Compared with traditional concrete buildings, steel structure residential building is more energy-efficient, it does not affect the ecological environment and constructed quickly. Steel structure building has become a new trend leading to the development of the construction industry. Building energy efficiency, especially in the context of domestic excess steel production capacity, the development of residential steel building is conducive to solving the excess production capacity and a win-win situation in traditional industries and promoting the event of a green environment.

Steel structure building is a necessary form of prefabricated construction. Compared with traditional concrete structure, steel structure building has the following benefits in terms of energy-saving and environmental protection.
The recovery rate of the steel structure is as high as 90 %. Reusable construction materials and reduce construction waste and environmental pollution. Except for the primary elements, 100% of the articles are steel, because the weight is light, and the entire building weight is also reduced by 50%. Even if it needs to dismantle in the future, construction waste will decrease by 50%. The assembly site can also reduce noise, dust, and sewage by 80%.

Advantage :
Steel structure residential buildings also have the benefits of excellent seismic performance, high production quality, short construction time, and suitable for long-distance transportation.

The data show that the output of steel for steel structure construction in China only accounts for 5% -6% of the total steel output, far lower than the level of 20% -30% in developed countries. Steel structure with environmental protection and sustainable development is an important form and development direction.

Steel structure residential buildings will also drive the development of upstream and downstream industrial chains such as metallurgy, building materials, and decoration.
As a new type of building product, the development of steel structure depends on the improvement of supporting technology and products.
