A New Era of Sustainable Buildings
Nexii is what a true green construction materials manufacturer should be.
Energy Savings
Nexii panels deliver a superior thermal building envelope dramatically reducing heating and cooling operating costs. Walls are rated to R34 and roof panels, where most of the energy is lost, are rated up to R60, well above current North American standards and codes. Nexii building systems use on average 1/3 less energy overall and ½ the energy for cooling than traditional buildings. Nexii’s thermal envelope saves money on energy and reduces the carbon generated to produce that energy.

Uses half the energy for cooling than traditional buildings.
Construction waste contributes to about 40% of all landfill waste.
Nexii panels generate one garbage bag of waste from the building envelope.
Waste Reduction
Construction waste contributes to about 40% of all landfill waste, twice as much as municipal solid waste. Construction waste is costly and inefficient to collect, transport and dump, making it an eyesore and major carbon contributor.
A typical QSR generates about 10,000 pounds of landfill waste – from just one location. Using Nexii panels generates one garbage bag of waste from the building envelope.
Nexii panels and finishes are pre-fabricated and fully finished in our sustainable factory, generating almost zero onsite waste while the average QSR building generates multiple dumpsters of landfill waste.
Carbon Reduction
Buildings and construction account for 39% of global climate pollution according to a UN report. Within the building construction sector, the largest offender is cement. If the cement industry was a country it would be the 3rd largest emitter. De-carbonizing concrete is a moon-shot goal and Nexii is joining the effort.
Nexii panels offer an outstanding environmental contribution, with third party life cycle assessments confirming that Nexii panels have 1/3 less embodied carbon than similar construction.
Combining that with the carbon reduction from energy savings, Nexii wall and panel systems deliver a 43% reduction in greenhouse gases over the building life - the lowest carbon building on the market.

Positive Change for Future Generations
Nexii is committed to meeting the highest standards of material health and transparency.
TRUE Gold Certification for Zero Waste
TRUE is a whole systems approach aimed at changing how materials flow through society, resulting in no waste. TRUE encourages the adoption of sustainable resource management and waste reduction practices which contribute to positive environmental, health and economic outcomes. Nexii's Squamish Plant is TRUE Gold Certified for zero waste.
Environmental Product Declarations
In 2023, Nexii published its first three Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) to provide clear and verified environmental impact data for a range of their building products. View our EPDs for Roof Panels, Cladding Panels, and Wall Panels.
Health Product Declarations
HPDs provide architects, builders, and customers with vital information to make informed decisions about their material choices. HPDs are governed by the Health Product Declaration Collaborative (HPDC), a non-profit organization with members across the building industry. Nexii’s HPDs are available as of March 2023 for three core products: Nexii Envelope Panels, Nexii Structural Envelope Panels, and Nexii Roof Panels
We are honoured to receive awards for our revolutionary green building products and innovative sustainable building solutions.
