Pro Nature City
Pro Nature City helps people who want to prevent ecosystem disruptions, protect lives from natural disasters, and increase energy efficiency by integrating the proprietary PLEM approach into construction and urban development.
Saving Planet, Lives, Energy and More
PLEM™ Benefits
​
The PLEM™ approach offers transformative benefits, aligning with the Pro Nature City™ primary mission of saving Planet, Lives, Energy and More.
Saving Planet
​
​​​​By adopting the PLEM™ approach, we can integrate natural elements into our buildings, replacing the vegetation removed during construction. From above, these structures blend seamlessly into their surroundings, appearing as part of nature itself. The reinforced concrete shell of PLEM™ structures supports this integration, offering strength and insulation while allowing us to restore both nature and city structures.
​
​Saving Lives​​​ & structures
​
​1. Earthquake Resistance
The solid, one-piece reinforced concrete shell of PLEM™ homes ensures the entire structure moves as a unified entity during earthquakes. This prevents joint separation and collapse, much like a car or RV shakes but remains intact.
​
2. Wildfire Resistance
The concrete shell, combined with metal-framed windows, doors, and garage doors, creates a fireproof exterior, ensuring the safety of residents and interiors. By eliminating flammable materials beyond the shell, PLEM™ homes minimize the risk of fire spreading inside during wildfire events.
​
​The soil provides exceptional thermal insulation. When a house is built using the PLEM™ approach, the indoor temperature remains remarkably stable, even if fire reaches the vegetation on the roof, thanks to the insulating properties of the soil layer. The scientific results below demonstrate how this principle works.
​
3. Resistance to Strong Storms and Tornadoes
Tornadoes and storms frequently cause severe roof damage. The unified reinforced concrete shell of PLEM™ homes resists these forces, providing complete protection. For added security, retractable metal sheets can be installed to cover windows and door openings during such events.
​​
​
Saving Energy
​
​1. Superior Insulation
The combination of concrete walls, roof, and a soil-and-vegetation cover provides excellent thermal insulation. This natural layer maintains consistent indoor temperatures, leveraging the stable temperature characteristics of the Earth.
2. Strategic Window Placement
PLEM™ homes harness these sun patterns to warm interiors in winter and minimize heat gain in summer.
Saving More​
​
​1. Lower Energy Bills
Eliminating or reducing the need for heating and cooling systems due to superior insulation and strategic window placement.
2. Reduced Insurance Costs
Enhanced protection from natural disasters like earthquakes, wildfires, and tornadoes leads to lower insurance premiums.
3. Maintenance-Free Exteriors
The concrete shell eliminates the need for exterior wall repairs, repainting, and insulation upkeep.
​4. Roof and Gutter Savings
​Roof maintenance, gutter cleaning, and replacements are eliminated.
​
5. Pest Protection
The secure concrete structure reduces the need for pest control services.
6. Minimal Landscaping Costs
​Choosing natural, native vegetation for coverage can help reduce landscaping expenses.
​
7. Help Preventing Disease Outbreaks
Biodiversity acts as a buffer; when it's reduced, disease-carrying species dominate, increasing exposure risk to human. Research publications confirm that degraded ecosystems increase the likelihood of zoonotic diseases jumping from animals to humans.
Ecosystem disruption and global warming act synergistically to increase the prevalence and geographic spread of mosquito-borne diseases, including Zika, Chikungunya, Dengue, and Malaria.
​
Changes in land use and climate create favorable conditions for mosquitoes and ticks that carry diseases like malaria, chikungunya, dengue, Zika, and Lyme disease. vector-borne diseases account for more than 17% of all infectious diseases.
