DELAND, Fla. – Kingspan Insulated Panels North
America, a global manufacturer of insulated metal panels, announced the
availability of its newPath to NetZero™ mobile app. Introduced at
Greenbuild 2010, this unique tool for the building industry simulates the
process of achieving high-performance and net-zero buildings.
“The new app instructs users to select one of four cities, a building
type (school, office, or warehouse) and a baseline building designed to ASHRAE
90.1.2004,” said Paul Bertram, Jr., FCI, CDT, LEED AP, director, environment and
sustainability at Kingspan Insulated Panels North America. “Users then choose a
Kingspan insulated roof and wall system and compare savings. Benchmarks for the
tool are aligned with the Department of Energy Commercial Building Initiative
and U.S. Green Building Council Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design
(LEED) 2009/3.0 requirements.”
Designed for iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch and Android mobile devices, the
free app is also available at www.pathtonetzero.com.
The iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch apps are currently available, with the
Android app launching end of February. Visitors to the microsite can find
exclusive information on net-zero energy building and request an energy analysis
of their buildings.
ThePath to NetZerois based on an EnvelopeFirst study
commissioned by Kingspan and conducted by the Architectural Energy Corporation.
The study, which simulated three buildings in four locations, indicated that
continuous insulation with high effective R-value and superior airtightness
achieved significant energy savings, followed by renewables such as
photovoltaics (PVs).
