November 2007 - ACSYS To Open West Coast Plant
Hayden Lake, Idaho. Acsys, Inc., internationally renown for its energy efficient and cost effective panelized building system for both commercial and residential construction is continuing its expansion, now on the West Coast.
Acsys Inc. has begun work on its new production facility in Post Falls, Idaho to manufacture its patented Acsys panel system. The system replaces structural stud wall and non-structural curtain wall assemblies. Today's concerns over energy costs, mold growth, speed of construction, availability of skilled labor, and sustainable building products are easily addressed with the Acsys technology.
Growing demand for the Acsys building system, combined with today's energy and transportation costs, has motivated it to establish its new, West Coast, production facility near Spokane, Washington. To date, its technology has been proven in hundreds of commercial and residential projects across the country and internationally.
Acsys recently granted Butler Manufacturing Company, of Kansas City, Missouri a non-exclusive license to continue manufacturing the Acsys panel under the Koreteck brand name for non-residential projects. Acsys can now source panels from both the Koreteck plant in Virginia and the new Acsys plant in Idaho.
These exciting new developments give Acsys, Inc. true coast-to-coast access to the commercial and residential construction markets. We expect plant operations to be underway in the spring of 2008 said, Werner Nennecker, President, Acsys, Inc.
Acsys Sponsors WSU Solar Decathlon Project in Washington, D.C.
Washington State University used Acsys wall and roof panels for their Solar Decathlon Project. The Solar Decathlon brings together 18 teams of college and university students from around the globe to participate in an unparalleled solar competition to design, build, and operate the most attractive and energy-efficient solar-powered home. The Acsys system was chosen because of its high R-value and ease of construction.
The Solar Decathlon is a competition sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy in partnership with its National Renewable Energy Laboratory, the American Institute of Architects, the National Association of Homebuilders, BP, the DIY Network, and Sprint. The goal is to use only energy from the sun and to generate enough electricity to run a modern household.
