Energy efficient house built with Solarcrete system
I would like to introduce you to Solarcrete energy efficient building system. Please watch this intro video of the Solarcrete energy efficient building system!
My Friend built he’s energy efficient house with Solarcrete’s insulated concrete composite wall system in 1994.
This system was developed in the ’70’s and has been used and under continuous development. The new economy situation and awarness in energy efficient house and design have focus on Solarcrete energy efficient building system.
What is the Solarcrete energy efficient building system?
* Insulating nominal for R-36. Wall begin below the frost line! – No energy gap.
* Steel rod reinforcing cage – System using reinforced Polystyren as a building shell.
* Continuonis wall from footing to top plate.
* Patented plastic wallties – NO thermal bridging
* Min. 2 3/8” concrete ’shotcrete’ on both side.
* Excellent load bearing capacity
* Fire resistance – 2 Hrs fire rating
-Low smoke spread
-Lower insurance rates.
Solarcrete energy efficient building system:Highly Energy Efficiency
Imagine living in a building that can save from 60% to 80% or more in heating and cooling costs! It’s happening now, in Solarcrete buildings. There are two reasons. First, the Solarcrete wall consists of polystyrene (a superior insulant that’s impervious to moisture) sandwiched between two thicknesses of concrete. Together, these yield a standard R-value of 36. Second, the Solarcrete System allows the polystyrene insulation panels to meet flush, unlike conventional walls in which wood or steel studs create “energy gaps” by separating the insulation. Finally, the completed Solarcrete structure becomes a highly efficient “energy trap” within which a conventional heating and cooling system can operate at minimal costs.
I live in Hannibal, Mo. It’s homes are built of steep hills and maintains the historic atmosphere of Mark Twain and life on the Mississippi. I want information on building possibly an earth contact dwelling that would be energy efficient as well as adaptable to my aging body. Is your product available here and would it be applicable to our terrain and the Midwest weather? Thank you, Jean
Hello Jean,
It is very applicable to the Midwest weather.
I suggest that with your specific questions contact with Pete at Solarcrete at http://www.solarcrete2.com/contactus.html
Thank you.
