DID YOU KNOW: MODULAR CONSTRUCTION IS GREENER THANKS TO FEWER MILES BY CONSTRUCTION VEHICLES
November 27th, 2009 by Excel TeamFile Under: General
Almost everyone is aware that modular homes are, on average, more energy efficient than stick-built homes. But some people point to the fact that the modules have to be driven via large, flatbed trucks to the final location as a reason why modular construction might not be as green as one might think.
It’s a valid point, but the shocking fact is – shocking even to some of us in the modular industry – that modular construction uses just 10 percent of the vehicle movements that stick built construction does. You heard that right. Even though these homes are transported on truck, modular homes rack up just a fraction of the mileage that the traditional construction process does.
It’s just another example of how modular really is the greener option.
