Huge Savings,  Almost Anywhere
      New Frontier SIPs  
  vs.  
Hurricane Ike  

Already have a home?  No wind?  Limited lot size?  Sometimes you can't do it all, but that doesn't mean you can't save big on energy costs where you live right now. 

         
A solar hot water system can be easily integrated into your existing water lines.  It functions up to 30 degrees below freezing, and can take 1.5" hail at 60mph.  Easily serviced and virtually maintenance-free, solar hot water can save you 20% or more on your energy bill.

Solar Hot Water is now eligible for a 30% federal tax credit
LED lights are the easiest energy efficient upgrade to justify and implement in existing homes, businesses and outdoor areas.  With a payback of just a few years, and over 25 years between replacements, LED lighting is the first option any current or prospective home or business owner should consider to save energy, time and money.

   

     This New Frontier home with SIP floor, walls and roof was nearing completion when the third most destructive hurricane in U.S. history came ashore.  Upon inspection, the interior was found completely dry, and no structural damage was found.   The homes on each side were completely destroyed.

Welcome to New Frontier Building Systems

sustainable solutions for a better home and brighter future

     New Frontier Structures offers the latest technologies in energy efficient, green building systems for your new home or office building.  With dozens of pre-engineered kits to choose from, and customized options available, we can offer you the very best in performance at the greatest value possible.  With insulation values up to R-50, and installation times of less than a week, New Frontier Structures paves the way for the future of home building in an increasingly uncertain landscape of rapidly escalating energy costs and ever-dwindling natural resources.

     All New Frontier Structures are constructed with Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs).  Joining high performance rigid foam insulation to oriented strand board (OSB) produces a remarkable engineered building component.  The result is a building product that is predictable, resource efficient and cost effective.  SIPs can be used as walls, floors and roofs, with installation times far below typical construction methods. 

    SIP buildings are stronger, cleaner, quieter, tighter and vastly more energy efficient than older technology systems like traditional stud framing with fiberglass insulation.  For instance, fiberglass is sometimes used for furnace air filters because the air moves so freely through it.  On the other hand, rigid insulation is used in the refrigeration industry for its inherent energy efficiency and lack of air movement.  These attributes are built right into our SIP buildings.  This engineered joining of rigid insulation and OSB also improves overall structural integrity.  Not only do test results show these panels are stronger, but real life natural disasters have proven it time and time again.  One example, a SIP resort project in Taiwan, survived 175 mph winds in September 2000 with zero structural damage.

      New Frontier Structures provides an environmentally friendly, GREEN building system:
        -Up to 80% less raw timber used in a full SIP building.
        -Lower heating and cooling bills translate to lower energy consumption.
        -Use of fast-growing, farm-raised trees rather than old growth forests.
        -Less jobsite waste also means less landfill use.
        -Lower imbedded energy costs used to manufacture the different components.

     With the skyrocketing energy costs and shrinking natural resources available worldwide, SIP construction is one of the fastest growing segments in the construction industry.  Since the mid-1980’s, major building codes have accepted SIPs as a structural building component system.  Over 20 years of destructive laboratory testing to nationally recognized code standards, along with 50 years of real-world experience in homes and businesses worldwide, have proven that a structure built with SIPs is the best possible choice for home and light commercial construction today.

    In addition to our SIP structures, New Frontier Structures offers complimentary systems to create the greatest performance possible from your home or building.  To address air conditioning and quality needs, we offer a high-velocity heating and air-conditioning unit.  Unlike conventional heating and cooling systems that cycle on and off on demand, Hi-Velocity systems can run constantly and quietly even when the system is not producing hot or cold air.  This constant air movement, delivered by the unique two-inch flexible ducts, creates a gentle fresh air flow through the home.  The exiting air gently mixes all air within the room.  Since the air circulation is constant, the temperature from floor to ceiling is consistent, unlike conventional systems where the air is always hotter at the ceiling and colder on the floor.  In addition, the new high efficiency motors reduce operating costs by up to 50%.  With adaptable ducts and the ability to place the decorative vents in floors, walls or ceilings, the Hi-Velocity Systems are designed to give the highest quality air and the best year round comfort available.

     Complimenting these systems is our line of air purification systems.  With our air-tight homes, we finally have control over our interior environment, and New Frontier offers the perfect solution for a cleaner, healthier home or office:

bullet Electrostatic MERV-11 Filter Removes Allergans Electrostatically: So small that they can only be seen with a microscope. Pollen, mold, fungal spores, dust mites, cockroach dust, tobacco smoke and bacteria are but a few examples.
bullet "Photo-Catalytic Oxidation" Destroys Toxic Chemicals and Eliminates Household Odors
Activated carbon, zeolite and potassium permanganate used by the best air purifiers can rapidly absorb large quantities of toxic fumes, however this media quickly becomes saturated and slowly releases pollutants back into the air stream. Photo-Catalytic Oxidation converts toxic compounds, even carbon monoxide and nitrous oxide, into benign constituents such as carbon dioxide and water without wearing out or losing its effectiveness.
bullet Ultraviolet Light Kills Disease Germs on Contact
Ultraviolet light 10,000 times the intensity of sun light kills viruses and bacteria too small to be filtered out by a Hepa filter. Ultraviolet technology combined with photo-catalytic oxidation is the most important feature in air purification since germs are easily spread from one person to another by central heating and air-conditioning systems.

    The next step toward our goal of affordable sustainability is to reduce the energy load required of your building.  LED lighting is a fantastic yet simple way to reduce that energy load, and can be implemented into any project, new or old.  With bulbs pulling only a few watts each, and a lifespan in excess of twenty years, LEDs not only save considerable money throughout their life, but save you the trouble of replacing the bulbs for decades at a time.  If you have high ceilings, you understand that benefit alone justifies the purchase. 

     Solar hot water is another sustainable solution we offer to reduce the energy debt.  Our solution can function well in almost any climate and under most conditions, including overcast days, or at temperatures up to 30 degrees below freezing.  We can also use that heated water in tandem with our Hi-Velocity system to provide central heat to your home or office.

     What does it all mean?  A home or office built with SIPs, a Hi-Velocity system and a whole-house air purification system will outperform nearly anything the industry has to offer.  The SIPs provide a tight, clean and quiet interior with superior strength and insulation.  The Hi-Velocity system provides quiet, constant temperatures and energy savings while offering the ability to use solar hot water to provide heat to your home.  The whole-house air purification system provides fresh, clean air and a healthy living environment.  We can power it all with on or off-grid wind and solar powered electrical systems.  LED lights can save you time and money (or reduce your own generated energy demand) and last for decades.  As can be seen, each system compliments the other perfectly to achieve a wonderful living environment that meets its own energy demand - a net-zero energy home.  When combined, the whole is even greater than the considerable sum of its parts.  Offering fantastic savings to your wallet, health and world, New Frontier Structures is indeed the new frontier in building technology today.
