Construction using any building material has some impact on the environment. Effects can occur in production, transport, distribution, the building process, service, or disposal.
Treading Lightly
Not only is the Force 10 Engineered Building System providing secure and safe housing proven to withstand nature's most severe onslaughts.
We believe the system provides the following environmentally friendly advantages:
- Transporting all components to site at once limits the amount of logistical incidentals, including fuel expenses (which reduce global resources) and emissions from other transportation for deliveries.
- Reduced amount of onsite deliveries can assist in limiting the amount to degradation to the site by vehicles if ground is not sealed.
- All components sent to site are accounted to be used in the construction, therefore a significant reduction of onsite wastage occurs. This means no unnecessary construction items dumped onsite to be carried into the enviornment.
- Steel components replace traditional timber frames, reducing the need to fell trees and destroy habitat. These components ensure maximum longevity of the structure and also decrease the need to replace items due to rotting, pests or damage.
- The maximum insulation properties of the Force10 wall panels minimize not only the cost of heating or cooling of the structure but also reduce the amount of energy resources needed to provide heating or cooling.
