The Sustainable Alternative Modular (S.A.M.) House is a new home construction technology that was developed to combat the current and future impact of climate change, providing home buyers and developers a structure that can withstand forest fires, hurricanes, moderate earthquakes and high winds with the option to live carbon neutral.
The S.A.M. House was developed in response to greater demands being placed on our most basic form of shelter, our home. After analyzing the effects of climate change on building design, it became obvious that the current methodologies for home construction, which have not significantly changed in the past several years, are simply not adequate for the impacts of climate change such as stronger hurricanes, excessive rainfall and wildfires. The S.A.M. House is the simple solution to meet those increased demands that is easy to construct, can be produced efficiently and is affordable to the average home buyer or builder. The S.A.M. House is a new home construction technology utilizing refined synthetic concrete panels designed specifically to resist the impacts of climate change and most extreme weather events.
The demand is growing everyday from more frequent, strong hurricanes and large, devastating wildfires. The S.A.M. House has the potential to be a multi-billion dollar industry to meet the need for safe replacement housing.
The S.A.M House is strategically positioned to take advantage of new state and local building regulations and offer the only practical solution to meet the higher requirements to be implemented across the U.S. The S.A.M. House not only meets new requirements being contemplated but exceeds the new thresholds which we anticipate will continue to increase as the impacts of climate change continue to be felt across the globe. The S.A.M. House is good for the planet, good for the environment and good for the homeowner.
The world’s rate of climate change has increased rapidly during the last 10 years and the impact is being seen with changes in overall climate and more extreme weather events at a higher frequency. With wildfires, hurricanes, earthquakes and floods causing tens of billions of dollars of damage across the US in the last few years alone, both home builders and home buyers need a solution to combat these issues while preparing for future legislation and required changes to both local building codes and insurances.
Wildfires are devastating tens of thousands of homes each year.
Zoning and building codes are requiring “fire resistant” construction.
Insurance companies will not provide mortage insurance for wood frame homes.
Houses are the fuel for fires - the materials MUST be fire resistant.
The S.A.M. House is a low carbon designed, prefabricated panel assembly home which utilizes renewable materials in an efficient manner to reduce waste, incorporate recycled materials and lessen the impact of home building on the environment.
The design is based on the modular panel concept which allows the panels to be fabricated in a weather-controlled factory and then arranged in different series of modular pieces to provide a vast array of configurations or models of homes.
The S.A.M. House is engineered to withstand up to 200 mph winds, fabricated with non-organic materials that do not burn, will not absorb moisture, and are totally recyclable. The materials will not rot, provide a hospitable surface for mold, mildew or be infested by insects. The S.A.M. House is totally fire resistant with the entire outer skin including the walls, roof and windows being flame proof.
The most vulnerable elements in any house, the doors and windows, have the most advanced technology available with impact resistance in conformance with the most stringent building requirements or fire-resistant ceramic glass capable of withstanding 1400 degrees. The doors are certified 4- hour fire rated with sealed steel frames to withstand close proximity fire and impacts from flying debris.
The S.A.M. House is the complete answer to the impacts of climate change that must be addressed to replace the large number of homes that have been lost in recent years from extreme weather caused by warmer global temperatures. Every material found in a typical S.A.M. House has been considered and specified to address the issues brought on by the current environmental conditions.
