To ensure that buildings are structurally sound, energy efficient, and environmentally progressive, integrating multiple GreenGirt CMH continuous insulation systems effectively combats thermal bridging and promotes building health. This article details the Stratos Snowmass project, which includes three systems of GreenGirt CMH.
Stratos Snowmass
The Stratos Snowmass project in Snowmass, Colorado, includes 89 new condominium units across two buildings, totaling 109,000 square feet of GreenGirt CMH. Slated to break ground this year and finish in 2026, the buildings aim for LEED Gold certification in a location with harsh climates and high elevations, as the buildings are situated at Snowmass Mountain’s base of 8,500 feet. To meet LEED’s energy-efficiency benchmarks, GreenGirt Max CMH, GreenGirt CMH Roof, and GreenGirt CMH XO will be installed on the walls, on the roofs, and around the windows.
GreenGirt Max CMH – Walls
The GreenGirt Max CMH Z-girts in 4” depth installed 16” on center will enhance thermal efficiency and durability in the buildings’ facades. The flexibility of GreenGirt Max CMH supports the design needs for Snowmass with its mineral wool insulation and compatibility with both fiber cement and metal panel cladding systems.
GreenGirt CMH Roof
The GreenGirt CMH Roof system on the condominium buildings features 8” depth composite metal hybrid sub-framing Z-girts holding two 4” layers of polyisocyanurate insulation, ensuring thermal efficiency and preventing thermal bridging in harsh climates. This system acts as a “fifth wall” for the buildings’ roofs, which is integral for preventing thermal bridging and promoting structural integrity.
GreenGirt CMH XO – Windows
GreenGirt CMH XO provides continuous insulation around the windows, preventing thermal bridging and promoting energy efficiency. Integrating GreenGirt CMH XO will ensure the Stratos Snowmass solar-optimized windows to be structurally sound and provide thermal efficiency of 97% at the windows – more than doubling that of legacy framing systems.
Conclusion
Combining the GreenGirt Max CMH, GreenGirt CMH Roof, and GreenGirt CMH XO continuous insulation systems support the Stratos Snowmass buildings with the paramount structural integrity and best-in-class thermal efficiency on the buildings’ walls, windows, and roofs – highlighting the synergy of using multiple systems from Advanced Architectural Products’ portfolio of solutions.
