    ABOUT BLUSUN HOUSING TECHNOLOGIES

    BluSun Housing Technologies was a mere thought and concept founded backin 1998. The company was founded on the belief and principles that housingis a basic human right and not a luxury reserved for only those who couldafford it. Shortly thereafter we were asked by the attach of Gabon, Africa tobring a solution for affordable military housing. During this time we had beenexploring panel wall technology as a solution for affordable housing. Ourexploration revealed that the players in the industry made building systemsthat were so highly priced that the technology was out of reach for the peopleand countries who needed this technology the most.

    Thus we started our research and development with the goal of bringing thistechnology at unprecedented price and unsurpassed quality. Our quest leadus to explore panel design from every player in the industry. We did site visitsto a host of industry professionals. We studied building system designs as weresearched we learned about the integrity of the panel structure and generalbuilding structures and their current vulnerabilities. We learned what makesone panel design better or less structurally sound then another. We learnedabout all the positives and negatives and how these affect the structuralintegrity of a building structure.

    We eventually ventured into China with the goal of reducing the cost of thebuilding system, increasing production and quality. Year after year led bymultinational engineering team, the building system evolved in production,quality and structural integrity. We tested and built structures with the mostrenowned structural engineering teams and consultants from the ICC assuringus that the building system and the integrity of the panels were unsurpassed.We were confident that the panel produced was now the finest in the market-place and the integrity of the building structures could not be matched in priceand quality. This panel was named the PowerLitePanel (PLP) we proceeded

    to market this panel in the Asian marketplace and regions where affordablehousing was devoid. The PLP and family line of products were used in manydevelopments where affordable housing and reduction of construction wasnecessary. The technology was used in single-family homes, multi-levelfamily homes, hospitals, commercial buildings such as hotels, office buildingsand a variety of infrastructure applications.

    The company engaged in many government and non-government projects.Then came the 2007 financial crisis left many governments and developerswith the inability to pay their debts and constructions projects came to ascreeching halt. Blue Sun Housing was severely impacted by the economiccrisis, political instability and sadly closed its doors.

    The founders of the company have regrouped and re-evaluated the path ofthe company. Today the company has evolved to BluSun HousingTechnologies a more savvy company with more than 20 years of research anddevelopment and market experience. The company re-evaluated its pastmilestones and setbacks and now has reorganized its marketing strategiesand approach to the business of bringing affordable housing technologies tothe marketplace.

    Our over arching mission is to bring a new building and construction paradigmthat is in harmony with nature and is focused on safety, efficiency,sustainability and the preservation of our environment.

    Our primary goal is to address the issues surrounding the built environmentwith the integration and marketing of affordable, energy-efficient integratedbuilding solutions for national and international markets that are better, faster,and cheaper than conventional building materials.

    BUILDING SYSTEM SOLUTIONPowered by BSHT

    While we have evolved technologically, the construction of homes continues to use 40% of allthe material resources in the world. In fact, the construction of homes using hammers and nails

    produce 3-7 tons of wasted materials for an average home. The current constructionmethodology does not take into consideration the energy, labor and impact on the environment.BSHTs primary purpose is to eliminate the dependencies on our priceless resources. We willbring a more sustainable construction paradigm focusing on safety, efficiency, intelligentdesign, stronger and a more cost and environmentally efficient construction technology.Current construction methodology is outdated and has the highest level of fatality making itmore dangerous than mining and agriculture.

    Current building and construction methodologies are painfully slow and have not proveneffective in times of natural disasters. These outdated methodologies infringe on the recoveryprocess leaving people and communities displaced and unable to move forward in an efficientand timely manner to return back to normality. Our technology would get people back into

    homes and businesses. With this mindset BluSun Housing Technologies is now presenting toyou, the best-of-breed, best-priced, best-valued building system and building solution leadingthe change in the building industry throughout the world.

    BSHTPOWERLITEPANEL PRODUCT OVERVIEWPLP = PowerLitePanel (Structural Concrete Insulated Panel)

    TheBuilding System is a tried and proven construction process utilizing three dimensionalspace frame / concrete sandwich panel engineering technology. This construction process has

    evolved over the past 30 years.

    PLP are available in 4'W in any length. They can be adapted to any shape; external andinternal walls, floors, roofs, curves, arches, and cantilevered. The PLP is a prefabricated panel.This extremely strong structural product consists of a super-insulated core of rigid expandedpolystyrene sandwiched between two-engineered sheets of galvanized steel welded wire fabricmesh. To complete the panel form process a nine-gauge galvanized steel truss wire is piercedcompletely through the polystyrene core at offset angles for superior strength and welded toeach of the outer layer sheets of eleven-gauge steel welded wire fabric mesh. Once these threeelements are joined by PLPs state of the art manufacturing equipment, you end up with aTHREEDIMENSIONAL lightweight panel that is one of the strongest building materials you canfind.

    The PLP is a unique and effective way to easily create a strong insulated concrete building orwall. The PLP is used in every type of concrete structure because of the flexibility of design andease of use. Thousands of structure and walls have been built around the world with the PLP.Many of them use the panel for all elements of the structure including walls, floors, stairs andtrim. PLP related or similar technology is used for affordable housing all the way to multi-milliondollar housing. Residential, commercial, institutional multi-story all can be created easily withthis remarkable internationally used and accepted method.

    The strength of the PLP is enormous and is partially attributed to the truss wires, which arewelded to connect each side of mesh to make the panel. The insulation in the center of the

    panel is suspended on the truss wires and becomes a continuous thermal break when panelsare connected. The performance of the insulation thus is greater than the R-value ratingbecause of the thermal-mass effect of the concrete on each side of the panel. The monolithicstructure with PLP panel technology enables it to withstand earthquakes, hurricanes andtyphoons. Many PLP technology buildings have endured hurricanes with no water penetrationor damage, earthquakes with no cracking, and at the same time provided a comfortable andenergy-efficient environment for the residents. In the U. S. today there is a strong movementtowards concrete housing. The PLP is perfect for this market. It provides hard walls andperfectly placed insulation for maximum efficiency. Stayin-place forms today use polystyreneas molds for concrete and end up with soft exteriors and exteriors which have to be hardened.In the process, they lose the thermal mass effect necessary for energy efficiency. Unlikeconcrete block, the PLP technology panel provides the insulation and reinforcement strength to

    concrete, which makes it acceptable for residential or commercial construction.

    Since the introduction of the PowerLitePanel (PLP) for construction of walls, several new useshave emerged for the panel. The re-evolution in construction technology has started and thePLP is leading the way in speed, price, and quality.

    The construction system is a tried and proven construction process utilizing dimensionalstructural concrete insulated sandwich panel engineering technology. This construction processhas evolved over the past 30 years. The core foundation of the system is a welded wire threedimensional space frame manufactured in variable wire gauges with insulating foam located in

    the middle of the panel. The panels are manufactured in four-foot widths and specific lengthsas required for the application. Panel thickness is also variable to accommodate insulationrequirements, load bearing capacities, and architectural design. The wire/foam panels areinstalled at the project site to create load bearing walls, floors, and roofs as designed for thestructure, then coated with 1 1/4 -5 of2000 PSI Portland cement plaster or other materials.The finished product is a monolithic structure with no cold joints. This can be achieved by usinga plaster gun, hand-troweled application, shotcrete, or gunite, or a variety of environmentallyfriendly cemeticious skins.

    equipment to manufacture this type of panels, the panels are assembled on-site andthen cement plaster is applied to create a finished wall.

    Panel Core Options

    EI-PLP technology is capable of utilizing many different core materials specifically tailored tothe end use of the product. For instance, exterior walls of homes may use insulatingpolyurethane foam in the core of the panel, while interior walls would use low-density foam orother optional void core.

    Typical panel core include:

    High Insulation wet foam urethane (R value = 6.8/inch) Medium insulation closed cell styrene (R value = 4/inch) Low insulation / void EPS or low density urethane Additional economical void cores Zero toxicity

    High Wind Areas and Hurricanes:

    Products made with PowerLitePanel (PLP) technology has continuously excelled in rigoroustests given by Mother Nature. For the last ten years, numerous homes have been constructedwith the PLP technology on the East Coast, Caribbean and Gulf areas of Mexico and theUnited States. The homes were built to withstand hurricane force winds. In Laboratory testing,the EI-PLP technology has been tested and will withstand wind loads of 226 miles per hour.Laboratory testing results available upon request. In the southwestern area of the UnitedStates, a two-story research complex made with comparable BSHT-PLP technology was jointlyfunded by the National Science Foundation, Southern California Edison, Inc., and the

    University of California withstood California's worst earthquake in forty years was struck twice a(6.5) and (6.9) Richter Scale. According to Dr. Philippe Cohen who resides at the site in theMojave Desert, the area at one point was subjected to a continuous shake lasting over a fullminute. The structure went through the quakes with zero structural effects.

    Complete (Earthquake) structural testing report from certified engineering firm available onabove upon request.

    Fire Resistant

    Fire Resistant BSHT-PLP technology is an ideal building product for structures in dry adverse

    climates where fire is always a constant threat. Areas which are heavily forested, high grassand brush, and other areas in Southern California during Santa Ana Wind Conditions, and othersimilar areas where structures may be prone to fires. We have had numerous fires in SouthernCalifornia during Santa Ana Wind Conditions. A structure built with BSHT-PLP technology isnoncombustible and has a minimum 1.5-hour fire rating and a higher rating can easily beattained. Structures built with BSHT-PLP technology are virtually fire resistant.

    What is the fire rating of BSHT-PLPtechnology?

  • 8/12/2019 BluSunHousingTech Intro

    13/26

    BSHT-PLP technology has the following fire-resistance ratings, (Ratings are valid for fireexposure from either side) Fire-rating is derived from the wire mesh gauge in combination withconcrete thickness. See chart below. The insulation core Type I polystyrene foamdemonstrated a flame-spread index of 25 or less and a smoke developed rating of 450 or lesswhen tested in accordance with ASTM - E84.The modified polystyrene core does not containozone-damaging chlorofluorocarbons (CFC's) in the manufacturing process or products.

    2.5" EXP-Core with 1.50" Shotcrete each side = 1.5 Hours2.5" EXP-Core with 2.00" Shotcrete each side = 2.0 Hours2.5" EXP-Core with 3.1/8" Shotcrete each side = 4.0 Hours

    The fire rating increases with greater quantities of cement applied to each side.Polystyrene core will not burn.

    What are the Load Bearing Capabilities of BSHT-PLPtechnology?

    The load bearing weights that a typical BSHT-PLP Panel wall will support is amazing. The

    typical wood frame and metal frame wall cannot compare to EIPLP technology Panel strength.A typical BSHT-PLP technology Panel with 2.5" polystyrene core using eleven-gauge wire, 8' inheight has been tested at a structural load of over 78,000lbs.

    What is the wind load capacity of BSHT-PLP technology?

    The brief synopsis, which follows, is from the test results report dated 1994 fromDade County, Miami Florida pertaining to the wind load capacity of a product with comparableEI-PLP technology. Three typical EI-PLP technology panels 4' wide and 10' high with 1 1/2" ofshotcrete on each face were installed vertically, side-by-side, on a concrete slab, severalinches in front of a rigid backup wall with space between the panels and the backup wall. The

    panels were tested per static-wind load test (PA202-94 manner of testing). Summary: Thespecimens tested herein were fully tested in accordance with the Dade County Building CodeCompliance Office Protocols PA 201-94,PA 202-94 and PA 203-94. No failures occurred to thespecimens, nor their fastenings, nor anchorage. The products described in this report complywith SFBC Sections 2309 and 2315. The panels tested at 126 lbs per Sq. Ft. pressure, whichrepresents over 225mph-wind factor.

    Energy Savings:

    Save 50% to 80% of heating and cooling costs. Electrical and plumbing is though the interiorside of the PLP-panel, so there are fewer wall penetrations, which keeps thermal loss at a

    minimum. Reduces size and cost of HVAC System.

    How are Various Shotcrete or Cements Applied to the BSHT-PLPpanels?

    The shotcrete or greencrete or environmentally friendly concrete product is applied by machineapplication on both sides of the panel. This part of the process is very specialized.

    We recommend a licensed Gunnite or Stucco Contractor or a combination of both Contractorsfor this part of the operation depending upon the desired finish. For architects with a specialfinish in mind we would like to mention that the architectural molds or metal trim could beincorporated into your design to achieve the desired finish.

    The versatility of numerous types of plaster finishes or stucco finishes will work on interiorand/or exterior walls. Other products that may be applied are:

    Brick Mini-BrickStone Stone Facing

    Tile

    In developing countries with lower technology available -masonry laborers and less skilledlaborers can erect and finish the concrete skin of the structures with traditionally appliedtechniques.

    Is the Polystyrene Waterproof? Is the Foam Waterproof?The polystyrene and the foam are one in the same. The polystyrene core is water-resistant.The ASTM test proved maximum water absorption or 2.5 % for 1lb density. E.P.S. is an inert,organic material. Polystyrene provides no nutritive value to plants, animals, or microorganisms.The polystyrene will not rot and is highly resistant to mildew. Aging has no effect upon theperformance of the polystyrene E.P.S. is able to withstand the abuse of temperature cycling

    180 degrees assuring long term performance. It is also termite proof.
