Process Innovation for Efficiency and Environmental Sustainability in the Building Industry
內容大綱
This case describes the 2016 market entry in California of an innovative construction system for housing: BONE Structure, developed by the Canadian company of the same name. The choice of this structural system and construction method for a single family home in Palo Alto, California, provides the backdrop for a discussion about process innovations in manufactured housing and environmental sustainability. This case highlights BONE Structure's successful revamping of the supply chain for housing, a design for energy efficiency that has the potential to be even more so (if steel manufacturing could be powered by renewables), and finally, a building system that enables construction and renovation in difficult locations.
