Lowest cradle to grave costs - Embodied energy is the term applied and is the sum of many complex calculations. It is an attempt to account for all the energies of a product from the beginning of its life to the point when it is finished, in its final form, as erected ready for use in its final position.

Architects call CBS superior - Using the CBS structures and panels, your building can qualify buildings for up to 21 Leadership in Environment Engineering Design (LEED) points towards a GREEN certification under this universally accepted rating system.

Glass fibers can be melted into glass – Ropes made from glass fibers are like bundles of fishing lines. They are combined with glass fabrics and layered to make CBS parts stronger than any other building material.

CBS homes use up to 97% less building materials - A typical 2,000 square feet (186 square meter) structurally reinforced home contains about 1 ton of composites versus 17 tons of wood or 41 tons of concrete block. The CBS home is made up of 1,500 pounds (680 kg) of glass, made from sand, which can always be melted and recycled into other forms of glass.

The other component in CBS composites is resin weighing less than 400 pounds (181 kg) in the same size building. Composite resins are derived either from oil or natural gas. 400 pounds of resin is approximately the same weight as2-1/2 tanks of gas in your car. As you fill your car every third time, your petrochemical consumption could have been used to provide one 2,000 square foot (186 square meter) affordable, sustainable, engineered, and high-performance home for someone protect their family from hurricanes, tornadoes, termites, mold, fire, and flood with a 50 year warranty.

15,000 acres (6,070 hectares) of trees can be saved each year - CBS produces its tree-free composites at two locations and is planning production in other locations. Three plants will save 45,000 acres (18,212 hectares) or 70 square miles (181 square kilometers) of trees from being clear cut annually.

Each tree consumes carbon dioxide green house gases and produces life sustaining oxygen. Oxygen is more important to healthy lives and our breathing than is the value the carbon foot prints when we measure environmental impact.

CBS machines make studs 24 hours a day 7 days a week at a rate of 9 feet (3 meters) per minute. While this pace is too slow to walk, it is much faster than any tree can grow. CBS homes have been labeled green friendly.
