Alternative Construction Technologies, Inc. (ACCY.OB) announced that Florida Power & Light (FPL) has certified the company’s BuildSmart galvanized steel insulated home panels. These panels were constructed under funding by the State Housing Initiative Program in Manatee County, Florida for damage caused by Hurricane Charlie in 2004.
BuildSmart homes are inspected and approved by FPL representatives who are accredited by the State of Florida Department of Community Affairs to rate energy efficiency. These particular panels generate energy savings up to 70% per month. FPL certifies that BuildSmart homes constructed have exceeded state energy code requirement; benefiting homeowners and all Floridians through lower energy use and conservation of natural resources.
A.J. Francel, COO of Alternative Construction Technologies, stated, “We are pleased with our results and to receive such a prominent endorsement of our product benefits from FPL, one of Americas most admired companies. We continue to align ourselves with the goals of government, major energy providers, consumers, insurance companies, distributors, builders, conservationists and policy makers. The combination of disaster resistant strength, energy efficiency, Class 1 fire rating and construction speed offers a desirable combination for consumers and builders alike.”
The BuildSmart(tm) Inspector commented, “Comfortable throughout!” Then added, “Innovative! These homes clearly demonstrate that through the thoughtful utilization of newer building materials, careful attention to overall design and component selection, even the most affordable of homes can achieve state-of-the-art energy efficiencies.”
