MELBOURNE, Fla., Nov. 5, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Alternative Construction Technologies, Inc. (OTCBB:ACCY), a leader in the production of structural insulated panel systems (SIPs) used in the construction of government, residential, and commercial buildings, today announced the use of the ACTech Panel(r) System in the building of the World Headquarters for National Semi-Trailer Corporation in Orlando, Florida. The office structure features approximately 8,000 square feet with vaulted ceilings in its lobby and a multi-media board room. The World Headquarters will feature modular, green, and energy efficient design concepts. The project will be designed, permitted and constructed in less than 120 days.
Michael W. Hawkins, CEO and Chairman, stated "This project only serves to solidify ACCY's position within the marketplace and bolsters our position as the industry leader." According to McGraw Hill's Greening of Corporate America SmartMarket Report, 82% of the corporations in America will be building Green by 2009. "As increased energy cost, government regulations and tax incentives, and global influence continue to propel corporations to build green, ACCY will continue to benefit," Hawkins said. Mr. Hawkins further stated, "This project is, once again, proof positive that ACCY is immune from cyclical factors in the economy, but that our technology is in high demand and sought out by industry leaders nationwide." The National Semi-Trailer Corporation World Headquarters is scheduled for completion in January 2008.
Alternative Construction Technologies, Inc. (ACCY) possesses a unique and patented construction technology called the ACTech(r) Panel System that is used in the design and production of state of the art buildings in commercial, residential, industrial and modular building applications. Generically known as structural insulated panels (SIPs), ACCY's revolutionary and efficient construction solution utilizes an inherently better galvanized steel "skin" SIP system to complete energy efficient, stronger, safer, faster, and more economical structure than conventional wood and brick based building products. The patented ACTech(r) SIP system is environmentally-friendly and easier to construct with -- not only saving labor cost and cutting construction time, but also reducing recurring monthly heating and cooling energy bills by 30-50% and often more. Most importantly, the ACTech(r) panel system possesses disaster tolerant strength and has tested stronger than conventional concrete block or wood frame construction. In hurricane projectile tests, the ACTech(r) Panel System has proved to meet or surpass the most stringent wind, projectile and uplift codes in the nation levied by the 2006 Florida Building Code. The ACTech(r) Panel System offers builders and consumers many competitive and comparative advantages of use due to its wide range of attributes. As this new construction technology gains awareness or hurricane- and tornado-prone states establish new building codes and rebuild from recent weather disasters, ACCY believes its' products will be in greater demand.
