Sustainability & Environmental Analysis Steel: ·High embodied energy as steel needs to be melted and cut ·Carbon emissions-transportation required as it cannot be cut on site

of steel Recyclability-Measurements

beams are cut very precisely for each particular building, making recyclability difficult
