Low Cost � Effective, Energy Efficient -
(Chickasaw County, MS Jail built a Dome facility
- - They compared their average electricity cost against their old conventional facility ;
THE FOUR MONTH AVERAGE COST PER SQUARE FOOT WAS $.48 FOR THE DOME FACILITY
-
�APRIL, 2004 � EXECUTIVE ENGINEER K.S. SHAH, ROAD & BUILDINGS DIVISION, PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT, STATE GOVERNMENT OF GUJARAT, INDIA STATED: THE AVERAGE ANNUAL COST OF MAINTENANCE FOR EXISTING CONVENTIONAL BUILDINGS IN GUJARAT IS 5% PER ANNUM.
�THERE IS NO MAINTENANCE REQUIRED FOR A DOME STRUCTURE OTHER THAN OCCASIONAL WASHING.
�CONSEQUENTLY, ON MAINTENANCE SAVINGS ALONE, YOUR SAVINGS OVER A 5-YEAR PERIOD WILL BE 25% , AND OVER A 20-YEAR PERIOD WILL BE 100%.
�THE SHAPE OF THE DOME STRUCTURE WITH ITS LOW SURFACE AREA TO VOLUME RATION AUTOMATICALLY REDUCES BY 30% THE AMOUNT OF CUBIC METERS NECESSARY TO BE HEATED OR COOLED. THE POLYURETHANE FOAM USED IN THE DOME HAS THE HIGHEST INSULATIVE VALUE IN USE IN BUILDING CONSTRUCTION TODAY. BECAUSE OF THE FOAM�S PLACEMENT WITHIN THE WALLS, THE EXTREME INSULATING PROPERTIES OF THE DOME (R-28+ RATING BY U.S. LABORATORY) MAKES IT INCREDIBLY ENERGY EFFICIENT - 50% - 70% SAVINGS OVER CONVENTIONAL STRUCTURES AS TESTED IN U.S.A.
�NO OTHER STRUCTURE ON THE MARKET TODAY CAN MAKE THAT CLAIM.
VS $1.80 PER SQUARE FOOT FOR THEIR OLD CONVENTIONAL JAIL FACILITY.)

DOME HOUSE ON NAVARRE BEACH, FLORIDA
� DIRECT HIT FROM HURRICANE OPAL � 1995
� WITHSTOOD 144 MPH WINDS, 18 FOOT
TIDAL WAVE STORM SURGE� NO DAMAGE!
FEMA TESTING
�The Wind Science and Engineering Division of Texas Tech University in Lubbock, Texas
successfully tested our composite
dome panels to hurricane shelter standards in
May, 2006.
Testing was consistent with the impact guidelines
of the Florida Building Code, ASTM 1886E/1996E and FEMA 320 and FEMA 361.
We also had a specially built panel successfully pass the tornado shelter standard.
This test consists of 3 separate shots of a 15 lb. 2 x 4, fired at a speed of 100 MPH.
The Dome structures have been exposed to three hurricanes in Florida and numerous
tornados. In all cases the damage was minimal and only minor inconvenience
to the home owner. Wind testing was done at the INEEL
wind storm test facility. The structural test was also conducted by Dr.
Avent of Mississippi State University. Fire Retardant coating is applied to
all WDI dome interior structures. This coating gives the structure a
Class A Rating.�

each panel
Dome House in Ahmedabad, India
survived Bhuj earthquake in 2001. Many surrounding houses were
damaged.
�Simply washing the shell with bleach and water is all the maintenance
that is required for normal installations.
�Easy composite repair should a panel ever become damaged.
Composite panels are hurricane shelter approved.
Composite homes have been standing for 30 years.
�Approved by U.S.A. HUD (Housing and Urban Development Agency),
and by
�Alabama Manufactured Housing Association
