As heat alerts affected nearly 110 million people, a third of the U.S. population across 15 states, the U.S. Department of Energy published a new report on July 13 called "Enhancing Resilience in Buildings Through Energy Efficiency."
More than 50 school leaders from 16 states traveled to the nation’s capital last week for the first-ever Clean Energy Schools Symposium – a national convening of school decisionmakers who have flipped the switch to clean energy at their schools and are actively inspiring and supporting other schools across the country to do the same.
Duro-Last’s systems will complement and strengthen Holcim’s integrated roofing offer, with expected synergies of USD 60 million per year. With this acquisition, Holcim roofing systems will exceed USD 4 billion in net sales ahead of schedule.
The Energy Management Association is teaming up with NFRC to outline the impact of energy efficient fenestration in commercial buildings, the opportunities for new construction and full fenestration retrofits, and how you can make fenestration part of an overall energy efficiency plan that meets code requirements.
Inherent in their makeup, metal roofs are sustainable, durable, and last about three times longer than other roofs. They help to trap less heat and cool a building down quicker.
Skylab Architecture led the design of all aspects of this complex building and program, including core and shell, interior design and furniture selection, and branding integration.
The developers are aiming for LEED Platinum Certification, as well as compliance with Toronto Green Standard (TGS) requirements. In effect since 2010, the TGS sets tiered energy, emissions, and sustainability benchmarks for new buildings to support Toronto’s goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions to net zero by 2050.
Previously only offered in Southwestern states, the systems have been rolled out nationally to meet growing demand for roof restorations that both extend a roofing system’s useful life and enhance the building’s energy efficiency.
Energy efficiency is an increasingly crucial consideration for construction firms today. As sustainable building regulations and businesses’ green initiatives rise, construction professionals must find new ways to make buildings more energy-efficient.
