ZCS has developed a light steel keel modular housing system tailored specifically for the extreme climates of North American alpine regions. It aims to provide an efficient, durable, and sustainable high-quality residential solution for harsh environments including severe cold, heavy snow, strong winds, and permafrost. Faced with the long-term challenges of traditional construction in alpine regions, such as difficult construction, high energy consumption, and insufficient durability, ZCS integrates cutting-edge materials science, structural engineering, and intelligent technology based on 17 years of experience in the modular housing field.With high-strength galvanized light steel keels as the core structure, the system achieves the unity of excellent structural strength and transportation convenience through precisely calculated modular design.
Core Innovative Technologies to Overcome Extreme Challenges:
- Ultimate Thermal Insulation and Energy Efficiency: The system adopts a unique five-layer composite insulation system, integrating high-performance vacuum insulation panels and a continuous airtight layer. Its overall thermal performance far exceeds the local highest building standards, effectively resisting extreme low temperatures of -50°C and significantly reducing heating energy consumption.
- Excellent Structural Bearing Capacity: Optimized for heavy snow accumulation, the structure can withstand ultra-high snow loads. It is also equipped with an intelligent monitoring and snow melting system to prevent ice dam formation. Enhanced connection design ensures the stability of the house under strong winds.
- Comprehensive Fire Safety: All steels are coated with advanced fire-resistant coatings, and internal materials meet the highest fire rating, constructing multiple fire barriers from structure to interior decoration. - Adaptation to Complex Foundations: The supporting adjustable foundation system can effectively respond to ground deformation caused by the freeze-thaw cycle of permafrost, ensuring long-term stability of the building.
The factory prefabrication rate of the system exceeds 95%, which significantly reduces on-site construction time and waste. Unaffected by winter climates, it can quickly respond to housing needs in remote areas. Meanwhile, its design fully integrates green technologies such as solar energy integration and high-efficiency heat recovery ventilation, enhancing overall sustainability.
