Celebrate Earth Day! Have you ever seen a "Green Roof" ... yes, they exist, and they're environmentally friendly, and made to keep in the cool air in the summer and keep out the winter cold. A green roof system is incorporated into the existing roof which involves, high quality waterproofing, root repellent system, drainage system, filter cloth, a lightweight growing medium, and plants. Though you see more of this in some rooftops in the cities tall builders, it's becoming more popular, and are very popular in the UK. They can be attractive and utilitarian at the same time. #roofing #roofrepair #roofreplacement #roofcertificaton #woodallroofing #roofinspection #roof #williamsburgva #construction #roofingcontractor #roofer #roofingcompany #roofers #contractor #homeimprovement #roofrepair #roofersofinstagram #rooftop #newroof #roofingcontractors #roofreplacement #architecture #shingles #residentialroofing #flatroof #commercialroofing #metalroofing #roofingexperts

Highly reflective “cool” roofs are having their day in the sun. During the warmest weather, studies have indicated that they lower roof temperatures by up to 40% and decrease the amount of heat transferred into a building’s interior. That helps reduce energy needs for cooling, and using less energy not only saves money, it also reduces the amount of pollutants released into the atmosphere. Conklin Roofing Systems meet the very highest standards for energy efficiency. #ConklinCompanyInc #commercialroofing #roofing #roofingcontractor #roofingcompany #roofrepair #roofinglife #roofers #roof #roofer #construction #roofreplacement #roofingcontractors #newroof #metalroofing #flatroof #rooftop #contractor #roofs #roofingexperts #building #architecture #roofinspection

Extreme low temperatures are going to be hitting us next week, and we want to make sure your roof is in proper condition to face the risk that brings being below freezing. Homes in the south are not typically insulated to winter levels. You might think that insulation is important because it keeps the roof warm. But that is actually not the case. Proper insulation keeps the heat from escaping into the attic and warming the roof. Melted snow is the number one cause of ice dams on roofs. Insulation must cover the home’s ceiling level effectively so the attic stays as cold as possible in the wintertime. To ensure your roof is in great condition you can schedule your FREE inspection calling us at 225-747-0647 or visit www.oneroof-la.com WE ARE HERE TO HELP!!! #roofingcontractor #roofer #roofingcompany #roofers #contractor #roofing #roofrepair #roofingcontractors #louisiana #BatonRouge #roofingnearme #roofreplacement #roofs #fortifiedcertified #architecture #fortifiedroof #shingles #residentialroofing #flatroof #commercialroofing #fortified #metalroofing #roofingexperts #louisianafortifyhomes #louisianafortifyhomesprogram #fortifiedcontractor #stormready

Assistant Design Manager @ Albaltan Group | Lead Architect | LEED AP, Mostadam AP | Sustainable design expert creating eco-friendly buildings for a greener future
Green roofs offer many environmental benefits, from reducing heat island effect to rain-water management. In one perspective, it is quite simple. Plants control the water run-off caused by the rain and its properties do not absorb heat from sunlight. However, green roofs are designed with a fairly complicated system. Observing the system by layers, at the top, the greenery comes in. many types of vegetations are adaptive to the green roof system, yet depending on the building structure, a recommended weight will be provided by the system installer. And after determining the species of the plants, the depth of soil will be determined. Under the soil, a thin filtering layer to allow water to pass through without dirt or sedimentation and leads the water to the drainage layer. A protection mat and waterproof membrane are installed keeping any possibility of water or vapor to reach the surface of the actual roof and structure. #environment #environmentaldesign #environmental #leed #leedap #sustainability #sustainable #architecture #mostadam #design #architect #urbanplanning

The Kiwi CarPark System is a modular, engineered building system designed for efficient, low-maintenance parking structures. It uses advanced construction techniques, including prefabricated concrete decks and cambered steel beams, to create free-span parking bays without internal support columns. This design improves user safety by eliminating dark, hidden spaces and allows natural light to flood the structure. Key benefits include: 👍 Cost-efficiency: Less expensive to construct compared to traditional concrete parking structures. 👍 Low Maintenance: The concrete does not require an epoxy topping membrane. This makes maintenance costs 90% less than other structures. 👍 Accelerated Schedule: Significant reduction in construction time due to prefabricated elements. 👍 More Cars in Less Footprint: The compact design maximizes parking spaces, optimizing land use and increasing capacity. 👍 Adaptability: Fully customizable to the project's footprint with various façade options. 👍 Sustainability: Option to incorporate solar roofs and facades, reducing the carbon footprint 👍 Ultra-high performance concrete and galvanized steel ensure a 100+ year lifespan with minimal maintenance.

It's always exciting to see our clients embracing a more sustainable approach! When designing a slab-on-grade home, not only do we save on concrete costs (usually the priciest part), but we also cut down on greenhouse gas emissions. Concrete emits 26%-31% more greenhouse gases compared to wood, and it's often costlier. Why is this important? Think of your building as a thermal 'battery' that regulates indoor temperatures. Different construction types have varying capacities: 🌲 Wood frames: 2,500 Wh/K 🏗️ Concrete: 5,500 Wh/K To further enhance energy efficiency, we're also implementing thermal bridge-free details for the slab. This innovative design reduces heat loss, making your home even more eco-friendly and cost-effective. So, here are two eco-friendly and cost-effective alternatives to a basement: 1️⃣ Choose slab-on-grade construction, like wood frames, to reduce emissions and costs. 2️⃣ Consider an attic instead of a basement. This not only cuts concrete usage but also boosts energy efficiency. By making these choices and incorporating thermal bridge-free details, you're helping create a greener and budget-friendly project while optimizing energy efficiency. 🏡✅ Project: Private Residence, Oromocto, NB. Estimated completion in 2025 Summer. #SustainableLiving #GreenConstruction #EnergyEfficiency #osda #architecture #architect

Making a difference at scale!
High Performance: We’re grateful to be working with D.R. Horton and Accurate Insulation (IBP) on the West View multi-family development in Berlin, Maryland. Jefferson-model townhouses require a dense cavity and attic blanket insulation to reduce blower door numbers and improve the overall thermal performance of these Energy Star homes. Using TimberFill, D.R. Horton is achieving not only the energy efficiency required, but also gaining industry-leading sound dampening to keep homeowners happy. Just like good fences, good acoustic assemblies make good neighbors. #homeisDRHorton #americashomebuilder #workforcehousing #highperformance #insulation #builtenvironment #woodfiber #woodfiberinsulation #atticinsulation #builder #architecture #vaporopen #airtight #energyefficient #house #insulationcontractor #contractor #buildersofig #build #carbon #insulate #wallassembly #acousticinsulation #longliveourbuildings #buildingscience #buildingscience101 #constructionlife #woodisgood #timberhp #timberfill #timberbatt #timberboard #insulatebetterlivebetter

Let’s talk about frames… Two of the most popular choices for building frames in Australia are timber and steel. Timber framing- Renewable and natural Flexible - can be changed on site to suit Usually readily available Easy to work with Steel framing - Strong Lightweight 100% recyclable Precise measurements Constructed on site or manufactured off-site So... which is best? Ultimately, this comes down to personal preference. We encourage you to discuss the options with your selected builder.
