Why Modular is Green
Modular construction is an environmentally-conscious choice for the construction industry. Modular construction is inherently more sustainable than traditional site-built construction due to:
- Minimal waste due to precise material accounting, measurement, and recycling
- Reduced environmental pollutants from transportation and construction materials
- Shorter build time
- Use of certain materials and components that are Energy-Star, Green Seal, FSC-certified along with other appropriate sources.
- Buildings almost completely reusable and designed for that purpose, if desired.
- Minimal site disruption
