Green Roofs

    Green Roof Design for Modular Homes

There is an ever growing concern in our country and around the world to produce homes that will help and not harm the environment and decrease building, maintenance and heating and electric costs to the home owner.  These trends are woven into the very fabric of the modular home construction process.  Our modular homes are system built to exceed the efficiency of stick built homes and many lesser quality modular homes.  The high efficiency of our homes is achieved in a number of ways including: efficient home design techniques; efficiencies of the largest modular factory in the world including much less waste than other smaller less efficient factories; advanced building techniques (i.e. inside out construction) and high tech product availability.

Custom Modular Designs offers many options that can make our modular homes even more efficient.  For example, an extreme but very environmentally friendly and energy efficient aspect of a green modular home is a "green roof".  Green roofs are partially or completely covered with vegetation.  This vegetation can either grow within soil planted over a waterproof membrane.  This concept is a trend that is starting to catch on in the modular housing industry.  Green roofs can provide many benefits to the home owner, including the following:

  • Provides extra amenity space;
  • Able to grow fruits, vegetables, and flowers;
  • Reduces heating (by adding mass and thermal resistance value) and cooling (by evaporative cooling) costs on a building;
  • Increase roof life span;
  • Reduces storm water run off;
  • Filters pollutants and CO2 out of the air; and
  • Filters pollutants and heavy metals out of rainwater.

If you are an environmentally concerned customer then a green roof could be a great option we can add to your modular home.  To find out more about green roofs and how we can incorporate it into your modular home please contact our offices at 401.490.0944.
