1. COMPANY PROFILE / PRODUCT INTRODUCTION History Globeco International was established in 1997 in Apeldoorn, The Netherlands, by Jan Verhoef (our Managing Director). He has been active in international trade since 1965, and has specialised in affordable, quick-building systems from 1974. All the know-how and experience over more than 30 years, in this specific field, has been incorporated into Globeco. Together with Canadian partners, Jan Verhoef established Globeco Canada Inc., in Canada, in 1995, a production facility for building elements for certain regions of the American continent. During 2006 a large ECOTECH production facility was established in Turkey, being fully operative from 2007. Setting up production facilities in other regions of the world are planned for the near future, including one in Côte d’Ivoire, by Globeco (West) Africa, as a central location for the African markets. Activities / Operation All world-wide marketing activities are executed from The Netherlands, while the production takes place in the Canadian and Turkish factories. Sales are effected in many countries in Africa, Asia, North-, Central- and South America via own regional offices and / or local representatives. Products / Technology Pre-engineered building components are used for Globeco's own ECOTECH building system and for any other type of construction method. The range of building components consists of unique, structural insulated building elements (sandwich wall-, ceiling-, roof- & floor panels) for housing and other buildings We use the most advanced production methods, which guarantee a very precise manufacture of the components.

The ECOTECH building system offers a very easy assembly of buildings, quick and reliable construction and durability, comparable to or better than, quality traditional constructions. Clientele The ECOTECH building components and complete buildings are supplied to contractors for the social (affordable) housing market, for government (housing) projects (new and renovation sectors) and to/via international aid organisations, as emergency housing for victims of natural disasters (earthquakes, floods, hurricanes etc.).

Trade Mark / Quality The building system and its components are produced and marketed under our registered/protected ECOTECH Building Systems trademark.

Excellent quality, combined with an affordable price level, has built a strong brand image. ECOTECH stands for "green" (safe and environmentally friendly) products, manufactured in non-polluting plants and using non-hazardous raw materials.

2. DESCRIPTION OF ECOTECH SANDWICH BUILDING ELEMENTS ECOTECH Building Systems, our registered trademark, has as a basis a unique structural insulated sandwich building element, produced using specially developed and advanced production methods.

A sandwich building element is composed of two high quality fibre-reinforced cement panels with a timber or galvanized steel frame in between. They are simultaneously glued and filled, by a high pressure injection of top quality (CFC free!) polyurethane foam, giving the element extreme strength and stability. The elements vary in thickness from 50 to 200mm (standard 100mm), and have embedded:

• vertical studs c.t.c. 600mm or c.t.c. 300mm, and horizontal beams at factory pre-cut openings, for windows, doors and other to built-in items;

• a vertically positioned PVC pipe every 1.200mm, for easy and safe electrical wiring. They are made in various widths in multiples of 300mm, and heights from 2.400 to 3.000 mm. Options/alternatives:

• OSB (oriented strand board), or fibre-reinforced dry walling, or plywood instead of fibre-cement panels, for the interior/exterior panels.

Walls

ECOTECH system walls are composed of 100mm thick standard elements. At all four short sides the elements have a groove for assembly (interlocking) purpose. Special metal profiles (footers) are anchored onto the floor to install the elements. The elements are connected side-by-side, using heavy steel profiles, fitting into the grooves. At the corners the same steel profiles are applied. On top, inside the elements' grooves, steel connecting profiles are used.

The exterior walls can be finished with a spray-on, special, high quality weatherproof fibre-based coating, providing an extremely tough and very durable finish, which needs minimal maintenance, or with any other basic exterior coating / paint. Inside, the walls can be sprayed with high quality interior types of coatings, whereas for all so-called "wet spaces" (toilets, bathrooms, kitchen, stores) the exterior quality coating can be used, or the walls can be tiled with ceramic tiles. Many other finishes are possible!

Ceilings / Roofs / Floors ECOTECH system building elements are also used for ceilings, roofs and floors, and are installed in the same manner as the walls, but in various (standard) dimensions and with somewhat different / additional assembly accessories. There are roof elements for flat and for pitched roofs. ECOTECH buildings have standard ‘built-in’ provisions against earthquakes, floods, hurricanes and other disasters!

3. GENERAL DESCRIPTION & CONSTRUCTION DETAILS OF THE

PRE-ENGINEERED ECOTECH COMPONENTS BUILDING SYSTEM

G E N E R A L Building elements / Insulation (R) values ECOTECH structural insulated building elements are available in the following thicknesses and R-values:

Thickness 50mm 75mm 100mm 125mm 150mm 200mm

R-value 1,5 2,5 3,5 4,5 5,5 7,0

S P E C I F I C D E T A I L S Foundation / floor An ECOTECH building can be constructed on a simple steel wire mesh and/or bar reinforced concrete slab. E.g. for a one- or two storey home, with a wall thickness of 100 to 150 mm, a 200 to 300mm wide foundation border of 300 to 600mm depth, can be used. Exact floor/foundation dimensions are dependent on prevailing site and soil conditions. An insulated prefab floor, for permanent or temporary (movable) ECOTECH buildings, can be composed of ECOTECH structural insulated building elements, combined with special metal or wooden supporting profiles / beams. Walls All outer- and partition walls are constructed with our ECOTECH structural insulated building elements, utilizing our standard thickness panels, ranging from 50 to 200mm. A detailed description of our ECOTECH sandwich building elements, regarding installation and finishing, can be found in our ‘2. DESCRIPTION OF ECOTECH SANDWICH BUILDING ELEMENTS (ref. TD(EcoSys) 00.010.01 – February 2010). The vertical connecting profiles in between the wall building elements, anchored into the floor and connected at the top to the roof structure, give enormous structural strength to the building. This makes the building ‘earthquake safe’, which is becoming a standard safety requirement in many countries nowadays.
