Eco Containers
Our Proposal
Sustainable Homes
To define health and well-being in the built environment, the World Green Building Council (World GBC) developed the Health and Well-being Framework, which promotes the construction of healthy and equitable buildings in harmony with nature, including the social impact throughout the value chain. Each principle of the Health and Well-being Framework has specific sub-principles from which strategies can be derived to implement them throughout the life cycle of buildings.
The objective of the initiative
Is to expand the scope and meaning of health and well-being for the construction industry and mobilize effective solutions to address the health and well-being challenges resulting from the actions of the building and construction sector. That's why at MYB, we have taken the lead in developing our Eco-container proposal for housing, aiming to meet the six principles of the World GBC's Health and Well-being Framework that define key aspects of human health, well-being, and quality of life related to the built environment throughout its life cycle.
Our six principles
We have designed the concept of Container Homes
Protect Health
Which involves maintaining air and water quality within appropriate thresholds to minimize health risks and support and enhance mental and social well-being through consideration in building design.
Create Social Value
By committing to protecting the health and well-being of people working during construction and providing long-term value to the communities around us, improving local quality of life.
Harmony with Nature
To ensure occupants' access to nature within the container and outdoors, promoting biodiversity within the site footprint and its surroundings.
Facilitating Healthy Behaviors
Which involves promoting activity indoors and outdoors from the design stage, thus fostering the physical health of occupants and our employees, encouraging beneficial lifestyle practices for the owners of our solutions and employees, including nutrition, hydration, and social connectivity.
Prioritizing Comfort
To ensure consistent thermal and acoustic comfort to enhance well-being, considering the different needs of future container occupants, with exemplary lighting to improve well-being, prioritizing natural and energy-efficient solutions, and ensuring inclusive design of the built environment.
Creating Climate Action
Which entails committing to achieving net-zero carbon emissions throughout the life cycle of container housing construction to contribute to climate change mitigation, striving for efficient water usage, and ensuring a circular, safe, and healthy use of construction materials throughout the life cycle of container homes.
