Our Wall System creates highly Energy
Efficient Green Buildings.
Efficient Green Buildings.
Our unique wall system is a "sandwich panel", which combines an insulated foam
board (expanded polystyrene) with a protective and structural layer of reinforced
concrete on either side. We spray a wet mix of concrete directly on the face of the
insulation panels. It is highly durable, sound proof, fire resistant, and reduces the
costs for heating and air conditioning dramatically.
Our system provides an R-value (a measure of thermal resistance) of 40 versus the
average of only 13 in other buildings. According to the Department of Energy, heating
and cooling a typical home accounts for the vast majority of energy consumption - up
to 60% of a home's energy needs. Therefore, our wall system can reduce a
home's overall energy bills by 50%.
In addition, tax incentives, utilities incentives, and green financing options can
amount to thousands of dollars for homeowners and hundreds of thousands of
dollars to businesses.
Furthermore, our wall system is not substantially more expensive than conventional
building techniques and is flexible enough to replicate the exterior look of most
conventional techniques such as brick.
Our wall system working in conjunction with solar and wind power generators puts
the dream of a zero-net-energy building within reach of homeowners and small
businesses.

Thermal Imaging Study
Our Wall System has a fraction of the heat loss found in other construction methods.
The below images show a normal wall pictured with a thermal image of the same wall below it. They were taken with an outside One of the most
dramatic ways to demonstrate our wall system's superior insulating properties versus conventional methods is through thermal temperature of
between 18 and 24 degrees F. Indoor temperatures were between 60 and 70 degrees F. As you can see, the least heat escapes from our wall
system, which has by far the lowest wall temperature when compared to masonry, precast concrete, and steel construction walls. Also notice that
our wall system has dramatically less heat loss at the foundation and roof lines. We have found similar results in warm temperatures as well.

Another striking example of the energy efficiency of our buildings is the Roman, Inc. Distribution Center. This 475,000 square foot structure has no
main heating or cooling system whatsoever. Yet, in the cold Chicago winter, this highly energy efficient unheated green building maintains a
comfortable 68-72 degree F interior temperature. Notice how little the fluctuations in exterior temperature affects the interior building temperature.
