| New - PC2000
Clean, Lean and Green! Our PC2000 scores A+ for sustainability and efficiency.
Our PC2000 design technology has become the “peace of mind” classroom solution of choice, one that answers some of the critical environmental, quality and maintenance challenges faced by School Boards today. This innovative engineering signals a transformation towards greener, more sustainable design standards in Portable Classrooms.
It’s an undeniable fact that these temporary learning facilities are a necessary and integral part of a School’s ability to effectively manage changing demographics, so providing healthy, efficient and more environmentally responsible learning environments for students and staff with a much longer “shelf life” are the cornerstones of our design principles.
The PC2000 is really only a “portable classroom” by function. The building science used to design and construct it truly equals or even exceeds that found in conventional construction standards. So, if you have concerns about your temporary classroom environments, look for the portable classroom that leads the industry with better life cycle performance and environmental sensitivity. Ask about the PC2000.
Clean
At NRB, we understand that a healthier learning environment is a safer and more productive learning environment. Resistance to moisture intrusion and mold contamination are key design principles of the PC2000. From structure to finishes, we remove about 90% of the cellulose materials from the building, so in the event moisture becomes present over time through inadequate maintenance, spills, open windows, building damage or even water melting off snow boots, there is little nutrient base on which mold can develop and grow. This, combined with optimal ventilation and materials with low to no VOC’s, work together for better indoor air quality.
Lean
The unique design features of the PC2000 building envelope consider everything from improved thermal protection, to reduced maintenance requirements. Our attention to construction and design detail combined with your selection of just the right options for you, mean these classrooms can last longer, run more efficiently and take a smaller bite out of tight maintenance budgets!
Green
Well before “green” became the mantra for construction design practices that it is today, NRB was pioneering the PC2000 design technology. Our classrooms are built using recycled steel, the efficient HVAC units can be further enhanced with a variety of energy management systems and our manufacturing practice allows us better control over processes and other important areas, like recycling and waste management. Plus, the fact that the entire building can be relocated, has 100% reuse, and is typically installed with almost zero site disturbance, gives it an A+ for environmental sensitivity.
This superior PC2000 building envelope technology developed by NRB, was also selected for use by ARC, our Architectural partner in the design and construction of SmartSpace, a LEED level Classroom built for the Carroll School in Lincoln, MA. For more information, click here.
