13. Introducing Superior Walls and Green Building

14. Green Points Reduces Energy Leakage Building with Superior Walls insulated precast concrete wall panels provides your home with an excellent thermal envelope, minimizing the potential for energy leakage. The combination of pre- engineered built in insulation and high strength concrete is a great foundation for energy conservation.

15. Green Points Lowers Energy Utilities Built-in insulation helps lower energy loss through the basement walls. The R-12.5 insulation throughout the wall panels minimizes thermal transfer. The pre- studded wall panels include a cavity for additional insulation to maximize R-value.

16. Green Points Saves Valuable Natural Resources Since the foundation wall panels are engineered and manufactured with insulated concrete studs, Superior Walls reduces the amount of lumber, stone, sand and concrete in your new home.

17. Green Points Pre-Engineered for energy and strength Superior Walls 5000psi concrete, engineered with a low water-cement ratio, insures durability and helps to prevent the transfer of moisture through the wall. A dry basement will limit the possibility of mold and other airborne fungus that can be found in traditional basements and affect air quality.

18. Green Points Reduces On-Site Soil Contamination Superior Walls are built in an indoor production facility, thus there is no form oil used at the jobsite. Because damp-proofing is built-in (ESR-1662) there is no need to use on- site bituminous coatings. Reduces Jobsite Waste With the reduction of the building cycle time, there is less environmental impact and less jobsite waste than a home using a traditional foundation.

19. The Superior Building Process Builder submits blueprintsExcavator prepares site Insulation set (Superior Walls factory) Concrete poured (Superior Walls factory) Walls delivered by trailer Certified Superior Walls crew completes installation
