Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Certification
Permanent modular buildings are inherently LEED certifiable due the building process.
 |
Produces Less Waste A building process that occurs in a controlled environment leads to less waste. Construction material purchases and usage can be optimized in a repetitive, quality controlled process while minimizing on-site waste and offering a higher quality product. |
 |
Offers Increased Safety Less building time and reduced on-site labor resources means a safer site. Modular construction is a safer alternative. Conventional construction workers at the construction site regularly work in less than ideal conditions, with temperature extremes, rain, wind, or any combination of natural conditions. In a factory controlled setting, each worker is typically assigned to a work station supplied with all the appropriate equipment needed to provide the safest work environment possible. |
 |
Generates Less Noise and Vehicular Movement at the Construction Site The modular structure is constructed off-site, reducing the time and impact on the surrounding site environment, as well as reducing the number of vehicles and heavy equipment needed at the site. |
 |
Eliminates the Potential of Mold and Contaminants Because the modular structure is substantially completed in a factory-controlled setting using dry materials, the potential for high levels of mold and contaminants is eliminated. |
