Young generations, such as Millennials and Generation Z, are prioritizing values such as sustainability, energy efficiency, and well-being when choosing homes and workspaces. These interests are transforming the construction sector, where methods like Dry Construction are emerging as an innovative solution that directly meets their demands.
### What are the new generations looking for?
In a changing world, young people seek alternatives that combine sustainability, accessibility, and comfort. Some of their priorities when thinking about housing include:
– **Sustainable buildings**: Minimizing the carbon footprint.
– **Energy efficiency**: Reducing energy consumption and costs.
– **Affordability**: Solutions that fit their budgets.
– **Technological innovation**: Smart buildings with remote control.
– **Well-being and health**: Spaces that promote physical and mental comfort.
According to Francisco Pedrazzi, president of the Dry Construction Institute (INCOSE): “Today, it is not possible to conceive an architectural project without considering its environmental impact. This includes everything from the construction process to the final disposal of materials.”
### Benefits of Dry Construction method
Dry Construction, a technique that uses plasterboards and steel profiles, has gained popularity among young people due to its practical and sustainable approach. Among its main advantages are:
– **Energy efficiency**: Advanced insulation that reduces heating and cooling costs.
– **Reduced water usage**: Virtually eliminates water consumption, also reducing the carbon footprint by up to 47%.
– **Less waste generation**: Compared to traditional construction, it produces less waste, benefiting the environment.
– **Quick execution**: Does not use wet materials or require drying times, which speeds up construction.
– **Flexibility and versatility**: Allows for efficient internal divisions with lower thicknesses, increasing the interior usable area by up to 4%.
– **Resistance and durability**: Increased protection against moisture, fire, and other external agents.
– **Ease of maintenance**: Lightweight and easy-to-repair materials.
### Guaranteed comfort and well-being
Dry Construction also meets the needs of thermal and acoustic comfort, key factors for the new generations:
– **Thermal comfort**: Dry-built homes are cooler in summer and warmer in winter, achieving uniform temperatures and reducing energy consumption.
– **Acoustic comfort**: Insulation that eliminates external noises and improves sound quality in interior spaces.
### Construction sector response
Far from implying lower quality, this technique adheres to strict standards that ensure fire resistance, thermal and acoustic insulation, and durability. Pedrazzi emphasizes: “Dry construction is not only efficient but also meets the highest quality standards.”
Faced with current climate challenges and the interests of young generations, Dry Construction stands out as an innovative solution that combines sustainability, speed, and comfort, shaping the future of the sector.
