Innovative Aluminum/SIP Framing: Sustainable Design with the MHS Building System

摘要

The practice of sustainable architectural design attempts to reduce the collective environmental impact during the production of building components, during the construction process and during the life cycle of the building.rnThe Modular Housing System from Unique Structural Systems, LLC is a pre-engineered system using a variety of aluminum extrusions for post and beam framing connected by a patented, concealed bolt-and-clamp component. This is supplemented by a bolt-in-place diagonal corner brace for multi-story structures usually concealed within wall panels. The MHS sheathing system uses either Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs) or a combination of other panel materials which slide into the channels of the framing members.
