IMPs consist of an outer skin that serves as either metal wall siding or metal roofing, and an inner face that serves as a metal interior finish or liner, with insulation sandwiched between these metal skins.

For wall cladding and roofing systems, architectural zinc’s inherent metallic properties can help reduce buildings’ operational carbon footprints, and improve their energy-efficient, climate-resilient, long-lasting performance.

The American Iron and Steel Institute has published a new research report, “RP23-01: Analytical Equations for Critical Local Buckling Stress of Lipped Channels.”

BASF, with its Neopor GPS graphite polystyrene rigid foam insulation suitable for precast insulated wall panels, has joined AltusGroup as its 10th Innovation Partner.

Building Enclosure was recently joined by Brian Pallasch, EVP/CEO, IBBEC. Brian sat down with us to talk about the Moving Forward report. Each year, The National Institute of Building Sciences Consultative Council publishes the Moving Forward Report to investigate critical challenges facing the building industry.

YKK AP America Inc. and cove.tool have announced a partnership to make it quicker and easier for architects to reach their project’s carbon, cost and energy performance goals.

Pressure is mounting for the building and construction industry to become more sustainable. Designing more energy-efficient buildings is part of that, but reducing embodied carbon is a more pressing — and often challenging — issue.

According to the latest determinations issued by the U.S. Department of Energy, ASHRAE Standard 90.1-2019 would achieve greater energy efficiency in commercial buildings compared to the previous edition (2016) of the standard.
