Adding traditional solar has been the go-to solution for renewable energy, but what if other passive areas of the building envelope could be used more intelligently as well? One Silicon Valley company is doing just that. We asked Veeral Hardev, VP of Strategy at Ubiquitous Energy, what he thought about these changes. 

The Spring 2022 edition is jammed packed with technical articles describing the challenges of meeting increasingly stringent standards to support energy-efficient building construction. 

Thanks to its improving versatility and elite durability, metal is truly a top-of-the-line construction solution.

Sustainability is too often seen as an afterthought to how we design and construct buildings.

EIA’s most recent data reports that energy-efficient, multi-paned windows are featured in 60 percent of U.S. buildings, which account for 75 percent of commercial floorspace. This presents a significant opportunity to improve existing buildings and to construct new buildings with energy-efficient daylight openings, including polycarbonate glazing and wall systems.

Metal panels or facades are becoming increasingly popular with new designers and architects. So why do architects love exterior metal panels?

The University of California, Irvine’s new Interdisciplinary Science and Engineering Building was designed with three major performance and aesthetic goals in mind: natural lighting, energy efficiency and sustainable design.

Energy-efficient building is one of the most important trends in construction today. As climate issues grow increasingly prevalent, construction firms face rising pressure to create more eco-friendly buildings.

The transaction, which is expected to close in the fourth quarter 2021, subject to customary closing conditions, includes the ArmorWall brand, patented technology, and a manufacturing facility in Salisbury, N.C.
