In recent years, building "green" has become an attractive approach to construction for many new building projects. With the depletion of natural resources and a concern about global CO2 emissions, many customers are choosing to go green to lessen their individual impact on the environment.

However, with recent technological advancements in green building design along with rising utility costs, more and more people are going green because of the inherent efficiency of green buildings and the impressive life-cycle cost savings that they can produce.

Modular Space Systems is proud to offer Mod 5, an advanced sustainable building system adaptable to many climate and application specific requirements.

Mod 5 provides many advantages in the pursuit of LEED certification and net-zero energy usage including:

• Modularity -- mod 5 uses state-of-the-art modular building technologies to ensure minimal site disturbance, which allows the buildings to be placed on protected sites or even off the grid. Because most of the building is assembled in a protected environment, the materials used in construction are kept dry and away from harmful weather that can lead to mold (which leads to poor indoor air quality) and other building inefficiencies. The entire building system including the foundation is relocatable. In addition, unused building materials can be recycled more easily, and construction waste can be disposed of responsibly.
• Design -- The mod 5 system provides a highly insulated building envelope while allowing for advanced daylighting and passive solar heating through proper orientation techniques.. Combined with a smart aesthetic, the use of highly recyclable, low VOC-emitting materials, and a wide choice of options, the Mod5 is an innovative alternative to traditional building design.
• Options -- The mod 5 system can accommodate many different design options, which can greatly improve the efficiency of the building depending on the local climate conditions of the site and the application of the building. A few of the many options include on-site water generation systems, localized wastewater technologies, passive solar heating, ground-sourced heating/cooling, and power generation systems including solar and wind.
