S.I. Container Builds shipping container homes positively impact climate change resiliency in Chicago.
In the Chicagoland area, a shipping container community of 20 homes can enhance climate change resiliency by mitigating the urban heat island.
Chicago is prone to the "urban heat island" effect. Our homes can be designed with green roofs, solar panels, or solar reflective materials that reduce heat absorption. This helps cool the surrounding air, contributing to a reduction in local temperatures during heat waves.
For a community of 20 small shipping container homes, it reduces the need for cooling by up to 20-30%, leading to 1-2 metric tons of CO2 savings per year per home.
