Construction energy use can be reduced by 40-60% for a container home

Building a S.I. Container Builds' tiny home using a repurposed shipping container provides significant reductions in energy use compared to a traditional stick-build home.

Here's a breakdown of the construction energy data.


Shipping Container Tiny Home:

  • Requires less labor and machinery use compared to a stick-built home, leading to reduced construction-phase emissions. Most of the shell is already in place.


Stick-Built Home:

  • More energy-intensive processes, such as framing, cutting lumber, and pouring concrete, increase emissions during construction.


Energy Reduction Estimate: Construction energy use can be reduced by 40-60% for a container home, as the basic structure is already in place.
