Participation in Green Projects
Capsys' system of modular construction is sensitive to environmental impact. From the efficient construction methods used to reduce waste to the intelligent use of recycled materials, Capsys is very responsive to the need for sustainable construction practices.
Capsys has produced ENERGYSTAR townhouses and LEED Silver buildings. A large amount of the material used in the construction of the steel framed modules qualify for points in the LEED rating system.
The Capsys team regularly participates in research and training related to green building techniques. Our projects have incorporated such features as:
- Geothermal Heat pumps to deliver heating and cooling
- Energy efficient lighting fixtures
- Low-VOC and formaldehyde-free materials
- Low flow plumbing fixtures to achieve significant water use reduction
- Composite insulation systems
Capsys can assist very early in the design phase with valuable information on integrating current sustainable building design processes into the overall design. We can also help reduce the costs of working within the framework of green certification systems such as LEED by contributing specified information in a timely way.
