Future-Forward Materials Help Reduce Embodied Carbon

October 21, 2022

For the developed world to advance its carbon reduction goals, building construction norms must be confronted and reimagined. That’s because the building industry is responsible for more than 35% of global annual emissions due to embodied carbon from construction. Houses are still largely built using technologies, materials, and methods from 40+ years ago, and the need for homes and residential buildings is higher than ever. The bottom line is that we cannot stop building as a quick fix to lower emissions. The solution? Offsite manufacturing, where homes and other structures are built on a production line in a factory using innovative new techniques and materials to create substantial carbon savings in both embodied and operational carbon emissions.

Modular Building and Decarbonizing the Construction Process

August 12, 2022

The path to enduring sustainability and net-zero emissions is full of challenges. Reducing carbon emissions and reaching net-zero will require a significant paradigm shift in building design, supply chain management, and manufacturing. S2A Modular is pioneering that transition in construction using innovative building materials, highly efficient modular structures, and green principles in a product-based approach.

According to Mckinsey & Company, the construction ecosystem accounts for approximately 25% of global greenhouse gas emissions. The main offenders are raw-material processing for buildings and infrastructure – the most significant being energy-intensive cement and steel production – closely followed by building usage, occupation, operations and inefficiencies like poor insulation.

The Future of Smart Communities – iLamp Intelligent Light Poles – Available Through S2A Modular

May 25, 2022

S2A levels up its smart-connected home tech for luxury residences and commercial buildings with iLamp, the next-generation smart streetlight from Conflow Power Group. The solar-powered iLamp is packed with security, charging, communications features and uses surplus energy to generate revenue for S2A Modular homeowners, businesses and planned developments.

Imagine a solar-powered street lamp that generates enough power to light your street and charge your e-bike or scooter. It can use its onboard power generation to run systems that track severe weather, assist emergency response, enable Wi-Fi and other wireless communications – a wide variety of technologies that can work both on and off the grid. What began as a necessary but dull part of municipal infrastructure, the streetlight is becoming an exciting piece of tech that could improve community well-being and help people feel safer.
