Container and its use in Sustainable Housing

Abstract

The unbridled growth of industrial fields and civil construction has caused serious environmental impacts, which can be mitigated and repaired with the aim of raising awareness among the population about environmental conservation. Civil construction has a direct influence on natural resources and, therefore, is a subject to be studied to improve the quality of life. Sustainable Construction has been the focus of many studies due to global concern regarding the environment. Cargo containers are a versatile material for use in a variety of applications. Due to their low cost, durability, quick construction, portability and ease of assembly, they are widely used to build post-disaster houses, military operations and conventional homes. These structures are seen as a sustainable architectural alternative, as they are recyclable, but the vast majority end up being discarded in port warehouses even though their useful life has not been exhausted, as sending them back to their place of origin is more expensive than purchasing new ones. a new. The general objective was to describe the efficiency of container housing, with a view to sustainable development. This study was carried out through an integrative review. The results indicate that this construction is fast, clean and sustainable, reducing the amount of construction waste and having less impact on the environment.
