Reducing Our Carbon Footprint

At Modular Solutions, Ltd we know that it is important to not only teach our client how to have an environmentally friendly design and construction package, but to also include that in our company philosophy and our within our company culture.   Our corporate offices are made from 100% upcycle modular building components that would have ended up in a landfill if we had not taken them through the factory & reconstructed them for re-use.


Some of the great improvements we are making to reduce our own carbon footprint include:

  • LED interior lighting for lower energy consumption
  • HIGHER SEER or more efficient mechanical units, for lower energy consumption and longer life cycle of the mechanical units.
  • Adhesive ground covering to improve dust control
  • All exterior walls are 2 x 6 construction with recycle component insulation package
  • Sola-tubes to allow natural lighting inside without heat increase
  • Carpet Tiles for longer life cycle, and ease of replacement- resulting in only small portions being replaced instead of an entire facility of flooring ending up at the landfill
  • Low and NO VOC paint
  • Timely steel jambs ILO wood jambs for extended life cycle
  • Heavier gauge steel exterior doors, for extended life cycle
So many of the things our company just normally specifies is considered an upgrade or special order with other modular companies and construction companies.

Let our team help you design an environmentally friendly and green structure on your next space addition.

Modular Building With Solar Power

Living in Arizona we have the perfect solution to alternative energy, most clients have sunshine and good weather over 300 days a year and are able to really get back their solar investment quickly. We do however service clients in areas that have sunshine only 65 days a year, and solar power on their modular buildings is not necessarily the best value and investment choice for alternative energy, and for the life cycle of the solar components.

Living green is a life style choice, and if you are an agency you are tasked with making your site projects LEED certified or accredited. Sometimes the cost of the components and the repay on the power grid are not sufficient. Some clients would have to keep the solar panels for over 50 years to see the benefits of the cost of the panels and the installation. Other clients make a small leap and only have solar water heaters or solar pool heaters. No matter what your goals are for the environment, they also have to make sense with your budget.

There are many choices you can make to go "green" and "sustainable" besides just the energy efficiencies that will reduce your carbon footprint. You can use recycled components (ie insulation, carpet) , you can ensure they have low or zero VOC content (ie paint and adhesives), you can choose products that are sustainable such as bamboo flooring, you can upgrade your lighting to LED lights or natural sola-tubes.

Let our design team help you select the best design standards for your location and construction vicinity. There is no universal answer, and by choosing construction professionals such as Modular Solutions you are able to discover & make effective choices based on what is the best for your available schedule, budget, and resources.

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!
