Environmental Measures Ground Replacement Method "Columbus+"
Ground Replacement Method Columbus+
[Environmental Measures] The thermal insulation of geofoam reduces heat loss! Contributes to CO2 reduction!
【(Foundation) Better Living's experiment has demonstrated the effectiveness of vibration reduction】 【The Hokkaido Northern Architectural Research Institute has verified and evaluated the insulation and frost prevention effects】 【Patent construction method】 The ground replacement method "Columbus+" removes heavy soil beneath the foundation and replaces it with lightweight and compression-resistant "Geoform," reducing the weight of buildings on soft ground and suppressing settlement. Additionally, Geoform has insulation properties. Since it is laid out across the entire foundation area, heat loss to the underfloor is minimized. Minimizing heat loss leads to reduced heating costs, which in turn contributes to CO2 reduction. ○ Geoform, precut according to construction drawings, is easy to install. ○ We guarantee protection against damage to the foundation and building due to differential settlement for 10 years, up to a maximum of 50 million yen. ○ We have a track record of 4,000 projects nationwide, from public properties to private homes (as of August 2020). ○ We are expanding offices and agencies nationwide, and local representatives will visit to provide explanations. ○ Estimates are free of charge. ○ For more details, please contact us or download the catalog.

basic information
【Demonstration of Insulation Effect at Hokkaido Northern Architecture Comprehensive Research Institute】 Experiments conducted by the Hokkaido Northern Architecture Comprehensive Research Institute have revealed that the ground replacement method "Columbus+" reduces heat loss under the floor by nearly half compared to conventional foundation insulation. Reducing heat loss means reducing CO2 emissions, and the ground replacement method "Columbus+" not only protects the assets of land and buildings but also contributes to protecting the global environment. 【Scope and Conditions of Application】 ○ Building weight: 6t/m2 or less (suitable for wooden, steel frame, and RC structures up to about 3 or 4 stories) ○ Must be a flat foundation. ○ Can accommodate an N value of 0.
