Material Evolution
CEMENT STEEL SILICON
The advent of new materials is pivotal
to transformations in human society:
Sadly, the construction industry remains in the Stone Age.
THE AGE OF MAN THE INDUSTIAL REVOLUTION THE COMPUTER AGE

The Stone Age
SAO PAULO DETROIT MUMBAI
“One billion people live in informal settlements of their own making,
without adequate shelter, dependable power, or safe drinking water.”
It is high time our homes match the intelligence of our phones.
BioComposites Revolution
“Bio-based chemicals are projected to become 20% of all chemicals
produced worldwide, making them a $200 billion industry by 2020.”

Malama Composites
A-Side
Methylene DiisocyanateB-Side
Polyols derived from soy, castor or recycled PET
Malama manufactures the first line of rigid urethane foams made from sustainable resources that are non-toxic and easily recycled. 5
Sustainable AdvantagesOur products are cost and performance competitive with petroleum-based foams, while delivering significant human health and environmental benefits.
FEATURES BENEFITS
High bending & sheer strength Yields resilient, durable products
High R value & moisture resistance Ideal for insulating homes, cars, appliances
Uniform density and cell structure Machines and surfaces accurately
Made from low-cost plant polyols Price competitive with petro-based foams
Zero emissions (Berkley Analytical) Safer work places and living environments
Fully recovered and repurposed Superior lifecycle performance
Carbon negative (USDA-NIST Study) Every pound sequesters 2.6 lbs of CO2e

ENGINEERING PHASE
ACASA personnel will work with local engineering firms in order
to assure compliance with national/regional codes and secure all
necessary permits and certifications.
This includes Structural Engineering, Civil Engineering and
Surveying. Public facilities such as schools, medical clinics, parks
and recreational facilities, as well as community infrastructure such
as roads and bridges, power, water and MSW treatment facilities,
urban agricultural sites, and recycling facilities will be given particular
attention.
Of major importance in the engineering process is the preservation of
wildlife habitats, watersheds, sacred lands and sensitive ecosystems.
We are committed to the utilization of natural grades in order to
integrate drainage systems, grey water reclamation, rainwater
storage, and municipal solid waste management. In the past, these
have been separate functions. ACASA Communities will integrate
them in order to dramatically improve the treatment and utilization
of water… the most important natural resource on earth.
This same integrated approach also applies to energy generation,
monitoring and distribution. Depending upon the particular
community and its resources, solar photovoltaic arrays and wind
turbines will be deployed, along with co- generation power plants,
which can turn waste into energy with little or no air or water
pollution. In areas where the central utilities are not dependable,
energy storage in the form of batteries or fuel cells may be deployed
as well. The ultimate goal is to engineer net zero communities.

Malama has teamed with a group of talented developers to create high
performance, cost-competitive, energy efficient structures capable of
meeting the challenges of sustainable 21st Century development.
ACASA SystemACASA combines Malama’s foam panels with light-gauge
steel framing and geo-composite coatings to enable rapid
construction of high performance structures.

Extrusions carry loads and provide channels for water and power. SIP
panels lock into these extrusions providing strength and insulation values
2X to 3X higher than that of wood frame or cement block construction.
ACASA HomeThe ACASA System enables the “mass customization” of
homes and buildings at costs comparable to cement block
or stick frame construction methodologies.
1) A concrete foundation is poured or raised foundation constructed
2) Steel tracks are bolted to the foundation and vertical columns set
3) Panelized walls, doors and windows slide into the framing system
ACASA HomeElectrical wiring, plumbing, LED lighting, solar panels,
rain water collection, and water purification systems
are integrated into the building panels.
4) Exterior and interior geo-composite surfaces are applied
5) Sinks, toilets, windows, doors, cabinetry and fixtures are installed
6) All systems are integrated and interfaced with central control unit
ACASA HomesInterior and exterior surface treatments can be varied
to meet the architectural specifications, geographic
challenges and budget parameters of each project.
This dynamic systems approach to design and construction
enables mass customization of homes at pre-fabricated pricing.
ACASA SystemACASA will forever change the way we build homes and measure their environmental performance.
The ACASA system meets ICC International Code Certification.
