QuantumCare has partnered with one of the most technologically advanced manufacturers of low cost, energy efficient building materials in the world. IHSN, Inc., inventors and developers of the ThermaSave Building System, have designated QuantumCare as an Authorized Agent to identify national and international use of the ThermaSave System . Targeted projects will include affordable housing developments, national and international clinics, and strategic manufacturing plants. The U.S. Dept. of Energy has endorsed the ThermaSave System and supports its use in not only the U.S., but also worldwide.

 

  • Reduces energy use 50% to 70%, compared to a conventionally constructed house

  • Can be assembled more quickly than conventional stick-built houses, reducing construction costs

  • Is constructed without the use of wood

  • Is virtually termite-proof, fire-proof, and mold-proof

  • Does not release chlorofluorocarbons

  • Is structurally sound to survive severe storms, hurricanes, and earthquakes

  • Can last a century or more with minimal maintenance

In the United States, buildings account for: 39% of total energy use, 12% of the total water consumption, 68% of total electricity consumption, 38% of the carbon dioxide emissions. The commercially built environment has a vast impact on the natural environment performance. Green construction methods can be integrated into buildings at any stage, from design and construction, to renovation and deconstruction. However, the most significant benefits can be obtained if the design and construction team takes an integrated approach from the earliest stages of a building project. Potential benefits of green building can include:

 

Environmental Benefits
  • Enhance and protect biodiversity  and ecosystems
  • Improve air and water quality
  • Reduce waste streams
  • Conserve and restore natural resources
 Economic Benefits
  • Reduce operating costs
  • Create, expand, and shape markets for green product and services
  • Improve occupant productivity
  • Optimize life-cycle economic performance

 

 Social Benefits
  • Enhance occupant comfort and health
  • Heighten aesthetic qualities
  • Minimize strain on local infrastructure
  • Improve overall quality of life
