THERMOCOL MANUFACTURING - "JEHAN GREEN WALLS"

GREEN TECHNOLOGIES

MARCH 28, 2018

Description:

• In close proximity to its state of the art integrated manufacturing facility in Sharjah, Jehan Green Walls FZE is setting up its Office to accommodate the production and management staff.
• The pioneers in green building and energy efficient structures in the Middle East and Asia, Green Technologies FZCO, is partnering with Jehan Green Walls FZE, a company committed to delivering green, energy efficient solutions in the form of insulated pre-cast walls for the construction industry, to deliver another challenging iconic project for the region.
• At a time when the Developers of high performance green buildings in the region, such as LEED Gold and Platinum achievers are aspiring to build iconic, energy independent structures, Green Technologies along with Jehan Green Walls FZE are driving to realize these aspirations through a Near Nett Zero Energy Building which will also pursue a LEED Platinum certification from the USGBC.
• In keeping with the policies and objectives of the company, the Jehan Green Walls Office, is deemed to be built in line with the USGBC’s LEED for New Construction Rating System Version 2009. As an eco friendly firm promoting sustainable development, the Jehan Green Walls Office Building is planned to operate as a model building showcasing the highest levels of sustainability, leading in the region as THE MOST ENERGY EFFICIENT BUILDING WITH COMMERCIAL VIABILITY in the Middle East.
• As forerunners of the global green building movement and the consultants of pioneering projects such as the First LEED Green Building outside the USA, and of the First LEED Green Building in the Middle East, Green Technologies is heading the project team, providing the technical as well as the technological expertise on energy, overall sustainability and LEED.

What is it

The 3D Panel is a prefabricated three dimensional lightweight panels consisting of an insulated polystyrene core sandwiched between two engineered layers of galvanised steel welded wire fabric mesh.

The 3D panels receives their strength and rigidity from the diagonal truss wires welded to the wire mesh layers on each side of the panels that pass through the core.

These panels are light weight, have high value of recycled material, are adaptable to any shape easily and have a superior thermal property.

Where can it be used

The 3D panels can be used as a total self supporting structure eliminating need for columns, beams and framed structures where the 3D Panels are used as walls and slabs. After 3D Panels are installed / concrete is sprayed / poured to form the structures.

Or the 3D panels can be used as infill walls (Internal & External) to replace block work in framed structures. Panels are placed, anchored to existing frame and sprayed with Shotecrete materials.

The two above ways of application will provide you with a green edge while saving not only your money but your time also.

Why is it green

The 3D panels consists of two major components, EPS (Expanded Polystyrene) & Galvanised Mesh & trusses. The EPS core produces minimal emissions during manufacturing and is free from formaldehyde, ozone depleting CFC’s and HCFC’s. All the pentane used for expanding the polystyrene is extracted from the finished product so it can be reused over and again.

As for the Galvanized mesh & trusses are produced with Hot-dip galvanizing technology which can contribute positively to sustainable development initiatives because of its longevity in corrosion protection, 100% recyclability, and minimal environmental impact. The hot-dip galvanized coating is comprised of over 98% zinc metal. Additionally, because galvanizing provides maintenance-free corrosion protection for 50+ years, it does not require additional energy, materials, or environmental impact expended to constantly maintain the coating.

On the other hand and regarding the application and finished building behaviour, the 3D panels will reduce on site Co2 emission due to its light weight (no heavy machinery), will provide a high Breathability for the Buildings - (Vapour resistivity and condensation) - due to its Hydrothermal behaviour, will reduce the consumption of energy needed for HVAC due to its thermal insulation properties; moreover the 3D Construction System for a Villa have less carbon footprint once compared with conventional system – cradle to site gate LCA (ISO 14040) & Modelling approach (Carbon footprint calculator 1.2 Beta, Environment Agency) – the total Co2 emission 20 years is 1,499 Tone to be compared with 1,664 tones of Co2 for the same villa built with conventional system.
