Green buildings are designed to meet certain objectives such as protecting occupant health; improving employee productivity; using energy, water, and other resources more efficiently; and reducing the overall impact to the environment.</font></p> <p style="margin-left: 35px; margin-right: 35px" align="justify"><font size="2.9" face="Tahoma">A green building may look same as conventional buildings up front, but saves through lower operating costs over the life of the building. The green building approach applies a project life cycle cost analysis for determining the appropriate up-front expenditure. This analytical method calculates costs over the useful life of the asset.</font></p> <p style="margin-left: 35px; margin-right: 35px" align="justify"><font size="2.9" face="Tahoma">These and other cost savings can only be fully realized when they are incorporated at the project's conceptual design phase with the assistance of an integrated team of professionals. The integrated systems approach ensures that the building is designed as one system rather than a collection of stand-alone systems.</font></p> <p style="margin-left: 35px; margin-right: 35px" align="justify"><font size="2.9" face="Tahoma">Some benefits, such as improving occupant health, comfort, productivity, reducing pollution and landfill waste are not easily quantified. Consequently, they are not adequately considered in cost analysis. For this reason, consider setting aside a small portion of the building budget to cover differential costs associated with less tangible green building benefits or to cover the cost of researching and analyzing green building options.</font></p> <p style="margin-left: 35px; margin-right: 35px" align="justify"><font size="2.9" face="Tahoma">Even with a tight budget, many green building measures can be incorporated with minimal or zero increased up-front costs and they can yield enormous savings.</font></p> <p align="center"><font size="3.3" face="Tahoma" color="00CC00"><strong>SOME OF THE GREEN PRODUCTS WE USE IN OUR EXPORT HOUSING PROGRAMS</strong></font></p> <p><div style="line-height:0.02">&nbsp;</div></p> <p align="center"><gg><font size="3.3" face="Tahoma"><strong>GALVANIZED LIGHT GAUGE STEEL FRAMING</strong></font></gg></p> <p align="center"><img src="green_design_housing/galvanized_LGS_framing.jpg"></p> <p><div style="line-height:0.02">&nbsp;</div></p> <p align="center"><gg><font size="3.3" face="Tahoma"><strong>STRUCTURAL FIBER CEMENT PREFAB WALLS, CEILINGS AND ROOFS</strong></font></gg></p> <p align="center"><img src="green_design_housing/structural_fiber_cement_panels.jpg"></p> <p><div style="line-height:0.02">&nbsp;</div></p> <p align="center"><gg><font size="3.3" face="Tahoma"><strong>CELLULOSE INSULATION</strong></font></gg></p> <p align="center"><img src="green_design_housing/cellulose_ins.jpg"></p> <p><div style="line-height:0.02">&nbsp;</div></p> <p align="center"><gg><font size="3.3" face="Tahoma"><strong>STANDING SEAM METAL ROOFING</strong></font></gg></p> <p align="center"><img src="green_design_housing/standing_seam_metal_roofing.jpg"></p> <p><div style="line-height:0.02">&nbsp;</div></p> <p align="center"><gg><font size="3.3" face="Tahoma"><strong>STONE COATED METAL ROOFING</strong></font></gg></p> <p align="center"><img src="green_design_housing/stone_coated_metal_roofing.jpg"></p> <p><div style="line-height:0.02">&nbsp;</div></p> <p align="center"><gg><font size="3.3" face="Tahoma"><strong>STEEL LAMINATED DOORS AND VINYL WINDOWS</strong></font></gg></p> <p align="center"><img src="green_design_housing/steel_laminated_doors_and_vinyl_windows.jpg"></p> <p><div style="line-height:0.02">&nbsp;</div></p> <p align="center"><gg><font size="3.3" face="Tahoma"><strong>LIGHT TUBES FOR ENERGY SAVING</strong></font></gg></p> <p align="center"><img src="green_design_housing/light_tubes.jpg"></p> <p><div style="line-height:0.02">&nbsp;</div></p> <p align="center"><gg><font size="3.3" face="Tahoma"><strong>WATER COLLECTION TANKS</strong></font></gg></p> <p align="center"><img src="green_design_housing/water_collection_tanks.jpg"></p> <p><div style="line-height:0.02">&nbsp;</div></p> <p align="center"><gg><font size="3.3" face="Tahoma"><strong>WATER CONSERVING FIXTURES</strong></font></gg></p> <p align="center"><img src="green_design_housing/water_conserving_fixtures.jpg"></p> <p><div style="line-height:0.02">&nbsp;</div></p> <p align="center"><font color="gray"><strong><font size="2.8pt" face="Tahoma">SteelFrameHousing US, Inc.® PHONE: 1 (770) 723-7776 FAX: 1 (770) 723-3470</font></strong></font></p> </div></body></html>
