AAMA 320-24, Guidelines for Quality Welding, Bonding, Manufacturing and Ventilation of Thermoplastic (PVC) Extrusion Based Fenestration Products, an FGIA document, is now available.
Effective insulation strategies that enhance energy efficiency, prevent moisture intrusion, and contribute to a durable and sustainable structure are crucial in this process.
Understanding the impact of fasteners penetrating through the control layers responsible for keeping the building dry and comfortable is critical to long-term sustainability both in terms of durability and energy performance.
Vitro Architectural Glass announced that one of its highest-performing products, VacuMax™ Vacuum Insulating Glass (VIG), has been refined to deliver even better thermal performance and improved aesthetics.
Efficiency and durability are also major contributing factors to a building’s sustainability. The roof and exterior building envelope systems are the first line of defense when looking to reduce carbon emissions and energy use, as well as ensure a building can stand the test of time.
Standing 366 feet tall and 516 feet wide, MSG Sphere is the largest spherical structure in the world. Designed by Populous, it features a 580,000-square-foot LED wrap-around exterior, covered in 1.2 million LED lights.
Although both wet-bulb globe temperature and Heat Index take into consideration dry-bulb temperature and relative humidity, Heat Index is calculated specifically for outdoor shaded areas and does not consider conductive heat transfer from wind speed or the heat stress added by direct sun exposure.
The YWW 60 XT completes YKK AP’s line of window wall systems to deliver unmatched thermal performance and design versatility for cold weather climates.
