bCube Shelter Gone Green, Modular, and Prefab
I came across this on youtube. Its a prefab structure called the bCube. The video shows some concept drawings of the prefab "blocs", which look great and stack together nicely. Each of the units are stacked on top of each other, connected by a staircase topped off with a green roof. They claim to be 100% green, lowest carbon dioxide emission, lowest carbon footprint and lowest energy consumption...but I am not sure what they are comparing to. Another video showcasing the bCube placed their starting price at $10,000. I will keep you posted if I find a website or other info.


my google search turned up your interesting site; I did a little digging and found that it appears to be from the Philippines,

Lloyd,
Thanks for the tip! I saw the Alibaba site when I was searching for info but I wasn't quite sure that the two were related. Nice job though. For those of you who want to see it, go to http://www.alibaba.com/company/10582303.html

Hi!
I'm a great fan of B³! [bCUBE]

Guys, for your convenience, try visiting this wonderful link about this revolutionary shelter technology: www.freewebs.com/prefab
Maybe it's 100% green since it maximizes the utilization of Steel- the most recycled building material in the world. Plus, prefabs, to those who are into it, are 'green' in a lot of ways especially on its production and assembly.
It's the first 3-level Bloc in the market; truly reduces "carbon footprint".
I love watching their other videos: http://www.freewebs.com/prefab/videos.htm
