Largest Vedic Green Designed Development in the USA Will Use Green E-Board™

Vero Beach, FL, January 18, 2007 --(PR.com)-- Mandala Club, the largest Vedic green design development in the USA has picked Southern Cross Building Products as its supplier of environmentally friendly specialized building panels called GREEN E BOARD™ that are manufactured to minimize carbon emissions and help eliminate interior health hazards like mold.

Mandala Club will be a community of 90 homes located in Vero Beach, Florida. These homes are designed to promote the health and wellbeing of its residents. Mandala Club is being designed to the highest green building standards and the principles of Vedic Green Design and Development.

Vedic Green Design and Development offers a whole-systems approach through design, planning, and building techniques to maximize environmental sensitivity, increase energy efficiency, provide toxic-free interior environments, and create a true sense of community, to enhance the health, happiness and success of its residents.

GREEN E-BOARD™ will be used extensively throughout the project for finished walls, underneath floors as an underlayment under stone and tile.

Southern Cross Building Products, the owner and distributor of GREEN E-BOARD™, designed the boards so that they are water resistant, fire proof, mildew resistant, termite and rodent resistant, and easy to install. The boards are manufactured without gypsum or Portland cement which are two of the most popular building materials in the USA and most of the world. "According to industry professionals, both of these 'mainstream' products have been known to contribute to green house emissions or health hazards like mold," says Rodrigo Vera.

The company distributes a full range of sustainable flooring and wall building products made of glass, wood, stone and clay.

“We are committed to find ways so that our ‘green’ building products are less expensive than traditional and less friendly building products,” said Rodrigo Vera, the company managing member.

“I never understood why it should cost more when you buy green. It should be the opposite. There should always be an added economic incentive for people. We position our products so that the end user is actually paying less for a building product that is manufactured from a sustainable or recycled source.”
