Why Thermally Efficient Building Envelopes Start with GreenGirt CMH and SMARTci Systems

July 20, 2021

Introduction

As a contractor or architect, you know that the building envelope is one of the most critical components in designing energy-efficient buildings. Well-designed and constructed thermally efficient building envelopes reduce energy consumption and costs while ensuring better control over indoor temperatures. This enhances occupant comfort and gives building administrators greater control. Moreover, thermally efficient envelopes can drastically lower the carbon footprint by reducing energy use, minimizing long-term power costs, and significantly improving overall building comfort.

But how can you ensure that your building envelope is thermally efficient? The best solution lies in using GreenGirt CMH sub-framing within GreenGirt CMH continuous insulation and SMARTci building enclosure systems.

Achieving Energy Efficiency with GreenGirt CMH and SMARTci Systems

At Advanced Architectural Products (A2P), our goal is to help create energy-efficient buildings. Our GreenGirt CMH continuous insulation and SMARTci building enclosure systems are designed to eliminate thermal gaps that often exist in conventional systems. Together, they represent the gold standard in energy-efficient design, combining the benefits of GreenGirt CMH, a composite metal hybrid sub-framing with continuous insulation and building enclosure solutions.

The GreenGirt CMH Advantage

GreenGirt CMH sub-framing, used within the GreenGirt CMH continuous insulation and SMARTci building enclosure, offers a superior alternative to traditional steel sub-framing. By opting for GreenGirt CMH instead of metal girts with through-fasteners, you eliminate thermal bridging. This innovative material delivers both structural strength and thermal performance while also eliminating moisture-related issues, electrochemical reactions, and corrosion.

When you choose GreenGirt CMH or SMARTci systems, you gain the benefits of superior loading capabilities, compared to or better than metal Z-girts of similar depth. GreenGirt CMH sub-framing is available in various depths, including 2″, 2.5″, 3″, 3.5″, 4″, 4.5″, 5″, 5.5″, 6″, and 8″.

Understanding GreenGirt CMH Sub-Framing

GreenGirt CMH is a patented composite metal hybrid girt that forms the core of both GreenGirt CMH continuous insulation and SMARTci building enclosure systems. This Z-shaped girt provides unmatched energy efficiency by acting as a thermal break for cladding applications while offering an insulation retention platform. It’s a flexible solution that is compatible with any cladding, insulation, or substrate. By incorporating GreenGirt CMH into your design, you ensure an energy-efficient, high-performance building envelope.

GreenGirt CMH eliminates the common issues associated with metal components connecting a building’s exterior and interior. The GreenGirt CMH and SMARTci systems, both engineered for simplicity and efficiency, eliminate thermal bridges, prevent cold spots, and address moisture-related concerns. These complete solutions offer a reliable way to enhance the thermal performance of your building.

Achieving LEED Certification and More

If you’re working toward LEED certification, GreenGirt CMH and SMARTci are the optimal solutions. They help meet stringent energy efficiency requirements, making your projects more sustainable and environmentally friendly.

By using GreenGirt CMH sub-framing with GreenGirt CMH continuous insulation or SMARTci building enclosure systems, you design smarter buildings. These buildings lead the industry in thermal efficiency and durability.
