subject: Modular Houses Are Environmental Friendly Than Typical Houses [print this page] What humans have not done to destroy and harm the natural atmosphere and eco-system of this world and what a man is not doing to save the earth again? It's a positive sign that many people are heading towards much eco-friendly alternatives in all areas of their lives. Even the Industries have realized the importance of earth saving alternatives and the productions are now based on reusable resources. Yet still the most important role in this cause can be played by the domestic modifications that should be employed. Mostly when we think about Environment friendly homes we think of buildings with solar panels and wind turbines, but that really is not enough to make for the need of our injured planet. Modular homes manufacturers take into account this idea of constructing an eco-friendly house, from a scratch. These modular home manufacturers make use of eco friendly techniques and recyclable resources in almost every step of the construction.
These mobile homes can be green in many ways. First of all, the building process, as discussed above, the resource used in manufacturing these modulars is greener and recyclable. Conventionally, there is a lot of scrap and leftovers in the building process. Hardly any of this scrap and debris can be reused. But in the in-site building process, the materials remaining from one unit can be used in another one, for example, lumber, wirings, pipes, insulating material and much more. Most of the factories utilize the leftover stuff to be recycled as some other stuff, like the unusable pieces or debris of wood are recycled to make a chipboard or paper. On the whole, minimum waste means fewer burden on earth.
Other than all the resources that are saved during the factory manufacturing process, the architecture of these buildings focus on long-term savings of resources. The design layout of the modular structures is carefully designed to let in a good passage of air and light and eliminate any non-living space. Not only that these houses offer air and light passage, they are also perfectly insulated to lower the requirement of air conditioning or heating. For the serious eco friendly enthusiasts, the manufacturers offer solar panels and other green energy devices to minimize the dependency on non reusable resources of energy.
One of the other reason that the resources are significantly saved during the modular house construction is due to the climate controlled setting in which they are manufactured. Other than all the materials, space and energy saved in the process, the labor is also greatly reduced. The reason is not only the assembly line production process but also a proper utilization of time. Since, the construction process needs lesser time, hence the labor is also on-time utilized.
These are only some of the main points that make the prefabricated homes an eco friendly housing option long before you actually set foot in it and long after that too. Overall, it will save a lot more energy and resources than a tracitional house being turned into a greener one.
