Its combination of energy efficiency, structural solidity, resource conservation and low construction costs heralds a radical change in the way homes and communities around the world can be designed and built. With the ability to accommodate the ultimate in creative expression due to it’s design flexibility. The construction method may include such perks as tax breaks, generation of greenhouse gas credits, reduced insurance premiums and lower maintenance costs.
The ultimate in extreme weather housing, the insulation provided by the composite materials is effective enough that the house can be heated or cooled using less than half the energy it takes for a home built with conventional materials. The foam / concrete house also can is more resistant to fire, mold and pests than typical homes, and better able to withstand such hazards as earthquakes, extreme weather, climate conditions and flooding with it’s resistance to water. It natural resistance to pests both insects and rodents reduce the costs associated with pest control, exposure to toxic pesticides and the diseases transmitted by them. It’s available non-porous interior designed without cracks and crevices makes sterilization and cleaning a breeze. The use of a natural non-toxic residue free biocide, anolyte solution, the same used by the human body to destroy pathogens, created using salt water and sunlight reduces the risk of contagions producing disease.
Compared to other environmentally sensitive, energy-efficient construction methods this technique used for the foam house is better by every measure. The method may have its greatest potential for a significant impact in Third World nations. Foam / Concrete composites buildings could be the answer to housing growing populations more affordably, as well as more securely, particularly in regions threatened by extreme climate chaos or prone to earthquakes. Optimized for countries that do not have wood, steel, and other materials for infrastructure, or which can be very expensive in those that do have the resources. It can take months or up to three years to build just one house, with this approach a house can go up in a matter of days.
Test results also scored well in the Scottsdale Green Building program. The components rated very high 80-points, indicating sustainability. In terms of energy conservation, materials reduction, and other environmental elements, it proved exceptionally earth friendly. The buildings conserve raw materials by eliminating the need for conventional structural components such as wood or metal framing, straps, nails, wallboard, stucco, and insulation. The structures are energy-efficient, with an energy rating of R40 in the walls and R100 for roofs. Typically found in homes, fiberglass blankets of insulation have a nominal R-value rating of less than half of polystyrene foam. Higher R-values translate into less energy consumption for heating and cooling. It replaces every structural component, including walls, floors, and roof, providing a near air-tight-building envelope.
The new construction method and material is being targeted for use in 45 acre spiritual retreat, conference / workshop center, pod housing and sustainable living prototype in New Mexico. One using surface soil remineralization in place of petroleum based fertilizers and pesticides and Amaranth as a food staple.
