Eco-Friendly Building: Pasedena Eco House


The components and design elements of the Pasedena Eco House were selected based on performance, attractiveness, quality, service and commitment to eco-friendly building. The house is built of Structural Concrete Insulated Panels (SCIP) panels, a green composite building technique that allows for partial prefabrication and custom design – thus reducing construction costs and time while allowing for unique specifications to be called out. The entire building system is made of recycled materials with a concrete layer added. The concrete technology is advancing towards new eco binders (geo polymers) that replace the Portland cement.
