Cold-formed C and Z Cee and Zed sections are recommended for purlins in metal buildings as they are light stiff and strong yet allow for easy transportation fabrication and installation. Z purlins are not like the hot rolled I-sections or U-channels in that they are thin-walled resulting in material savings of up to 20 for common loading and spans.
