Our special coatings section is back and bigger than ever before. Browse through technical articles including a thought piece on making building materials last longer, and how owners and managers of commercial buildings are looking for ways to lower their building's energy consumption. Demand for coated metal in applications and segments like metal roofing and building and construction is rising exponentially, fueled by a global boom in commercial, residential and industrial construction and renovation activity. We discuss this concept and much more. We've also gathered some leading manufacturers for an important round table discussing the coatings trends we're currently seeing, how COVID has impacted the industry and what the future may hold. We hope you enjoy this issue of Building Enclosure!
In an effort to reduce operating costs, shrink power plant-generated greenhouse gas emissions, obtain green building certifications, and make building materials last longer, owners and managers of commercial buildings are looking for ways to lower their building's energy consumption.
