Environmentally Sustainable Design

he use of modular construction embodies certain inherent sustainability advantages to meet the triple bottom line of social, economic and environmental costs.

The advantages include:

• The modules are totally reusable, can be disconnected and moved to a new location 
• Reduced production of greenhouse gas emissions (particularly carbon dioxide);
• Reduced use of natural resources, in particular water, gas and electricity;
• Enhanced building occupant health, comfort and safety
• The use of existing mature supply and logistics networks
• Using intelligent manufacturing systems as standard the energy consumption for the module construction can be reduced
• There is lower waste produced in the factory compared to on site this reduces the amount of materials going to site reducing or eliminate the amount of waste going to landfill
• The latest environmental standards, ratings and materials can be incorporated into the design
• With cutting edge interiors and wall construction the thermal performance reduces the energy needed to cool or heat the modules
• There is a reduction in material kilometers required (the distance products have to come to site) as the modules arrive complete

All of these advantages of modular construction contribute to a more environmental friendly and lower carbon footprint construction project.

Environmental Policy

SIPC is committed to protecting the environment and working towards sustainable development across its operations. Continuous improvement will be achieved by setting measurable aims and objectives, assigning environmental responsibilities and communication outcome to all interested parties.

Consultation on environmental matters and procedures will involve all appropriate stakeholders and contractors involved in the modular manufacturing and transportation.
