Is the building or house you are sitting in right now contributing to global warming? Chances are it is. Due to inefficient construction methods, commercial buildings and residential homes are responsible for 39% of all human CO2 Greenhouse Gas emissions worldwide - this according to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). These harmful CO2 gases are created through the total amount of fossil fuel energy that is consumed to heat and cool buildings and homes throughout the world.

Why are buildings consuming so much more energy than they should? The answer is simple: inefficient framing techniques. Throughout the years, most conventional building walls and roofs have been framed the “old fashioned way” from wood or metal studs with wood or gypsum based sheets nailed over them. Fiberglass insulation is then placed in between the studs from the inside. The big problem is that this “stick-built” framing method is inaccurate due to so many moving parts being assembled under job site time constraints. It leaves serious gaps in the corners, at the tops of the wall, and in the window frames causing the building or home to “leak” its warm or cool air. Studies report that this stick-built framing method can exhibit more than a 50% loss in R value performance due to these gaps, settling of the loose insulation and also right through the framing studs themselves (where the insulation does not cover). Its no wonder why buildings and homes are such major violators of energy waste and their resulting CO2 emission output. It also makes you question why they continue to be framed this way.

There is a solution to this problem - Eko SIPs (Structural Insulated Panels). These innovative building panels are factory-built utilizing two 1/2” thick Magnesium Oxide Cement (MgO) skins that are “sandwiched” over an insulating core of expanded polystyrene (EPS) foam. The two MgO skins and the EPS foam core are average in strength by themselves, but when these three pieces are pressure-laminated to one another, they form a composite panel that is exponentially stronger than the sum of its parts. When assembled with its connection hardware, the resulting frame system is strong and energy-efficient. It also saves our Earth's trees by using no lumber in the entire system.

With its large framing modules, preinsulated cores, and its precision manufacturing, Eko SIPs can improve a building's energy-efficiency (and CO2 output) by providing leak-free construction and a complete insulation barrier. Studies show the system can provide up to 60% energy savings for the owner. The cost to construct is similar to stick-built framing primarily due to its speed of installation.

Through its expanding dealer base, the company's goal is to eliminate inefficient framing methods throughout every city in North America. Qualified dealers are currently being recruited now.

“Dealers are the key to our movement. We are seeking construction entrepreneurs to fill exclusive territories nationwide”, says Rob Johnson, VP of Sales for Eko Industries, Inc. “This is really a great opportunity for anyone that can effectively work with general contractors while also handling a fast-paced, multimillion dollar enterprise. If they're looking for a niche business with the chance to make a difference in our environment, there's not much better than this“.
