Heat transfer through building facades can occur by any combinations of conduction, convection, and/or radiation. Conductive heat transfer depends on…
This article presents results of a research study that focuses on understanding energy performance of novel facade systems that integrate thermoelect…
Thermal bridging through building facades have been overlooked or over-simplified by designers and building energy codes and standards in the past, which has led to higher space heating and cooling loads, occupant discomfort, and higher risk of condensation.
The gap between simulated and actual energy performance has hobbled progress towards important carbon reduction goals in buildings and urban habitat. This summit advocates the need for improved energy modeling and the development of best practices, with emphasis on the building façade.
FreMarq engineers and fabricates high performing thermal fenestration products, curtain wall, fixed windows, window walls, vents and sunshades. Our primary focus is to reduce the energy consumption and carbon footprint of commercial buildings by improving the thermal efficiency of its envelope.
Analyzing the energy performance of complex building envelopes, determining the need for sun protection, and assessing the effectiveness of shading d…
The European climate and energy targets for 2020 demand significant improvement of the energy performance of buildings since one third of the end-use…
Don't just wait for the future, build it. NZ23, the world's largest net zero conference, is building a #NetZeroFuture for all. Learn more & register at www.NetZeroConference.com
The journey to a zero net energy (ZNE) future starts with renovating the current paradigm of building design. The way buildings are designed today needs a retrofit in thinking so new projects meet the challenges of the global climate crisis.
