We have created a housing package that utilizes carefully selected systems allowing the organization doing the erection and completion to do so with semi-skilled labor in a short period of time. The construction methods and systems chosen and developed produce a house with proven efficiencies, performance and economy. Volume purchasing allow for the inclusion of components in the packages that are high quality, very efficient and ecologically sound at an economical price. In conjunction with The Institute of Ecolonomics, Chattanooga State Technical Community College, The Governor's Commission on Historically Black Colleges and Universities and numerous other technical education programs Ecosense Solutions is developing a training program to create jobs that are necessary to implement this new paradigm in the building industry. We recognize that merely providing housing without quality jobs does not solve the problem for many of the people in need.
Energy efficiency is a major priority.
The energy consumption of a home affects not only the economics of the home owner but the long term effects to the environment. Included in the housing packages are high efficiency furnaces and water heaters as well as a housing shell with superior insulating and air infiltration qualities. This reduces the amount of energy needed to keep the inhabitants comfortable as well as reducing the particulate and CO2 pollution caused by the production of that energy. The primary market thrust is programs that build homes on in-fill lots in cities. In-fill lots are ones that are vacant often because of condemnation and have become the cities property.
