Alternative Construction Technologies, Inc. (OTCBB: ACCY) is positioning themselves to be a leader in creating and implementing innovative techniques in the building of commercial, residential, industrial and modular building industry. Known as structural insulated panels (SIPs), the company developed a revolutionary technology called the ACTech® Panel System that utilizes more sophisticated galvanized steel "skin" SIP system to complete energy efficient, stronger, safer, faster, and more economical structure than the conventional wood and brick based building products.

The ACTech® Panel is used for walls, roofs, and sometimes floors. The panels are produced with a high-percentage of recycled material content, contain no CFCs, HCFCs, or formaldehyde, are non-flammable, have a low impact on indoor air emissions, and resist decay.

The patented ACTech® SIP system is environmentally-friendly and easier to construct with – not only saving labor cost and cutting construction time – but also reducing recurring monthly heating and cooling energy bills by 30-50%. In recent tests the ACTech® system showed a more disaster tolerant strength and is substantially stronger than concrete block or wood frame construction. As new construction and rebuilding takes place in hurricane and tornado prone states throughout the nation, the company believes that with added awareness and new building codes that they can assist in building stronger and more durable structures that will make it through the most dangerous weather.

Alternative Construction recently announced that they have been selected to participate in "The Faces of Climate Change" media campaign. Jerry Karnas, President of the Florida Chapter of the Environmental Defense Fund, introduced the idea. The Florida Wildlife Federation (FWF) and Environmental Defense Fund (EDF) worked together to produce a multi-media campaign designed to highlight the impacts caused by climate change and the possible solutions that are being offered by Florida entrepreneurs and its industry to address both climate and energy alternatives.

"We believe there is consensus that Florida is a pivotal state in the national debate over means to combat global warming," said Jerry Karnas. "Florida is arguably the state that will be most affected by climate change as manifested in sea level rise, frequent and severe storms and other perils that place people, wildlife and habitat at risk. Additionally, Florida's population and our position as a swing state in national elections make this a critical background for climate change policy."
