In the early morning on October 19th, Eco Building Products gathered construction professionals, firemen, and media personnel at Oceanside’s Fire Training Center to witness a controlled burn of two structures, one with raw lumber and one with Eco Red ShieldTM protection, to demonstrate the fire inhibition

capabilities of Eco’s flagship product.The results were phenomenal. Each fire began with small

kindling next to a window drape to simulate an outlet fire. Within 90 seconds, the plywood walls of both structures had caught fire and in less than three minutes from initial ignition, the drapes were completely engulfed. However, the structure with Eco Red ShieldTM quickly stalled the flames, eventually extinguishing them completely and showing only minimal charring to some of the wall panels. In contrast, the raw lumber structure was completely in flames within five minutes, experiencing roof failure just three minutes later and total structural failure at eleven minutes into the burn.

Failure analysis of both structures revealed extremely interesting results. The raw structure burned as expected. The drapery ignited accelerating the flames up the wall and into the attic. Once the flames reached the attic the roof trusses and roof sheeting propagated the fire throughout the entire structure leading to total failure. In contrast the Eco Red Shield treated building indicated charring of the roof trusses and roof sheeting from the drapery flames; however no ignition was

Battalion Chief Terry Collis of the Oceanside Fire Department was on site during the demonstration, and acknowledged that one of firemen’s biggest fears is floor and roof failure while fighting fires. The more time they have to vent the roof and rescue fire victims, the more lives can be saved.

The iconic Eco Red ShieldTM lumber standing largely undamaged next to a smoldering pile of debris was a vivid demonstration of the products’ ‘Class A’ fire rating, which could prevent a full home fire or at least drastically improve the structural integrity of a home while severely reducing the smoke index, allowing occupants to escape and providing a safer environment for emergency responders.

Eco Building Products has been ramping up production of its proprietary Eco Red ShieldTM lumber line in anticipation of entering the consumer market, and has strong momentum with a recent QAI certification, ICC evaluation report, and GREENGUARD® certification, making it the first environmentally-friendly lumber product to be approved for all-home construction, providing protection from mold, wood rot, termite

Eco Building Products’ President and CEO Steve Conboy will join Suzanne on the show to help uncover often harmful and sometimes deadly elements in typical homes. Both Conboy and Somers have lost homes to fire, and both are under doctor supervision following allergic reactions to home mold infestations – two rampant problems in America that Eco products seek to eradicate.

“Lumber is stored outside on most jobsites,” says Conboy, “and when it’s brought into a warm home, mold is almost inevitable. In the dark, moist environments inside walls, these mold colonies can grow rapidly, birthing deadly micro-toxins that move through the home via ventilation, heating and cooling systems.” Over 25 million Americans suffer

Ritter graduated from Carlsbad High School in ’75, and joined the Navy soon after to experience the world and give back to his country. He achieved both in his 26-year long career - his tours as a medical officer led him to every major body of water on the planet, more than twenty different countries, and every continent but two (Africa, which he saw from the coast, and Antarctica), all the while treating hundreds of other service men women as a physician, counselor, and friend.

Retiring from the Navy in 2001 brought a host of new challenges to this experienced Navy man, including helping raise two children, one of whom was born while away at sea. The stresses of military life had cost him a marriage and had left him exhausted from the field of medicine, leading Ritter to join

back with the family business – the Carlsbad Camera Store – run by his father and younger brother. After the tourist drop off post 9/11, the camera industry saw a major decline, and Ritter was soon working for months without pay to help keep the shop afloat. Eventually it went under, and Ritter was again searching for work. Years of partial employment left Ritter without the funds to properly upkeep his home, which was suffering from termite damage, roof leakage, and other problems.

That’s when a neighbor connected Ritter to Eco President

treatments against wood-rot decay and termite protection. For decades all wood framing members have been subject to traditional pressure treating methodologies using Disodium Octaborate Tetrahydrate (DOT), with exposure limitations to weathering and structural strength. The Company’s Hawaiian approval elevates Eco Red Shield protection to be on par with traditional treatments for wood-rot decay and Formosan termite protection. Additionally Eco Red ShieldTM offers class “A” fire protection (a 1 hour rating for solid sawn lumber), an exposure

to the elements rating of AWPA UC3, GREENGUARD Children & SchoolsSM approval, and mold protection for the entire structure. Eco Red ShieldTM coatings being a topically approved process will not degrade structural strength allowing treatment of all engineered wood products and our polymer additives keep the coating solids from washing out of the substrate, which is a major concern due to the amount of rain in the region.

Eco is ready to distribute Eco Red ShieldTM into the Hawaiian market from its approved manufacturing facility located in Salem, Oregon. The majority of the lumber shipped into the Hawaiian Islands originates from the Pacific Northwestern coast of the United States. Application of Eco Red ShieldTM prior to shipment will provide protection from mold and weathering during the ocean freight process, providing the consumer with a fully protected product from the mills at lower costs.

“The recognition of Eco Red Shield coatings by Hawaiian Building Officials is another triumph in creating the paradigm shift in the industry,” says Eco President and CEO Steve Conboy. “Being recognized for use in Hawaii will open up several international markets for the use of Eco Red ShieldTM.

Hurricane Sandy Leaves Water Damage, Mold Danger in Wake Thousands of homeowners along the East Coast face the painful task of rebuilding flooded homes

Hurricane Sandy, one of the most powerful storm systems to hit the United States in recent memory, has left a trail of destruction and tragedy in over twenty states totaling more than $20 billion in damages. More than 5 million people were left without power as water levels rose and flooded energy stations and high winds toppled power lines up and down the coast.

A major obstacle on the road to recovery will be the water damage to homes, offices, and other buildings, as mold prevention is vital to restoring structures to full use.

When flooding occurs, most external components including drywall and carpeting must be completely removed and discarded. Next, the moisture levels of the remaining structural lumber must be brought down below 12 percent before being reclosed, and any mold growth neutralized.

Any surfaces exposed to excess moisture should be cleaned thoroughly with hot water and detergent or, in severe cases, a safe amount of bleach and water. The EPA and CDC recommend high ventilation for the days during and following cleanup to help reduce indoor moisture levels.

If mold growth is not addressed quickly, storm damage may end up requiring a total renovation, structural as well as external

Eco Building Products has mobilized to help educate homeowners who are being forced to rebuild after the devastating storm about the benefits of Eco Red ShieldTM, which prevents mold and other moisture related problems including wood rot and termites in the wood structure. As meteorologists predict more severe storms in the foreseeable future, homeowners who rebuild with Eco Red ShieldTM can potentially save themselves the burden of another costly full rebuild, should tragedy strike again in the decades to come.

Much of the dramatic devastation seen in the days following Hurricane Sandy’s landfall on the eastern seaboard was caused not by water, but by fire and wind.

Many homes and other buildings collapsed under the forces from high wind loads. While Hurricane Sandy brought some unprecedented weather to many states, most municipalities have stringent building codes mean to withstand even hurricane

like conditions. Why, then, did so many buildings fail? One reason is undoubtedly termite damage. Termite infestation is at record numbers throughout the United States, and even in homes where problems aren’t pronounced, even a small percentage of compromise in wood fibers equates to disturbing drops in the integrity and performance of structural lumber. Termite damage is the silent perpetrator behind many structural failures. Many homes on the East Coast have basements that were completely submerged when the storm surge hit and the rain fell, exacerbating mold problems.

Dozens of homes were lost to fires that began when electrical appliances, power lines, and other devices failed. These fires spread quickly between housing blocks, whipped by high winds and eventually leveling entire neighborhoods. In a storm characterized by excess rain, many homeowners don’t consider the potential for fire to be a real threat. Left unattended, however, many properties are prone to the kinds of accidents that led to so many homes being lost.

Eco Red ShieldTM is an effective solution to both of these costly elements to storm situations. With guaranteed termite

protection, Eco Red ShieldTM protects wood fiber from insect damage, meaning building code structural values stay optimal throughout a major weather event, helping homes survive high winds and torrential rain. Eco Red ShieldTM is also QAI certified and Class A fire rated, significantly reducing the spread of flames and drastically lowering the smoke index of fires. In real-world tests, Eco Red ShieldTM has also been shown to even extinguish fires as the flames interact with the coating’s proprietary fire protection. In chain reaction burns like those seen during Hurricane Sandy, stopping fires in their tracks could save many homes.

In addition to protecting from mold-related problems resulting from water damage, Eco Red ShieldTM is ideal for helping combat other life-threatening issues related to extreme weather events. For builders on the East Coast, and anywhere Mother Nature shows her aggressive side, Eco Red ShieldTM is the clear choice for safer homes and buildings.

INDOOR MOLD – A SILENT, GROWING PROBLEMMOLD REMEDIATION CLAIMS ARE RISING, YET MANY RESIDENTS ARE UNAWARE OF THE DANGERS FROM MOLD-RELATED MICRO TOXINS

Mold are fungi that can be found both indoors and outdoors. There are hundreds of thousands of types of molds all around the world, most growing in warm, damp conditions. Mold spreads by producing spores, which float through the air and attach to surfaces friendly to growth.

In the construction industry, mold is problematic because often mold colonies are present in the lumber long before any pieces go up for structural support. This means that deep within finished wall cavities, framing lumber often has mold growth, thriving in the humid darkness between drywall. These spores can travel through the home via ventilation, as well as heating and cooling ducts.

Today, untreated lumber has higher moisture content than at any time in history, due to changes in foresting and logging techniques that harvest younger, fast-growth timber. Graded lumber is also often improperly stored outdoors or without regard to humidity, allowing for unchecked mold growth.

Once indoors, this timber can cause an array of health problems. More than 25 million Americans suffer from some sort of allergic reaction to mold-related spores and toxins, and in some cases these reactions can be deadly. It remains unclear exactly how many fatalities or serious hospital cases can be directly traced back to home mold infestations, but concern for indoor toxicity levels are growing.

In 2004, the Institute of Medicine linked indoor exposure to mold with respiratory problems, as well as heightened asthma symptoms, in both adults and children. For those with particular mold allergies, the health effects can be more severe, ranging from fever to shortness of breath to mold infections within the lungs.

One way to help prevent indoor mold problems is to control humidity levels. Always keep home humidity below 50 percent, whether through dehumidifiers or air conditioning systems. Adequate ventilation is also important, as well as proper cleaning of bathrooms, kitchens, and other areas where water is present. Water damage to indoor areas should be cleaned immediately and thoroughly dried out, with carpets and upholstery that have been soaked removed.

Coverage: The calculated coverage rate for Eco Disaster Break™ on a flat, non-porous surface is: 126 sq. ft per gallon (applied @ 13 wet mils = 7 dry film thickness per coat.) Rate per gallon varies depending upon porosity, texture, condition of the surface and the mil thickness.

Uses:Rough, highly textured surfaces require more material than flat or smooth surfaces. Eco Disaster Break™ can be used over various interior or exterior surfaces including: walls, ceilings, trim, flat Transite, rough, porous, textured or irregular surfaces, cementitious surfaces, stucco, wood siding, shingle siding, window frames, windowsills & porch walls, wood overhangs, porch ceilings, wood trim & posts.

Drying Time:Under normal drying conditions, Eco Disaster Break™ will develop full strength and chemical resistance properties 7 to 10 days following application. The circulation of air helps water-based materials to dry more rapidly. Follow all applicable state and/or federal OSHA Guidelines.

Precautions:To prevent damage to the coatings when removing all plastic and masking tape, use a utility knife to first cut at coating edges. Where caulking is required to produce a smooth surface and/or to seal around windows, doors and seams, use compatible caulk (trowelable grade or in tubes). Patch damaged areas as needed. Allow to dry before applying the topcoat.

Application:Apply one or two coats of Eco Disaster Break™ over all the dry primed surfaces. Apply at a coverage rate of 126 square feet per gallon per coat (13 wet mils). This will produce 7 dry mils per coat. Allow to dry before applying second coat and let the system dry overnight before removing tape. Flood Break™ dries to form a matte finish surface.

Clean-up:Use soapy water while coatings are still wet and wipe clean.

PREFAB HOUSING – SMART, STYLISH, AND SUSTAINABLEModular homes are making a comeback as consumers look to cut costs and go for the green

The green movement has breathed new life into many overlooked and undervalued markets in the last decade. The prefabricated housing industry is one such example of dramatically shifting consumer demand, as the ‘less is more’ mantra becomes increasingly ubiquitous.

The industry has battled against stereotypes and image barriers for decades – many Western countries, especially the United States, view manufactured homes with a kind of cultural disdain, as their homogenized look and cost-cutting shortcuts in production made them a staple of low-brow, penny-counting suburbanites.



http://www.ecob.net

But all of that is changing quickly. An influx of stylish, eco-minded architects and designers into the field of prefabricated homes has brought a sense of renewal and chic to the sector, opening the door for a new breed of would-be homeowners and challenging the traditional model of urban and rural development. Costs are coming down, sustainability is on the rise, and the industry may finally be coming into its golden age.

The prefab genre includes modular, panelized, and manufactured homes, all of which first came onto the scene most notably after WWII, as millions of young soldiers returned from the theaters to move out into the suburbs and begin building a family life. Manufactured homes offered a cheap and time-saving alternative to tract housing. The trade-off in quality and design soon led to a decline in popularity, however, and the industry leveled off.

At least two factors have reinvigorated the prefab housing industry in recent years, however. The recession of 2008 and collapse of the housing market has emboldened potential

homeowners to step outside the moors of traditional tract housing, whether for cost-savings or to avoid a turbulent market. More prominently, though, the turn towards sustainability and environmental consciousness has done the most to highlight the strengths and potential of prefab.

Moving construction to an indoor factory does three things – first, it dramatically cuts costs. Standardizing and pooling construction efforts allows for the best deals in materials and labor. Second, it cuts down on material waste. In tract housing projects, up to 30 percent of stick built home material goes unused. The increased efficiency in a factory setting allows for

Features: Prefab Housing

environmentally friendly materials to be used while remaining cost effective, as precision and quantities increase. Finally, as construction is unhampered by weather or other environmental concerns, building times are much lower and delays, weather or material related, are avoided altogether.

The prefab housing market is projected to move over 750,000 units by 2015, and many new companies are popping up to meet the demand. Paired with Eco Building products, this industry has the potential to sizably affect sustainability within residential construction as well as tackle problems with mold and VOC’s from working with raw lumber.
