How A2P's GreenGirt CMH and SMARTci systems transformed the concept of continuous insulation into a global standard.

Following his early success in engineering high-performance wall systems, A2P Founder and CEO G. Matt Krause advanced a clear and ambitious vision: to invent a continuous insulation system that delivered superior structural strength, thermal performance, and long-term reliability for buildings everywhere. This pursuit of better building technology would soon take shape through a series of projects that demonstrated both the power and potential of what would become GreenGirt CMH and SMARTci systems.

A2P Headquarters, Allegan, Michigan (2004-2006)

Construction of A2P’s headquarters in Allegan began in 2004 and was completed in 2006. The building became the foundation for the company’s identity and technology. Its wall and roof assemblies featured continuous insulation systems that combined the strength of steel with the thermal efficiency of composite fiberglass materials. These early CMH Z-girts proved that high structural performance could coexist with exceptional thermal control, establishing the core principles behind the GreenGirt CMH system.

By the time the Allegan facility opened, A2P had set a new benchmark for continuous insulation, one that delivered measurable efficiency, strength, and confidence.

University of Cincinnati Football Stadium Roof (2004)

In 2004, Wolverine Enclosures, an A2P affiliate, provided metal panel systems for the University of Cincinnati football stadium roof. The project integrated a continuous insulation system into the roofing assembly to enhance energy performance, comfort, and structural integrity. It demonstrated the scalability and versatility of A2P’s technology across large, complex installations, reinforcing its value as a complete thermal and structural solution.

This project validated A2P’s belief that continuous insulation could achieve both architectural ambition and engineering precision, setting a new standard for energy-efficient envelope systems.

Doha International Airport, Qatar (2009)

Beginning in 2004, the Doha International Airport project represented one of the most significant infrastructure developments of its time. The massive facility included a 5.5-million-square-foot passenger terminal, a 280-foot control tower, and a 1.6-million-square-foot maintenance complex, designed by HOK with project management by Bechtel. The airport officially opened in 2014.

In 2009, A2P contributed to the airport’s distinctive roof design by supplying a high-performance stainless-steel rainscreen system, while A2P technology was incorporated into the wall assemblies to achieve high thermal performance and energy efficiency in Qatar’s demanding desert climate. By eliminating through-metal and introducing true continuous insulation, A2P helped to protect the airport’s structure against heat transfer and thermal stress, providing long-term resilience and stability.

A Confident New Era of Building Performance

Today, GreenGirt CMH and SMARTci define the standard for continuous insulation systems, proving their ability to perform across diverse environments and scales. What began as a bold vision for better building performance has become a global foundation for energy-efficient, durable, and future-ready construction.
