Materials installed behind the 225-foot museum tower’s impressive granite façade include 130,000 square feet of continuous insulation.

Low-slope roofing manufacturer MuleHide has expanded its offering of White-on-Black Self-Adhering (SA) EPDM and Poly ISO 1 flat insulation, adding new membrane and panel sizes that streamline installation.

This article explores the significant design, engineering, and long-term performance benefits of an integrated rainscreen system compared to a non-integrated component assembly.

Kingspan’s insulated metal panels (IMPs) were selected by Industrial Refrigeration & Design, Inc. as the building envelope to deliver the high level of thermal performance required for freezer and cooler applications.

The days of designing the look of a building and "figuring out the details later" are over. The demands of energy efficiency and fire safety require a holistic, integrated approach.

Kingspan Insulated Panels North America, a leader in high-performance building materials, launched its KingRib Wall insulated metal panels (IMPs), the latest addition to its portfolio of advanced building solutions.

Both ASHRAE 90.1-2022 and the 2024 IECC are published and available for adoption. Adoption will vary by region, but the direction is clear: expectations for tighter, more resilient building envelopes continue to rise as more municipalities move toward these standards into 2026.

This article explores how properly designed wall systems can reduce airborne particulates, improve thermal continuity, minimise condensation risk, and contribute to healthier indoor environments across seasons.

Recent studies have shown that CI alone may not be enough for a building to achieve its designed level of energy efficiency. It’s time to look beyond CI alone and consider a holistic approach to façade design.
