Long Beach, California, May 1, 2008 — In response to increasing demand for more durable, energy-efficient building systems, Conduit Development, a Long Beach-based sustainable green builder, supplier and developer, is proud to have joined forces with ARXX Building Products Inc., the leading supplier of Green Build Systems in North America.

“We are pleased to bring the ARXX Green Build System, including the company’s superior Insulating Concrete Form (ICF) Wall System, to the building community and homeowners throughout Los Angeles, Ventura and Santa Barbara counties,” says Denise Gonzales, CEO of Conduit Development. “With its environmentally forward vision, ARXX represents the future of sustainable building and is in line with our business objectives. The company’s comprehensive suite of green products is designed to create more energy-efficient, stronger and safer homes and businesses that will last for generations to come.”

“ARXX has the highest regard for the reputation and customer service that Conduit Development has exhibited in their growing green building solutions services,” says Randy Daniels, Southwest Regional sales manager for ARXX. “We feel Conduit can offer ARXX ICF customers world-class support.”

By becoming a major California distributor for ARXX, Conduit expands its role as a pioneer in eco-friendly building techniques and practices. Most recently, Conduit partnered with Habitat for Humanity of Greater Los Angeles to construct 14 Gold LEED-certified homes for the high-profile Jimmy Carter Work Project 2007.

Heading up the ARXX eco-friendly product line is the ICF Wall System, which is comprised of “stay in place” expanded polystyrene forms that are reinforced with steel bars and filled with concrete. ICF is mold, weather and insect resistant, and provides superior green benefits.

The ARXX Green Advantage:

Significant savings on energy bills

The only ICF with a UL/ULC Fire Rating

Elimination of “cold spots” that occur in conventional frame homes

Interior temperature stabilization

High R-values

High thermal mass

Low air-infiltration

To further promote environmentally friendly building techniques, including the use of the ARXX Green Build System, Conduit will conduct a series of one-day ICF technical training seminars for forward-thinking industry professionals, including developers, architects, engineers and builders. The first seminar is scheduled for Friday, June 6, 2008 and will be held at the Energy Resource Center in Downey, CA in partnership with Forming Solutions, distributors for ARXX in Orange and San Diego counties.
