Climate Changin
Building Super Energy Efficient Cities and Structures
Todays residential housing stock is poorly suited for severe weather episodes. Each time a structure constructed from a wood product is involved in a wind or rain storm, severe Mold and Rot attacks the structure affecting the Building Envelope. Long delays for repairs and compensation for replacement, seldom meet insurance realities.
Polystyrene Foam and Concrete Composites, offer respite from these problems with the added benefits of longer structure life and super insulation, helping reducing the need for heating and cooling costs. Using Air as insulation and thin-shell concrete as cladding, this solution combination is a “Climate Change” resource winner.
Green Building & Energy Efficiency
Adding these features as part of your renovation is not enough, you need a solid base for the equipment to work effectively. Many European builders now plan for disasters by using polystyrene for any situation that needs long term solutions for moisture problems. Floating home Foundations, bathrooms and complete building envelopes constructed from polystyrene foam are now becoming common practice.

Houses made from AIR
One startup even has a solution for the quick replacement of homes damaged or destroyed in disasters. It’s called SHELLHOUSE . Manufactured from Polystyrene Foam, large numbers of SHELLHOUSES can be produce 70 to 100 shells, within a 24-hour operating period and transported short distances directly from the expanding machine to the construction site.
Expanded Polystyrene Building Envelopes are the solution to carry civilization through the rough climate years ahead.
