Join us on Wednesday, October 16 for our next free webinar, Mind the Gap, presented by Geoff Duck and Michael Bousfield: As North American jurisdictions adopt Building Energy Performance Standards (BEPS) that go beyond ASHRAE requirements, a new approach to exterior wall assemblies is needed. This educational event will explore how thermal bridging affects compliance with BEPS and ASHRAE, emphasizing the importance of considering component performance across multiple facets. Attendees will learn about common insulation methods—interior, split, and exterior—and strategies to limit thermal bridging through effective cladding attachments. The session will highlight the role of thermally broken connections, which use low thermal conductivity materials to minimize heat transfer and enhance energy efficiency. Real-world case studies will be reviewed to illustrate how these strategies lead to significant energy savings and improved compliance with BEPS.

#ApplicationOfTheWeek 💡❄️ #ChilledWater systems are used in a variety of applications for the efficient distribution of both heated and chilled water, particularly in #ClimateControl applications in large-scale environments such as large buildings, industrial processes, and infrastructure that require consistent, #EnergyEfficient cooling solutions. #GFPipingSystems' #PreInsulated piping systems 👉 #COOLFIT not only ensure optimal energy efficiency and reduced environmental impact, but they also feature advanced jointing technologies, such as #electrofusion, which simplify and accelerate the installation process, especially in spaces with limited room. This innovation allows for precise, secure connections that minimize downtime and labor costs, making it an ideal solution for modern, space-constrained building projects. 🛠️🚀 https://lnkd.in/ghKPfUj8 Contact us for more details 📞 https://lnkd.in/gZFdrPCa

When evaluating the performance of a glazing system, Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC) is a metric you'll want to consider. Solar Heat Gain Coefficient measures solar radiation passing through the glazing system, which has an impact on cooling loads and overall energy efficiency. Put in simpler terms, SHGC refers to how much solar radiation is admitted through a window, door, or skylight and subsequently released as heat inside the building. SHGC can range in value from 0 to 1. A product with a lower SHGC rating will transmit less solar heat and possess greater shading ability, while a product with a high SHGC rating is more effective at collecting solar heat and releasing it into the building. Though a lower SHGC rating might seem more desirable, there are scenarios in which a product with a high SHGC is beneficial. Whether you need a glazing system with a lower or higher SHGC rating will depend on several factors, including your climate and the window's placement. We always recommend seeking expert guidance when assessing and selecting a glazing solution. Working with a reputable contract glazier can make all the difference when it comes to optimizing building performance and occupant comfort, long after the project is completed. #CommercialGlazing #WindowGlazing #TheMoreYouKnow #Construction #EnergyEfficiency
