Helen Sanders' July blog "Decarbonizing Daylight: Is Comfortable, Low-Carbon Daylighting in Buildings Possible?" has posted on usglassmag.com. In this blog Helen discusses her thoughts on the challenges to achieving comfortable, low-carbon lighting in buildings. When considering the decarbonization of lighting, the focus must first be on providing daylight rather than electric light. Real, not artificially created, daylight is needed to deliver spaces that are compatible with human health and well-being.

The optimum solution for increased thermal performance is on the edge, High-performance fenestration is a key component of delivering a comfortable and energy efficient built environment. To achieve this, a durable, thermally optimized edge bond for insulating glass is required. Incorporating Technoform’s plastic hybrid stainless steel warm edge spacer in fenestration improves thermal performance and condensation resistance without sacrificing durability or design. https://lnkd.in/e-qdviAj
Warme-Kante-Lösung für moderne Isolierglassysteme 🏢 Um den Ansprüchen moderner Isolierglassysteme gerecht zu werden, wurde unser Warme-Kante-Abstandhalter SP14 entwickelt. Dieser eignet sich für alle gängigen Rahmengrößen und überzeugt durch seine hervorragende thermische Leistung, Langlebigkeit und Verarbeitungsqualität. Zusätzliche Stahldrähte sorgen für eine hohe Profilstabilität im Verarbeitungsprozess. Mit niedrigen Psi-Werten und hoher Produktivität ist der SP14 die ideale Lösung für Standard-Isolierglas. 💡 https://lnkd.in/e6_EZGYB #Abstandhalter #Isolierglas #Fenster #WarmeKante #Lösungen #Innovationen #Zukunft #Bauen #Sanieren #Langlebigkeit #Effizienz

Well said Adrian Lowenstein, P.E., MBA incorporating durable plastic hybrid stainless steel warm edge spacer in fenestration improves thermal performance and condensation resistance without sacrificing durability or design. #Technoform #thermalperformance #warmedgespacer
An IGU spacer is far more than just a divider between glass panes - it serves a primary function in system performance & durability. ▪️Desiccant - particles that will further dry out the cavity ▪️Moister barrier - preventing moisture from entering cavity ▪️Gas seal - preventing loss of argon within cavity ▪️Adhesion surface - adequate substrate for perimeter sealant ▪️Stresses - via positive/negative pressures, thermal pressure etc. ▪️Insulator - slowing heat transfer via conduction Choose your spacer type and material wisely for insulated glass unit longevity.

Enhancing aluminum fenestration with advanced polymer thermal barrier technology. Stricter building codes and market demands call for better thermal performance in aluminum fenestration. A groundbreaking technology is now solving a key challenge: sealant adhesion to polymers. This newly available technology modifies the thermal barrier's surface to provide the same level of adhesion to sealants as provided by finished aluminum and without the need for surface primers. Discover how this innovation delivers additional freedom for using polyamide thermal barriers even more widely in fenestration system design, particularly in areas where structural adhesion is critical.

Great video on Architectural Record by LMN Architects on the approach to Seattle Convention Center (SCC) Summit building’s design. The building features striking curtain wall that includes Technoform North America’s best-in-class building envelope products. Supporting the SCC project’s multiple goals for overall sustainability, energy efficiency and indoor comfort, Technoform’s products help Summit achieve high thermal and acoustic performance, resist condensation, and enhance the building’s appearance and longevity. · For the insulating glass units (IGUs) that compose the convention center’s curtain wall, CareyGlass International selected Technoform’s plastic hybrid stainless steel (PHSS) warm-edge spacer as its edge seal solution. · The aluminum-framed curtain wall, manufactured and installed by Enclos, also integrates Technoform’s polyamide thermal barriers throughout the fenestration assembly. #technoform #curtainwall #thermalperformance #LEED
Just watched an insightful 5-minute video by LMN architects discussing the rationale behind the WSCC building in Seattle. It's fascinating to see how Architects approach their craft. The glazing is a prominent feature in the design, and I'm proud to mention that Carey Glass significantly contributed to both the exterior envelope and interior glazing. #Architecture #Design #Seattle #CareyGlass #WSCC #LMNArchitects https://lnkd.in/eD2Hp4pj

Technoform North America's Helen Sanders shares her thoughts on the realities and future of importing facade materials and assemblies with Adrian Lowenstein, P.E., MBA's and Spencer Culhane on the All Things Facades podcast.
The reality of importing facade materials and assemblies - what does the future look like? There are so many factors that come into play: ▪️What does your labor pool look like? ▪️What are the suppliers set up build/assemble for their specific market? ▪️Are we looking to globalize the facade market? I don’t really have any answers here - just thoughts. Thoughts do further spark the conversation and create a dialogue to ask the right questions for your specific project.
