Funke North America Ltd. Of Ontario, Canada is joining the series FROM the GROUND UP , bringing into the design considerations the GOLPLA erosion control and grass reinforcement system, a rigid, high quality plastic grass reinforcement and erosion control system designed to perpetuate the growth of grass under conditions of intensive vehicular or pedestrian traffic.

It is made from 100% recycled plastics and is 100% recyclable.

A patented fully interlocking system ensures even support of loads in excess of 10 tons per square foot, and is not affected by extremes of temperature, is UV stable, and non-toxic.

It can also be used as a basework for gravel and stone retention and comes in a range of colors, including Rustic, Dark Grey, Light Grey, Buff, or Black.

Also for consideration is the D-Raintank, a completely recyclable modular underground storage chamber for management of rainwater, offering at source drainage technology.

The movement to underground stormwater management offers more efficient land development, preservation of greenspace, groundwater recharge, and reclamation of water for future use.

Committed to environmentally sustainable land development, Funke offers innovation in erosion and stormwater management.

Quietside Corporation is joining the series FROM the GROUND UP, bringing Hydronic Radiant Floor Heating Systems into the design process along with their QVM 9, an Energy Star approved Dual Purpose Hydronic Heat System for heating and DHW usage.

The QVM 9 unit is available in 3 capacities and has a 90% AFUE efficiency level.

It features sealed combustion and venting in Schedule 40 PVC or ABS.

Domestic Hot Water is provided on demand and will have priority over the heating demand until the call for DHW has completed.

The QSDHS system is available in 20, 50, and 80 gallon sizes, and consists of a tank, pump, and mixing valve.

This system is designed for use with the Quietside QVM9 DPHS and provides additional Domestic Hot Water production so that the unit can service Jacuzzi tubs and other high water usage devices, which require a greater flow rate than the QVM9 is capable of providing as a standalone device.

The tanks are manufactured from heavy gauge steel, and porcelain lined for a long life, and insulated with 2 inch non CFC blown foam with a powder coated sheet metal outer skin. Dual anode rods and an aquastat are factory installed, with a pressure relief valve supplied loose for field installation.

A Taco 008 Bronze pump with integral flow check is supplied loose for field installation to circulate water from the tank to the DHW inlet of the QVM9. Pump operation is controlled by the tank aquastat.

FastFlo Heaters are one of the most durable and reliable spa heaters on the market with a 5-Year Unconditional Warranty and High-flow design which prohibits harmful mineral build-up.

Constructed of stainless steel, no-weld construction for longer life, large surface area and low density lowers heat costs.

Variable output provides optimal heat recovery and lower energy consumption.

D1 Spas are 100% polyurethane foam insulated with closed-cell urethane, like commercial freezers, to minimize heat loss and ensure the lowest energy costs possible.

Multi-density provides added structural integrity encapsulates plumbing to prevent leaks, absorbs equipment noise for quietest operation, and is an E.P.A compliant material.

The patented system of filters, purifies the spa water and uses less electricity than a 100-watt light bulb. 84% of energy used is returned as heat.

A low-consumption circulation pump of durable components for longer life offers virtually silent operation.

The architectural teams designing the prototype 2 bedroom, 2 bath, energy efficient homes will be utilizing the passive power of solar to further the energy efficiency of these well designed, self contained spas.

D1 UltraLife Spa shells are acrylic and require almost no maintenance.

Jets are adjustable for water volume, air flow and jet pressure.Raised bumps apply acupressure.

Rastra Building systems of Scottsdale Arizona,

Is joining in the series: " From the Ground Up"- creating Environmentally Friendly, Energy Self Reliant Homes and Living Systems,

Bringing into the architectural design their " Green", Environmentally Correct - Rastra Block.

Rastra Block is a recycled cementitious foam block with open cores that are stacked, grouted with concrete, and reinforced with rebar, an Earth Friendly Concrete form system which originated 30 years ago in Austria, made of a material called Thastryron, Thermal acoustic Styrofoam concrete. <>

It is 85% recycled post consumer polystyrene waste, Styrofoam, which does not naturally recycle for more than two million years.

This waste material, currently filling our dumps is being chopped and mixed with a cementitious binder to create instead a rebar reinforced concrete wall construction system that provides a 10 inch thick wall rated at R-25 insulation, compared to R-19 ratings of standard frame construction with fiberglass insulation, with no offgassing.

The Thermal mass of concrete, together with the insulation of the recycled polystirene, provides the insulation advantage.

It minimizes the use of lumber, conserving resources and money.

Energy efficient, fire, frost, insect, mold, hurricane and tornado resistant, it boasts near perfect vapor diffusion, and provides soundproofing.

The China Academy of Building Research in Bejing tested an actual sized 3 story home under dynamic loads to withstand 8 point earthquakes without measurable or visable damage.

Rastra provides a permanent framework for a grid of reinforced concrete that uses less concrete than other insulating concrete forms and has been used around the world in all climates.

Environmentally friendly, each element is air dried. No energy is used for curing.1 KwH produces one Rastra element, 10 inches thick by 15 inches high by 10 feet long.

During production no byproducts are freed and all debris is recycled into new elements, or other products.

Elements can be cut, rasped, routed, or carved into stunning sculptural forms using tools common for wood-working.

Nitches, Arches, insets of bottles, glass, and other creative formings can be achieved.

Plaster adheres without preparations of wire mesh or lath. Tiles can be set with thinset. Gypsum board can be glued directly to the walls or can be finished in stucco, plaster, or drywall mud.

You can finish a Rastra wall with any generic plaster/stucco system without any preparation. Most frequently a 2 layer application is used with a brown coat and an acrylic based color coat. On the inside plaster on gypsum basis can be used. But also all kind of veneers have been installed.

vertically integrated to fully
utilize all natural resources,
sharing materials so by-
products generated at one
millwork plant are utilized to
create finished products at
another.

Auralast wood is created with an
environmentally friendly
vacuum/pressure process, water
based, to reduce hazardous air
pollutant emissions by more
than 96 percent compared to
traditional dip or envelope
treatments which protect only
the surface of woods. Nails and
screw holes will not compromise
the integrity of AuroLast
woods, 100 percent protected
from surface to the core.

In addition, Jeld-Wen protects
the glass by utilizing
Preserve, a water based
adhesive film  which contains
no harmful chemicals or by-
products which can be removed
once construction is finished
for easy clean up and
disposal.This protects your
glass from damage due to
scratching, ghosting from glass
labels, and other building
materials which settle on the
glass during construction and
is applied to both inner and
outer surfaces at the factory

A wide array of styles and
components ranging from steel
to fiberglass, vinyl, to
composite, to wood assures the
architectural team creating the
initial designs of the energy
self-reliant, environmentally
friendly home being constructed
for the series FROM the GROUND
UP, any type of styled housing,
a great pallet of choice,
color,  and features and
promise to bring into the final
designs an innovatively
stunning result.
