Front view of the modern, glass-walled perrinepod prefabricated, modular home.
Custom-built prefabricated homes, such as the modernist perrinepod, encourage the green value that houses should be nothing more or less than their inhabitants need. By using less space and materials, prefab homes preserve natural resources, while leaving the smallest of footprints. They are usually manufactured in a way that leaves a smaller ecological footprint than conventional on-site construction.

View of the Vail Grant House, a highly innovative, angular prefabricated house.
The eye-catching, quirky Vail Grant House from Pugh + Scarpa Architects is constructed from prefabricated structural concrete insulating panels (SCIPS) made by Green Sandwich Technologies. All panels are 60% recycled material, including wire mesh made from recycled auto parts and fly ash, a byproduct of coal burning.

Gorgeous views through the large windows of the Vail Grant House prefabricated, green home.
The Vail Grant House contains several elements that maximize energy performance. SCIPs (structural concrete insulating panels), for instance, create an average insulation value of R-40, while solar panels produce enough energy to power the entire house. Air conditioning is supplied naturally by pipes that draw cool air from the hillside. In colder weather, large windows allow the sun to heat interior concrete slabs, creating natural convection currents.
