Campus Maker mPlex: The Energy Efficient, Flexible Modular Classroom Solution
Green modular classrooms are bringing eco-friendliness out of textbooks into the world for students. How cool would it be if kids, who learn about reducing their carbon footprint, could study in a truly energy-efficient classroom? With the Mobile Modular Campus Maker mPlex, our unique modular classroom design, schools can get green classrooms that won’t break the budget and provide long-term value.
How are modular classrooms energy efficient?
Green modular classrooms, like the Campus Maker mPlex, are designed to be energy efficient in many ways. This energy neutral relocatable classroom truly delivers on high energy efficiency.
1. Energy Efficient Design Floors
Our green modular school buildings have floors insulated with a vapor barrier according to International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) standards, so that classroom’s energy efficiency and durability are improved. The Campus Maker mPlex classroom also comes with multiple finish flooring options.
Walls
The modular classrooms design has walls with permanent construction quality, plywood sheathing, a commercial-grade, heavy-duty vapor barrier, and insulation in accordance with IECC standards.
Windows
Windows can really impact the energy efficiency of your school building. Our vinyl dual pane windows have low E-glass to facilitate reflection of radiant energy, reducing heat gain and loss of energy. They also provide better natural lighting for an enhanced learning environment.
Roof
The roofs of our energy efficient modular classrooms are insulated, EPDM roofs and their transverse sloping design diverts rainfall away from exterior openings like doors and windows.
Restrooms
Every one of our green modular school buildings has restrooms with standard epoxy flooring. This flooring can handle the traffic abuse from hundreds of students over the years.
2. Energy Efficient Features
These standard green features in our Campus Maker mPlex enhance the energy efficient design:
HVAC
- Our energy efficient classrooms have a high-efficiency HVAC system and intelligent energy management system for a well-ventilated interior.
- Automatic temperature, humidity, and fresh air exchange controls.
Materials
- Natural fiber insulation which contains a high percentage of recycled materials and saves energy.
- Locally sourced materials when available.
Water
- Low flush toilets with smart valves, which conserve water, especially useful in states with strict water regulations.
- Automated faucets.
- Automated paper towel and hand soap dispensers.
Light
- Passive shading devices, which reduce building heat gain and increase the natural lighting quality.
- LED fixtures and lamps that save energy long term.
- Tubular daylighting system, which is an energy efficient way of using the sun’s natural light from sunrise to sunset.
Energy
- Tankless hot water heaters, which supply hot water only when required, reducing standby energy losses.
- CO2 monitoring system.
- UVC (Ultraviolet germicidal irradiation) light for HVAC condenser cells, which reduces energy use, decreases system maintenance costs, and provides cleaner, healthier air.
