As with traditional buildings, modular home<\/strong> easily incorporates sustainability. Specify the use of recycled materials, LED lighting, high-efficiency mechanical systems, sustainably harvested\u00a0wood<\/span>, and low-flow fixtures just as you normally would.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re seeing a shift toward high-performance, sustainable design,\u201d says Maggie Hartley, director of marketing for American Modular Systems. \u201cEnergy efficiency over the lifespan of the building is a definite priority. There\u2019s a reliance on mechanical systems, tight envelopes, ventilation, and smart lighting to achieve energy savings.\u201d<\/p>\n

Other Benefits of Living in a Modular Home<\/h3>\n

While the process itself affords more opportunities for sustainability, other benefits of modular homes include:<\/p>\n

Improved IAQ<\/strong><\/p>\n

Moisture reduction, use of dry materials, and time for off-gassing result in fewer VOCs.<\/p>\n

Compatible with LEED<\/strong><\/p>\n

Modular buildings can compete in the same categories as traditionally built ones. They can even yield an advantage in credits for Sustainable Sites, Materials and Resources, and Energy and Atmosphere.<\/p>\n

Reusable<\/strong><\/p>\n

Whether you need a new layout or your building has been damaged, modular buildings can be disassembled so individual modules can be replaced or refurbished.<\/p>\n

Tighter Envelope<\/strong><\/p>\n

Typically results in a tighter envelope, which improves\u00a0energy<\/span>efficiency. This is due to the durability required for transportation and the lack of weather complications such as moisture and water intrusion.<\/p>\n

Renewable Energy<\/strong><\/p>\n

Modular construction can accommodate alternative energy sources, from solar panels to a geoexchange system. Buildings can also be designed so renewable energy can be added down the road.<\/p>\n
