| When people think of the
environment, they invariable think of forests, rivers, and
other parts of the natural environment. They probably don't
think of buildings, though.
Buildings, however, are a significant part of the environment.
In fact, a large portion of our natural resources go towards
constructing and sustaining homes, schools, and other facilities.
It is not surprising then, that the construction industry
has experienced a renewed interest in environmentally responsible
building. Referred to as 'green building', emphasis has been
placed on creating structures that enhance the lives of the
people who work and live in them while lessening the impact
they have on natural resources.
The THERMOMASS Building Insulation System can help.
THERMOMASS walls are designed to perform above all energy
efficiency standards currently in place. Massive wall systems
like insulated sandwich panels delay the transfer of energy,
helping to lower the peak energy use of buildings and shift
power usage to off-peak times. This helps designers effectively
create buildings that save energy from the very first day
of operation.
THERMOMASS walls are also built to be durable and long-lasting.
The components of a THERMOMASS insulated wall will not corrode
or deteriorate over time, meaning your facility will not need
to be replaced for many decades and probably much longer.
Additionally, the reinforced concrete used to manufacture
the panels may contain recycled content, depending on local
conditions and producers.
