Sustainability is key
Buildxcel is humbly working towards redefining the "neglected side" of the industry.
Reports indicate that forty percent of the waste in our landfills is construction waste. Traditional construction has taken a significant toll on the environment and Buildxcel is striving to be an outlier.
From project inception to everyday living, sustainability is embedded in Buildxcel's design and decision-making process. Our homes are aspire to be 'net-zero' when it comes to energy efficiency.
While design is just one part, the building powers itself using active solar panels and some buildings also use biofuels for heating. As buildings become greener, so do construction sites. Off-site fabrication, improved on-site maintenance, lean practices, landfill avoidance and green materials acquisition have begun to fundamentally, albeit slowly, transform the way buildings are constructed today.
Green by Design.
Digital Home supports air quality, energy & water conservation.
Learn moreDigital Homes
Our digital homes enable Home Energy Management System (HEMS). This system help home owners track their energy consumption and control the appliances via a management system. The Smart metering solution is integrated directly into the home grid and permits the system to switch on or off appliances. Our R&D team is working on integration of HEMS and Artificial Intelligence in order to detect behavior models and usage patterns, and hereby adjust the energy usage accordingly. This method will permit the smart technology or home to notify occupants on the best timings to use certain appliances, or indicate billing limits and other thresholds.
Conduct Life Cycle Analysis to inform our low-carbon material sourcing like self-healing concrete and the like.
Learn moreLife Cycle Analysis
A Life Cycle Assessment is the systematic analysis of the environmental impact of products during their entire life cycle. During a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), we evaluate the environmental impacts throughout the entire life cycle of a product (production, use and disposal or recovery). This also includes the upstream and downstream processes associated with production (e.g., the production of raw, auxiliary and operating materials) and with the product’s final End of Life (EoL), that is, the recycling, reuse or waste treatment.
Modular construction promotes minimal waste and efficiency.
Learn moreModular Construction
We adopt three basic techniques to promote minimal waste in building construction.
- Prefabricate Materials in Controlled Environment - Constructing as much of a structure in a controlled environment as possible, improves the quality of buildings and results in less trash.
- Construction Waste Management - Some materials are recyclable on site, in particular, concrete that can be crushed and used for foundations or as aggregate beneath parking lots.
- Lean Manufacturing to Reduce Energy - We encourage Lean Thinking to construction approaches. Modification of tools for multipurpose use, just-in-time use of materials are all lean manufacturing practices.
Accountability.
Responsible Sourcing Matrix to prioritize CSR-aligned suppliers with Environmental Product Declarations (EPD)
Learn moreResponsible Sourcing Matrix
We encourage material from recycled products and from local sources. The materials can be anything, from renewable products such as bamboo for floors, to wood etc. Suppliers with environmental certifications are prefered over the ones without them.
Frontlines of industry research & collaboration
Learn moreResearch & Collaboration
Research and Collaboration is the backbone of all positive disruption. Our labs experiment with application of new technologies like AI and ML in the various facets of construction - design, survey, execution and maintenance. Data collection through sensors provide the basis for business strategies. Buildxcel partners with several technology companies to develop softwares and to enhance operational efficiency. We adopt some of the best global practices in providing a sustainable and eco-friendly product.
What's Next?
This is only the beginning – we are striving to transform the industry from cradle-to-grave to a closed-loop cycle. This means zero waste, carbon negative, and beyond: environmental regeneration by 2040. Join us on our journey to transform how homes interact with our planet.
