Cold Weather Insulation: Continuous Insulation Performance Lessons from Sub-Arctic Alaska Projects
In cold, sub-arctic locations, keeping buildings well-insulated throughout the winter is a major challenge and requires a robust continuous insulation and building enclosure system to handle the thermal efficiency expectations […]
Stadium Construction: How To Deliver Thermal Efficiency at Scale
For expansive buildings, such as stadiums, structural stability and occupant comfort are essential success factors. Stadiums house thousands of people under one “roof,” and need to provide an environment that […]
Continuous Insulation for K-12 School Construction
No matter what kind of building you are designing for, the GreenGirt CMH™ continuous insulation and SMARTci® building enclosure systems are available to help your next project succeed by providing […]
Continuous Insulation for Terracotta Cladding
The GreenGirt CMH™ continuous insulation system is durable enough to handle any cladding weight and materials, including terracotta’s heavyweight design. This article explains the benefits of using GreenGirt CMH with […]
Embodied Carbon: How GreenGirt CMH & SMARTci Systems Help Architects Reduce It
Sustainability is extending beyond operational energy efficiency. Architects increasingly recognize the critical role embodied carbon—the total greenhouse gas emissions generated by manufacturing, transporting, and installing building materials—plays in reducing a […]
Window Thermal Bridging: How To Close the Gap at Every Opening
Legacy framing systems fail to eliminate thermal bridging at the most crucial points for thermal loss in any building: windows and openings. Ignoring this issue results in thermal inefficiencies that […]
Thermally Broken Cladding Support System: What It Is & Why It Matters
Looking for the most effective ways to meet stringent energy code requirements while keeping up with sustainable construction trends? Thermally broken cladding support systems offer a critical intersection of energy […]
