The Forge Energy Model
We at Forge are creating a new paradigm in urban housing in order to achieve sustainability, affordability, and quality. A major component of the Forge Solutions Model is the Forge Energy Model. Forge is committed to not only making our buildings and the construction process “less bad”, but actually good for the environment. It is interesting to note that while taking a sustainable approach we are not forced to sacrifice quality, technology, or amenities.
By default, the patented construction technique we use is less wasteful and taxing on the environment because it is a manufactured prefabricated housing solution. This means that the whole building (aside from the foundations) is built in a factory setting. This creates significantly fewer disturbances on site. In addition, building in a factory allows all environmental factors to be controlled. This enables the product to be delivered much quicker and of higher quality than if it were built on site. The speed of delivery comes from both the ability to work around the clock, if need be, and the simultaneous phasing of the project. We are hoping to drill this process down even further and create a larger cost savings using this prefabricated construction method.

The Forge Energy Model dictates that alternative energy sources will be a key component to all of our projects. As such, our buildings incorporate innovative systems and technologies through unique partnerships to help capture these alternative energy sources. Currently, our projects incorporate incredibly efficient hot water solar panels, state of the art greywater recycling systems, and hydrogen fuel cells. All of this coupled with the very low operational costs of our buildings lead our projects to be net producers of electricity. Our buildings operate at about 75% the electricity demand when compared to traditionally constructed buildings. This is partially due to the nature of the prefabricated building system and partially due to the fact that the whole building is low voltage and utilizes LED lighting. As you can see, Forge puts both the environment and the end user experience first.
We are always looking for more partners to improve our model so feel free to contact us with the form below. We would be happy to discuss how you think our model could be improved. Thanks!
