There are several ways that a prefab housing material can be designed
to be "cool" in terms of its thermal properties, which can help to reduce indoor
temperatures and improve energy efficiency.
One common approach is to use materials with high reflectivity and low
thermal emissivity, which can reflect solar radiation and reduce heat
absorption. For example, some roofing materials are coated with reflective
coatings to reduce heat absorption and improve energy efficiency.
The Jacinto Roofing Company's claim that their prefab housing can
withstand winds of up to 225km/hr suggests that they are using materials and
construction methods that are specifically designed to resist high winds and
other environmental factors. For example, they may be using steel or other
reinforced materials for the frame and structural elements of the building, as
well as impact-resistant windows and doors.
In terms of the construction timeline, the use of prefabricated
components can greatly speed up the construction process. Because the
components are manufactured in a controlled factory environment, they can
be produced quickly and with a high degree of accuracy, which can eliminate
many of the delays and errors that can occur in traditional on-site construction.
Once the components are delivered to the construction site, they can
be assembled quickly and efficiently using specialized equipment and
techniques. For example, walls and roof panels may be attached using cranes
and specialized connectors, while interior components such as plumbing and
electrical systems can be installed using pre-fabricated modular components.
