Technical Data Manual Now Available
Technical Manual Now Available to Architects,
Engineers and Designers for Galvanized Steel Structural Insulated Panel System
Alternative Construction Technologies Announces
Invitation To Specify Durable, Energy Efficient, Environmentally Friendly and
Rapidly Assembled Green
Building Materials with
ACTech® Panel System
Melbourne,
FL, Friday, September 29, 2008, Alternative
Construction Technologies, Inc. (OTCBB: ACCY) announced today that it is making
its galvanized steel ACTech® Structural Insulated (SIP) Panel System Technical
Manual widely available to architects, engineers and designers for the first time.
The manual is designed to answer any of the questions asked by construction professional’s
intent on specifying materials that address the rapidly growing demand for
energy efficient design and environmentally friendly building products. The
ACTech® Panel System addresses many of the concerns left unanswered by the
traditional commodity construction materials such as lumber and brick. By
specifying the ACTech® Panel System, industry professionals and savvy consumers
can expect to enjoy: a turnkey structural package delivered directly to the
jobsite; a completed structural building envelope that cuts the construction
time by as much as 30-60%; monthly energy savings up to 70%; mold, mildew and
fungus resistance; disaster resistant strength; outstanding indoor air quality;
excellent acoustical values; speed and ease of use; higher resale values; and
many others.
The Technical
Manual is designed to provide detailed information to the architects, engineers
and designers seeking the methods and materials that take advantage of the
trends in green consumerism and the need for disaster resilient structures in
the face of increasing severe weather phenomena. The Technical Manual will be
offered under registered copy and be easily downloadable through an FTP site.
Requests will be serviced through our website or by email at: design@actechpanel.com.
“This is a
significant milestone for this company,” stated Austin Woods, Design Department
Manager. “Now, for the first time, architects and designers will be able to
specify our SIP system and provide consumers and builders what they seek,” he
added.
Alternative
Construction Technologies, Inc. (ACT) possesses a unique and patented construction
technology called the ACTech® Panel System that is used in the design and
erection of state-of-the-art “green” buildings in commercial, residential,
industrial, military, pre-engineered and modular building applications, as well
as patented safe rooms. Generically known as structural insulated panel (SIP),
ACT’s revolutionary and efficient construction solution utilizes an inherently
better “next generation”, galvanized steel “skin” SIP system to complete energy
efficient, stronger, safer, faster, Class-1 fire rated and more economical
structures than conventional wood and brick based building products or first
generation SIP products. The patented ACTech® Panel is environmentally-friendly
and easier to construct with – not only saving labor cost and cutting construction
time, but also reducing recurring monthly heating and cooling energy bills
consistently by 30-50% and often as much as 70%. Very importantly, the
ACTech® Panel possesses disaster resistant strength and has tested stronger
than conventional concrete block or wood frame construction. In combination
with FEMA compliant hurricane projectile tests, the ACTech® Panel continues to
meet the most stringent wind, projectile and uplift codes in the nation levied
by the 2006 Florida Building Code. The ACTech® Panel System offers
builders and consumers many competitive and comparative advantages of use due
to its wide range of attributes. As severe weather phenomenon continues to
intensify, needs for more energy efficient buildings amplify, this new construction
technology gains awareness, or hurricane and tornado-prone states establish new
building codes and rebuild from recent weather disasters, ACT believes its’
products will be in greater demand. ACT
has recently added ancillary services, including design, consulting and
construction through its various general contracting subsidiaries. When
specifying the ACTech® Panel System as the “green” structural building material
into any construction application, it is most probable that a LEED (Leadership
in Energy & Environmental Design), Florida Green Building Coalition,
FP&L (NYSE: FPL) BuildSmart and/or Energy Star rating will be readily
achieved.
