WHAT IS CFS? IS IT RIGHT FOR YOUR NEXT PROJECT

A great article on Cold Formed Steel (CFS) construction.  Many agencies and the private sector are choosing  CFS, you need to decide if it is right for your project.

http://www.buildsteel.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/CFS_Architects_Final_07262017.pdf

For years there has been a debate if steel or wood construction is a better alternative.  The only solid answer to that is discuss the pros and cons on your project to see what is a better fit.

In the world of modular and prefabrication where time serves as the driving monetary value, CFS makes sense on many projects.   With the ability to order customized special materials delivered straight to site, with no additional cutting or labor investment, you can save a substantial amount of time.  Another large benefit is the cradle to grave recycle factor.



Wood framing has many benefits including fire treated wood, commercially available product, LEED points for being locally sourced.

Modular Buildings For Public Transportation Systems

Modular Buildings For Public Transportation Facilities

Modular Solutions For Public Transportation Departments

Modular Solutions, Ltd provided a design build transit center for the Lake Havasu City Public Transit Department.

Their team was growing, and needed a permanent space to place the employees and a safe place to collect funds from clients that would come in to purchase tickets.

Modular Solutions, Ltd used permanent alternative construction for this project to make sure the building would blend in with the community, have LEED sustainable qualities, and be built with a 50+ year life cycle.

The employees now have a great locker room, a safe bullet resistant window to collect cash payments, and a facility that brings great savings on monthly operational costs.

Indoor Air Quality, What Is That?

One phrase that has been seen more in the modular building industry lately is "indoor Air Quality". What does that really mean?

Indoor air quality (IAQ) simply refers to the air quality within modular and traditional constructed buildings and structures. IAQ usually relates to the health and comfort of building occupants. IAQ can be affected by gases (including carbon monoxide, radon, volatile organic compounds), particulates, microbial contaminants (mold, bacteria), or any mass or energy stressor that can induce adverse health conditions. In most cases buildings being utilized for classroom or office use can be brought up to current standards by updating fresh air standards. Some occupants can be sensitive to the gases in a building (traditional or modular), and need special corrections.

When a project is LEED the category this usually falls under is Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ). This is only one of the categories, that LEED uses as a standard to provide comfort, well-being, and productivity of the building occupants. The LEED IEQ category helps address design and construction guidelines pertaining to: indoor air quality (IAQ), thermal quality, and lighting quality.

Proper building ventilation, fresh air, windows, natural & electric lighting, VOC or gas emissions, all fall under the environmental conditions inside a modular or traditional structure.

Reduce Your Carbon Footprint, With A Solatube

With everyone wanting to be more "green" and building an environmentally friendly modular building we often asked what is a better way to light naturally without all the heat penetration from standard windows. Our solution has been to include "solatube" lighting. This is a name brand, I think their industry nomenclature is tubular daylight device. What ever you choose to call them, there are many great benefits.

1. No heat transference, sky lights and windows allow sunlight in-the design of this device only allows the light to bend through & into your space
2. These tubular daylights are so bright you can even turn off all lighting during the day & have a brightly lit room
3. With the flexible shape & design they can be placed almost anywhere in your modular building
4. Low maintenance & repair. Unlike traditional skylights that require motors and constant maintenance, when installed properly an annual inspection will show if you need any preventative maintenance.
5. Energy star endorses the "solatube" brand due to its proprietary bright lighting capacity, and light damper capacity
Their website is located at : http://www.solatube.com/commercial

Anything you can design into your modular building to reduce your carbon footprint is the great for the environment. This is an alternative that has been very successful in warm and sunny climates.

Can my modular building get LEED certified?

What qualifies a building for LEED certification?

Any building alone can NOT be LEED certified. The goal with LEED is to certify an entire PROJECT. This means a modular building is no different than a traditional building in the eyes of LEED accredited professionals.
If you structure your project correctly you can actually get MORE points by using a modular building and having a higher recycle content, and other factors that make prefabricated construction more amenable to LEED professionals.

As always our professional preconstruction team is available to answer any questions or help guide you.

A Building that is 100% recyclable....can it be?

Go green by choosing prefabricated construction. By choosing a prefabricated building that is constructed to be relocated, you are able to re-use the entire structure and 100% of its' components. This is truly the best solution to buildings and materials ending up in a landfill!

If you are looking for a program that is reducing carbon footprint, Modular Solutions, Ltd has a recycle program where modular buildings which have served their life cycle use for a current client are repurposed. Our team takes a prefabricated building in and re-builds the modular building to meet current codes and update the appearance. These buildings are kept out of the landfill, and are put back into usefulness and serving a purpose. Modular Solutions, Ltd is on the forefront of providing innovative and dynamic solutions to help our clients reduce their carbon footprint. For more information check out the website: www.modularsolutionsltd.com or call one of our professional representatives at (800) 441-8577 or give us a quick email to information@modularsolutionsltd.com Looking forward to sharing more on prefabricated buildings, if you don't see it here.....ask us- Modular Solutions, Ltd are the industry experts!
