Kendeda Building for Innovative Sustainable Design

Atlanta, GA

The Kendeda Building for Innovative Sustainable Design in Atlanta, Georgia, uses 1,500 square feet of GreenGirt Max CMH™ over metal studs, behind steel fin cladding, with mineral wool insulation. This university teaching and research building was designed by Lord Aeck Sargent and Miller Hull, with Skanska USA serving as both general contractor and installer.

A project measured on energy use is assessed by how the finished wall performs, not by the rated values of its individual parts. The composite construction of the GreenGirt Max CMH girt fastens the steel fin cladding and spans the insulation while conducting far less heat than a solid steel girt would, keeping the completed assembly close to the energy goals set for the building.
