ROCKWOOL is giving architects, specifiers, contractors, and installers a new option for creating high-performance exterior wall assemblies with the launch of ROCKWOOL Smartrock.

On June 13^th we’ll be hosting a free webinar, “Managing Roofing Risks: Air and Vapor Control.” To talk about this upcoming webinar, I’m joined by our presenter, Scott Wood, a Senior Building Scientist at VaproShield.

The DuPont ArmorWall System is a premium, high-performance wall assembly, incorporating five traditional building enclosure elements: structural sheathing, fire-resistance, continuous air barrier, water-resistive and vapor control barrier and low-GWP continuous insulation layer.

The Fenestration and Glazing Industry Alliance has released a new Technical Bulletin providing standardized test method, sample configuration and units for reporting purposes for the transmission rate of moisture vapor pertaining to insulating glass units.

Whether it is designing for a residential property, a multifamily development, or commercial projects, architects and designers must consider several major factors.

Protecting you from the harsh elements of mother nature, HomeGuard housewrap excels in air and water resistance, moisture vapor permeability and durability.

The Winter 2022 edition features two CEU articles to earn continuing education credits. These articles cover roofs for cold storage buildings and low-slope roofing air barriers and vapor retarders. 

There is one type of refrigeration cycle that has the potential to provide clean, low-carbon air conditioning: absorption refrigeration.

Every air conditioning unit that uses vapor compression refrigeration contains chemical refrigerant mixes that absorb and release heat to enable a cooling effect through heat transfer.

The refrigeration machine of a mechanical system is that component that removes thermal energy (heat) from one location and transfers it to another location by inducing a cycle of heat exchange.
