Application of Industrialized Building Systems (IBS) in Rurall Settlements Towards Sustainability

Industrialized construction systems due to enjoying benefits compared to conventional methods, are being used, but old systems not only could not meet various needs but also are not of appropriate interaction with environment. According to these problems, various systems are proposed as semi- industrialized systems with regard to the aim of harmonizing with environment. These systems are of benefits for increasing quality and decreasing wastes, so benefiting from some aspects of sustainability. The main purpose of this paper is to discuss using industrialized systems to achieve sustainable housing in Iran by a case study,so some conventional problems in housing are discussed in selected region and some industrialized systems are being proposed. The proposed system includes small structural insulated blocks which found by comprehensive study in terms of various factors. Based on this study, proposed industrialized systems are of some attributes of environmental sustainability, so various aims of sustainability can be achieved.
