Potential of Bamboo as Green Building Element
Abstract
31
Bamboo is widely utilised not only for food production, handicraft, textile but also as building materials. In the construction sector, they are not as well-known as sustainable building materials, but they may be applied to improve the lives of others with its eco-friendly and sustainable characteristics. The aim of this study is to identify the components of buildings that use bamboo as a green material. The quantitative method was adopted for this study by using a questionnaire survey. The data of 100 respondents from the architects was analysed by using Social Science Statistical Package (SPSS). The findings of the study indicate that among various components in buildings, bamboo materials are highly used as flooring and walls. Besides, bamboo materials are also used for the construction of roofs and structural elements such as beams, columns, and foundations. The results should enable project designers to consider bamboo as a green and sustainable material used in the elements of future building design.
