S-5! together with software developer PVComplete launches its new web-based solar calculator, designed to create sophisticated solar project layouts for standing seam and exposed-fastened metal roofs.

Diamond Schmitt’s innovative architectural design includes a four-story, skylit atrium; a 650-seat auditorium and connecting helical staircase; and a U-shaped block of daylit residential and study spaces.

Kingspan’s upgraded Modesto, California manufacturing facility now uses upcycled plastic bottles in manufacturing, adding PV solar roof.

The team selected mini clamps to secure solar panels to the standing seam metal roof of the manufacturing facility, allowing for a rail-less PV mounting solution.

It takes a combination of intentional design, building envelope maintenance and effective materials to minimize heat loss in commercial buildings

Vitro Architectural Glass announced that it has launched Solarban R77 solar control, low-emissivity glass, which unites a crisp, neutrally reflective silver-blue aesthetic with building-code-friendly solar performance.

The owner’s goal was to construct a multi-purpose building that would also serve as a mounting platform for a 28.35 kilowatt PV solar system, which would provide 100% of the electricity needs for the entire equestrian ranch property

As solar mounting technologies evolve to improve installation efficiencies and reduce material and labor costs, often developers and installers on the job site find it daunting to keep abreast of changing technologies and adapt their operating procedures accordingly.

Sessions link weather patterns, changing climate to need for building innovations.

The original R-panel metal roofing on the plant, constructed in the 1970s, was recovered by a symmetrical standing seam roofing
