https://binishells.com/ - A smarter way of building - Binishells - A recognized leader in construction technology for over 60 years.Over 200 patents.1,600 Binishells in 23 countries. More domes built using Binishells technologies than any other system. A world-wide reputation for innovation and excellence. A suite of technologies designed around today’s needs and opportunities. We spend 62% of our waking hours inside our homes and more of our money on them than anything else. Should we look more critically at home design and construction and ask if we can do better? We think so.
We have developed a suite of disruptive construction technologies applicable to a wide range of projects. We license our technologies to qualified contractors and developers.
We transfer our technologies through local pilot projects. We also provide our licensees with a host of tools to facilitate implementation in their markets.
We then encourage our licensees to challenge us with their construction needs and with any improvements they may have to our Systems.
Sculptural homes which blend with and enhance the natural landscape may be built using our System A technology. Below are just a few examples of the infinite variety of shapes and sizes possible. Whether single or multi-story, these unique, sculptural volumes and spaces are designed to provide far greener, safer structures which heighten the senses and blend with their surroundings.
Note: Each System A project is custom designed to suit its program and site.
The international Energy Agency has cited energy efficiency criteria in construction codes as the most effective way of curbing carbon emissions1. Many feel that new and better ways to build structures which will be less taxing on the environment must be developed in response to the new environmental and societal challenges we are facing. The major factors reducing a Binishells’ environmental impact both in terms of life-cycle footprint and embodied energy are listed below. The video below summarizes the information following.
Thermal Bridging:
The primary reason for Binishells’ life-cycle energy efficiency relative to traditional construction is their thermal bridge-free building envelope. Heating and cooling drains known as thermal bridges result whenever materials with different resistance to heat flow are assembled in traditional building envelopes. Thermal bridges equate to significant losses in heating and cooling loads. This in turn places greater demands on the mechanical systems, expending greater amounts of resources to maintain constant temperatures. Heating and cooling represents the single biggest expenditure in energy for residences (amounting to a total of 48% of total energy used by households in the U.S.2). As is shown in the image below, testing by the International Energy Agency show that energy use may be reduced by 87% when thermal bridges are eliminated3.
