Green Construction

EBS is GREEN!

The EBS system is an energy efficient, eco-friendly green product.  We continuously strive to manufacture to the demands of the industry, which has turned towards green building. Green construction is building in a way that reduces the overall impact of construction on health and the natural environment.

To classify a structure as green the US Green Building Council has developed a system named LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) which provides standards for rating a structure based on a point scale. 

LEED is quickly becoming the most responsible standard for commercial and residential construction in the United States. This standard promotes high performance green building design that recognizes the life cycle costing of construction both economically and environmentally. As the green building sector grows exponentially, more and more building professionals, owners, and operators are seeing the benefits of green building and LEED certification. Green design not only makes a positive impact on public health and the environment, it also reduces operating costs, enhances building and organizational marketability, potentially increases occupant productivity, and helps create a sustainable community.

 There are many ways to build green, they are: 

• Site Planning

• Water Management

• Energy and Atmosphere

• Material Usage

• Indoor Environmental Quality

• Innovation and Design Process

Using our system will contribute up to 22 LEED points!

Building With Our System Saves You Money!

Lower Insurance Premiums

Our thinnest wall has been tested to withstand hurricane winds in excess of 250 MPH and debris impact in excess of 100 MPH.  It was never tested to fail!  Also our minimum fire rating is 2.5 hours and our maximum is 8 hours!  This will drop you premiums noticeably.

Tax Credits up to 30%

When you use our wall system, you are using Energy Star rated insulation.  There is a 30% tax credit of a value up to $1,500 available in the USA.

Lower Energy Bills

EBS will allow you to achieve a 35% to 42% increase in energy efficiency in the overall building performance compared to the baseline building performance per ASHRAE / IESNA Standard 90.1-2007, which will lower your energy bill considerably.

Market Value

An energy efficient, hurricane resistant, fire resistant, and mold resistant structure will raise the value of your property.  It increases the marketability and appeal, and we guarantee that you will have an “edge” over other structures built with standard components.
