF DECISIONS
The benefits of usings steel include saving money through minimal waste, durabilitywhich means less maintenance required, good for spanning as less materials areused and lastly the time that can be saved during the construction process.
