If you've ever seen a site where local contractors are building a house, the debris and overflowing trash is sitting in a dumpster waiting to be transported to a waste treatment facility or landfill. How much of the discarded material could actually be used in other projects or recycled for future use? Quite a bit actually. In the factory setting where modular homes are built, waste is kept to an absolute minimum. A loin cut from one house will be used for the next if possible. The same thing happens with other materials, including drywall, insulation, electrical wiring, etc. Additionally, the actual waste that often remains is handled through recycling efforts. Many manufacturers have connections with hip yards that recycle scrap wood in exchange for their business.
Resources are generally always limited and in this day and age of oil dependence and power outages, energy has the most attention. When homes are built in a climate-controlled factory, the amount of energy used per home is remarkably lower than the energy used per home when built on site. Saving space leads to energy conservation. In addition, manpower resources are better utilized because more efficient work is generated per employee compared to on-site tasks. Finally, time can be our most valuable resource. By reducing the construction time to a few weeks instead of a few months, time and all forms of energy resources are saved. Each makes the modular home industry a leader in conservation.
Another major area of environmental responsibility is the area of design. Architectural designs within the modular home industry have really focused on energy efficiency in their efforts. The reduction of "non-inhabitable" space in the design, as well as the implementation of layout solutions leading to better circulation of heat and air, reduce the demands on energy consumption in households. In addition, many homes have options for solar panels, geothermal systems, and other alternative energy sources if the consumer so desires. While these arrangements are possible within a site-built home, the factory setting makes these designs more suitable for large-scale production. This can create a greater impact on the housing market more quickly.
It goes without saying that as a society and a planet, the environment demands our attention. It is appropriate for all industries to consider these requirements and make maximum efforts to lead towards environmentally friendly products and services. Through resource allocation, waste management and innovative design, the modular home industry takes this responsibility seriously; and existing measures offer further advances for the future.
