BUILDINGS Magazine has announced Advanced Architectural Products as a winner of the 2024 BUILDINGS Magazine Product Innovation Awards for its GreenGirt CMH XO™ continuous insulation system for windows. The award celebrates innovation in building materials and solutions for architects, building owners, facility managers, and product specification influencers.
Created with versatility and optimization in mind, the GreenGirt CMH XO™ continuous insulation system for windows is meticulously crafted to accommodate a wide range of window types, ensuring seamless integration and superior performance. Engineered for punched openings, storefronts, curtain walls, and ribbon windows alike, the GreenGirt CMH XO aligns the window’s thermal plane with continuous insulation, achieving up to 97% thermal efficiency—far surpassing the 45% efficiency of traditional materials like metal or wood—thus meeting stringent ASHRAE 90.1 energy efficiency standards while providing necessary structural support. All while fully integrating with the portfolio of GreenGirt CMH continuous insulation and SMARTci building enclosure systems.
To help designers and installers use GreenGirt CMH XO on new construction and retrofit window projects, the Advanced Architectural Products team has compiled several resources, including:
- Ten Best Practices for Energy Efficient Windows and Openings: A Checklist
- Solving Building Opening Challenges with GreenGirt CMH XO
