“Environmental sustainability usage” refers to the potential longevity of vital human ecological support systems. Ecological support systems include the planet’s climatic system, systems of agriculture, industry, forestry, and fisheries, and human communities in general and the various systems on which they depend in balance with the impacts of unsustainable or sustainable design.
Studies have shown that modular methods of construction offer considerable sustainability value and benefits over conventional construction.
Less waste to clog land fills
- A building process that occurs in a controlled environment leads to less waste.
- Materials not used are recycled.
Sustainability
- Timber is considered a sustainable resource.
Softer environmental impact
- Less vehicular movement at the construction site means less site impact, carbon emissions and noise pollution.
LEED Certification – Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design
- Inherent in the process, permanent modular construction is LEED certifiable.
