A healthy home for the whole family
At Modulex, we ensure traces of
contaminants (formaldehyde) in our homes are
kept to a minimum and our wood moisture
content is never higher than 17%. We only
use dry lumber for all our structural
elements, including roof trusses. All
Modulex wall systems have been tested and
approved by Quebec Energy Efficiency Agency
engineers.
HRV: A Mechanically Controlled System
for Maximum Comfort
Heat recovery ventilation systems (HRV)
boost the efficiency of the Modulex POLAR
THERMO-PLUS system. By mechanically
controlling the air entering and leaving
your home, you can recover 60% of the heat
inside. Save money and conserve energy, as
the system makes your home a healthier
environment, removing exhausted stale air
and replacing it with fresh outdoor air.
When you purchase your home, you will
receive an exclusive Modulex instructional
DVD explaining the energy efficiency
features that come with your home.
Did you know...?
The cellular structure of wood makes it a
natural thermal insulator. It insulates ten
times more than concrete and 400 times more
than steel. Used as a construction material,
wood helps keep homes warm and cozy.
Eco-management
Modulex encourages ecologically responsible
management of energy, water, and waste
throughout your home’s construction. All our
homes are Novoclimat-certified for Quebec and
Super-E certified for British markets and
Canadian markets.
It pays to be environmentally friendly!
Help protect the environment and save at
least 25% on heating and electricity costs each
year with Novoclimat and Super-E programs.
Did you know...?
Wood is one of the few renewable natural
construction materials. It is not radioactive
and does not give off harmful gases, allergenic
dust, or static electricity. Wood also helps
reduce excess greenhouses gases by capturing
carbon.
Novoclimat program: Benefits for every
budget
- Warm and comfortable flooring: From the
basement to the attic, Modulex uses
insulation that surpasses industry standards
to deliver superior energy efficiency at a
lower cost.
- No unpleasant drafts: Wall and roof
construction techniques eliminate drafts and
protect the home against humidity.
- Fresher air indoors: Much more than an
air exchanger, the heat recovery and
ventilation system (HRV) exhausts unpleasant
odors, pollutants, excess humidity, and
contaminants from your home, replacing them
with fresh air and removes window
condensation.
- High performance heating: Modulex will
fit your home with high-efficiency devices
to ensure maximum comfort, whether you heat
with electricity, natural gas, or oil.
- Watertight windows and doors: Modulex
only uses energy efficient windows and
doors.
- The wall systems for our homes have all
been inspected, tested, and approved by the
government.
Modulex can adapt to building code
standards for your city, region, or
country.They can also accomodate any special
requests from the architects or engineers
that you work with.
We encourage environmentally friendly
projects that meet your needs while always
keeping those of future generations in mind:
- As often as possible and depending
on availability, Modulex uses natural
and recycled construction materials and
products with minimal environmental
impact.
- Modulex has developed an in-house
traceability system for the wood it
uses, ensuring that it comes from
managed forests that respect
environmental standards.
- Modulex can construct homes using
wood from Forest Stewardship Council-(FSC)
certified forests or other environmental
certification programs.
Modulex carefully selects the healthiest
and safest materials, including insulating
and soundproofing panels made from recycled
cardboard fibers and kiln dried structural
lumber. Bracing panels for the floors,
walls, and roof are made out of woodchips
from fast-growing trees that are less dense
and regenerate more quickly. Homes built
with exterior bracing panels made from
extruded polystyrene are made out of 35%
recycled materials.
