sustainability

environmental technologies

advanced technology in the manufacture of the components combined with a design strategy, demonstrates a quality of environmental performance of the structure over a large range of climate zones, diurnal variations, and seasonal heating and cooling.

design strategies include:

  • internal cross ventilation, air movement under the raised floor and between the ceiling and an open fly roof.

  • a substantial roof overhang to suit the siting and the orientation of the structure gives maximum shading during the hot season.

  • convection driven heating and/or cooling within the wall panels combined with advanced insulation blankets and bulk insulation batts

almost all the materials used in the structures are reclaimable and can be recycled at any time in the future.

sustainable strategies also include options for solar power, water collection and recycling, and a waterless self-composting w.c.

dust and insect proof

all joints and openings are sealed against the entry of dust and insects.

wind conditions

the structures are designed for specific wind conditions, which may include minor adjustments to the fixings for cyclonic conditions.

footings are designed with an uplift capacity in excess of 15KN with a direct structural connection to the roof.

maintenance

the erected structures are extremely durable and virtually maintenance free.

disassembly

the structure is designed to be disassembled and

re-located.

active environmental systems include optional solar power, with on site storage, rain water recycling, and composting waste systems

hot climate wall panel heat escapes though a ventiliated wall cavity

cold climate wall panel heat is stored in an unventiliated wall cavity
