EnerDynamic Hybrid Technologies and Northern Shield Development Corporation Introduce ENERTEC Panels to First Nations Communities

EnerDynamic Hybrid Technologies (TSXV:EHT) and Northern Shield Development Corporation are pleased to announce the first installation of ENERTEC wall panels in a First Nation’s home. Northern Shield Development Corporation, a First Nation and Aboriginal focused structurally insulated panel housing provider has commencing installation of the ENERTEC Fiberglass Reinforced Fire Retardant Structurally Insulated Panels (FRSIP) in homes constructed by NSDC in Brunswick House First Nation, located near Chapleau, ON.
As quoted in the press release:

The term “Structurally Insulated Panel” or “SIP” is an established industry terminology that historically has identified a panel consisting of wood sheeting on both sides of an insulation material. The ENERTEC wall panel redefines that as a Fiberglass Reinforced Fire Retardant panel which is cost effective, carries a better fire rating and provides a materially shorter installation process than the old products. The ENERTEC wall panel recently received its Class II of B fire rating, meeting Canadian National Building Code requirements for most applications.
The ENERTEC FRSIP wall panels will be used for the first time as interior partition walls for two bedrooms being added in the basements of 8 homes being built in the Brunswick House community. “Rather than use conventional stick framing and standard construction materials, we opted to use a 4″ thick ENERTEC FRSIP wall panel to add the bedrooms to the basements. Even doing this for the first time, the time savings to erect the walls has truly been exceptional” said Mr. Steve Marshall, President of NSDC. Mr. Marshall further commented that “using the ENERTEC FRSIP wall panels to replace interior wall framing will dramatically change how our homes are constructed and/or renovated. Not only is the system simplistic, easy and fast to install but the ENERTEC FRSIP’s further advance our goal of eliminating mould and enhancing fire resiliency.”
