Enviro Board\'s goals are not only building affordable sustainable commercial / residential projects and supporting agricultural programs; but to also educate, train and provide green jobs while improving lives, the economy and the planet.

1. Creating Affordable Living Solutions by Recycling Straw

2. Enviro Board Overview
Enviro Board has developed and patented a technology for the
production of strawboard panels which have been successfully
used in construction for over 70 years.

4. The U.S. Green Building Council's LEED specification is mentioned in 71% of all
projects valued at over $50 million.
The value of green building construction starts was up 50% from 2008 to 2010 — from
$42 billion to $71 billion — and represents 25% of all new construction activity in 2010.
According to projections, the green building market size is expected to reach $135
billion by 2015.

5. California by way of example, is considering a “Green” Building Code. Demand is driven
by legislation and government spending. Building owners cited three business benefits as
the main drivers for building green (Green Outlook 2011).

retrofits;
Operating cost savings of 100%
Increase in building values of 10.9% for from our zero energy system on our
new buildings and 6.8% for retrofits; and modular homes.
Increase in return on investment (ROI) of
9.9% for new buildings and 19.2% for
retrofits

6. U.S. legislation, introduced and passed by Senator Harkin, requires the Federal
government to buy with prejudice and bias environmental products over non-
environmental products. The Company’s two products are entirely environmental.
This legislation coupled with tax incentives in The American Recovery and Investment Act
of 2009 and LEED tax incentives and other legislation confirm a legislative trend
mandating the use of environmental products.
Product end users include:
Environmental government buildings Environmental schools
Environmental inner city residential housing Environmental highway sound walls

11. Embodied Energy

12. Enviro Board panels are ―concrete like‖ fiber board
panels and can be used in a variety of applications:
• Building Panels for all Construction Applications
• Exterior and interior walls
• Roofs, ceilings and sub-flooring
• Office Partition Systems
• Insulation Panels
• Door Cores
• Sound-deadening Panels
• Freeway Sound Wall Panels
• Home Kits

13. Pael Specifications
Fire Resistant
• ASTM E84-61 requirements for non-combustible materials
• A 1 ½ hour fire rating with two strawboard panels bonded together
• Lack of pore space prevents oxygen combustion
• Carbon formed in the charring acts as an additional fire barrier
Moisture Resistant
• Full immersion for 2 hours = approximately 6% absorption
• Dry manufacturing process = low moisture content in panels
• Additional stucco plaster or alternative weatherproofing
material used in construction

14. • High Axial Strength - Inherent fiber strength and
flexibility can withstand wind speeds up to hurricane
force
• Excellent Insulation Properties – greatly reduces radiant
heat transmission; retains interior coolness
• Excellent Soundproofing Properties - sound absorption
is approximately 40%
• Panels Incorporate Non-toxic Inhibitors – panels are
termite resistant as well as mold and mildew resistant

24. …Restore Neighborhoods LA would advocate for
increased use of Enviro Board fiberboard panels and
engineering systems in all new home construction by
the Los Angeles Housing Department and homes
funded through federal programs, such as Housing
and Urban Development.
To date, HUD has allocated to the City of Los
Angeles a total of $142.6 million to implement
the NSP in various targeted communities
throughout the City.

25. Sumary
Enviro Board technology offers a low-cost solution to the worldwide housing crisis while
helping to preserve the environment.
Enviro Board technology is available today and is easily transferable to any region in the
world at a time of tremendous need and demand for basic shelter.
Enviro Board technology offers an alternative to the worldwide practice of burning straw
as a means of disposal, which pollutes the environment.
Enviro Board panels are mass-produced, easily assembled and have multiple
applications, e.g., used as exterior and interior wall panels in the construction of energy
efficient buildings.
Enviro Board provides a means to build quality, large volume housing at the minimum of
cost using locally produced materials which would otherwise be burned.
