Sustainable Solutions
Save on your buildings costs and reduce the carbon footprint of your building projects
A pre-owned modular building not only saves on financial costs but also saves on environmental costs.
The Government accepts that modular and portable buildings have unique energy efficient properties. The energy required to manufacture a modular building is locked within the fabric of the structure. Therefore the energy contained within a pre-owned modular building can be transported and relocated to another site.
A pre-owned modular building produces less than 10% of the energy that is required to supply an equivalent newly manufactured modular building.
Choosing a quality pre-owned modular building not only saves you money, it significantly benefits the environment.
Save Money in This recession
Used Modular Buildings and Portable Offices not only save over 70% on costs but can reduce the energy used by upto 90% during installation. Pre-owned buildings are perhaps the most sustainable solution in the current economic climiate, providing an altenative to a new build with the same quality and solution.
All our buildings meet the Energy Efficient Standards as specified in Energy Performance Standards for Modular and Portable Buildings Document, recognised by the Government.
The MPBA Arup Report document provides further explanation of those considerations and a step-by-step flowchart on how to demonstrate compliance when approving a modular and / or portable building.
The unique characteristics possessed by modular and portable buildings are that the embodied energy required to manufacture them is transportable. The embodied energy of both traditional and modular buildings is locked into their fabric. In traditional buildings this is largely lost when they are no longer required and demolished, even when the materials are recycled, however, with modular and / or portable buildings the embodied energy can be relocated along with the modules to another site.
