Building Green and PFB
At PFB Corporation, we are concerned with the
future of the planet and the effects that modern lifestyles may
be having on climate change. We have always placed environmental
protection at the highest level of importance in our products, our
processes and our practices.
It's a fact that 40% of energy consumption is in buildings which
is the place to best conserve scarce nonrenewable energy resources.
PFB insulating building materials are in the limelight, because
using them to construct or retrofit the building envelope of any
building provides the greatest opportunity to save energy and reduce
the burden our lifestyles have on the environment.
PFB products use technologies that consume the least amount of scarce
energy resources in their manufacture; they provide excellent insulating
qualities that reduce energy consumption, thereby reducing harmful
emissions into the atmosphere; plus they save your money by reducing
operating costs of the building.
What is a Net Zero
Energy Home?
Recently there is growing interest in a sustainable
development technology named the “Net Zero Energy home.”
In our definition of the NZE home, the amount of energy consumed
in a year equates to the amount of energy generated by the technologies
employed.
Solar panels generating electricity and geothermal loops transferring
heat combined with the highest-performing insulating building envelopes
can, in fact, generate and conserve all the energy required on a
“net basis” to operate the NZE home during a one-year
cycle.
“PFB better building ideas” make the NZE home possible.
No more heating bills, no more utility charges! This is the ultimate
in green!
