We also have available other "Green Building" technologies that can improve your building process. These products and services can help you meet local and national "Green Building" requirements that can provide tax breaks and credits. Check with your local utility companies for what products may help you meet these requirements.
UBIX 10 is an enzyme based soil stabilizer that can replace concrete and asphalt paving. It is made from 100% biodegradable products. It can be used either in road building applications, or used to do driveways and patios. It can also be used to make a compressed building block for uses with fences and walls. More information on this is published on the UBIX 10 page.
We can design your rainwater harvesting system to harvest and contain the rainwater from the roof of your home. This can be used for irrigation, watering animals, or for emergency use. The following formula can help you determine how much water can be harvested:
Sq feet of roof area X 0.06
Multiply that by 0.08 for evaporation
Multiply that product again by the inches of annual rainfall. This can help you determine what is right for your system.
We also have suppliers that can provide solar capabilities for the homes we build. We can provide both solar panels for power generation, or solar thermal, for your hot water needs.
