To minimize the resulting effect of full sun on the south side of the building, the project team introduced sunshades along the lengths of 13 floors. Each 100 foot-long sunshade, however, presented a potential thermal bridge where it attaches to the interior building slabs via steel brackets. The team avoided the problem by specifying structural thermal breaks.

The architects at Perkins and Will envisioned a modern and distinctive façade for Union on 24th. Their objective was to deliver a finished look that was both elegant and low-maintenance, and on time.

Located in the Short North Arts District of Columbus, OH, is GreenHouse Short North, a new seven-story, mixed-use development with 158 units. The exterior features approximately 64,000 square feet of Omega-Lite® by Laminators Incorporated.

Integrating daylighting devices reduced energy consumption and maximized natural light. By replacing the traditional clerestories used in the first two regional libraries with Solatube TDDs and acrylic panels, a visually striking skylight effect was achieved, enhancing both aesthetics and sustainability.

Reoccurring roof leaks were becoming a problem with the original standing seam metal roof at this hub of activity. The project required 4,600 linear feet of Roof Hugger’s Model T, a 4-1/2-inch-tall sub-purlin for typical 24-inch on-center rib trapezoidal standing seam panel.

The construction of the new 770,000 square-foot facility represented Bombardier’s commitment to sustainability. Coinciding with Bombardier’s goal to reduce energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions, insulated metal panels (IMPs) were a strong choice for the building material.

Increasingly, our schools need to be well-appointed places of modern learning and also durable structures in the event of natural disasters such as Florida’s seasonal hurricanes.

Serving 750 students in grades 5 and 6, Azle Elementary School features several Tubelite aluminum framing systems for resilient, continuous use in the warm Texas climate.

Presenting a welcoming, business-friendly palette, Linetec finished all of Tubelite’s aluminum framing systems using a Light Seawolf Beige color and thermally improved the system for optimal performance in the hot, humid climate.

To refresh its appearance and update its performance, Super Sky teamed with Skylight Partners of America to repair and replace the existing skylight. Where necessary, Super Sky manufactured and installed new aluminum framing systems.
