10 Superior Types of Bamboo as a Construction Material with MCDM …

10.1.4 Sustainability of Bamboo
Sustainability of in construction area (energy, water, raw materials), allocate waste
(construction and demolition) and allocate potentially harmful emissions into the
atmosphere. Architects, designers and builders have to face the difficult task of
meeting the needs for new buildings and structures that are affordable, safe, healthy
and productive while minimizing any negative consequences for society, the environment and the economy. Under the best circumstances, building structures should
lead to positive results in all three areas.
Sustainable architecture is the construction of buildings that create the best living
conditions for a person. Improving and minimizing the use of harmful resources in
architecture and design. This effect on building materials and construction methods,
as well as the use of sources such as heating, cooling, power, water and so on.
There is a conditional classification of eco materials into three types: natural
origin, natural and artificial and materials of chemical (artificial) origin.
Natural origin of bamboo. Since bamboo grows almost everywhere except of
extremely cold place, and by history bamboo originated in china, its where bamboo
first was recorded. Varieties of bamboo, as we see today, happened from ancient
herbs about 30–40 million years ago, right up to the extinction of dinosaurs. The use
of bamboo began as a food base for herbivorous animals, after that people began to
use bamboo in different variations.
Given the global environmental situation on the planet, scientists are constantly
looking for new ways to conserve greenery on the continents, to introduce new, and
safer and more progressive production technologies. Innovations in the production
of bamboo fiber helped to make a big step forward (Krawczuk 2013).
Sustainability of bamboo are in grown without pesticides or chemical fertilizers,
it requires no irrigation. Bamboo rarely need to replant. It grows rapidly and can be
harvested in 3–5 years, bamboo produces 35% more oxygen that an equivalent stand
of trees, and sequesters carbon dioxide and is carbon neutral, it is a critical element in
the balance of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Bamboo is an excellent
soil erosion inhibitor, it grows in a wide range of environments. Its production into
fibers has lower environmental impact than other forms of fiber, especially synthetic
ones. Since bamboo is a 100% natural product, energy is not expended on production,
making bamboo already ready for use. For local residents of countries where bamboo
is grown, this is work, in various industries providing jobs and eliminating poverty in
developing countries. Cultivation of bamboo gives people building material, textiles,
food and work. Economically, ecologically and socially the life of people will be in
stability (Krawczuk 2013).
Bamboo fibers favorably differ from many others, because in addition to all the
advantages of natural fibers have unique properties as hypoallergenic, antibacterial
properties that persist even after prolonged use, high wear resistance, resistance
to burnout, hygroscopic. The ability to retain ultraviolet rays and natural antistatic
effect.
