As the need to reduce carbon emissions increases, why are thermal breaks not more widely used in constructions projects?

Thermal bridging can occur in a variety of different parts of the building envelope. Find out more and solutions to prevent heat transfer.

Steel framing has long been extensively used throughout the building industry. In fact, steel frames account for more than 50% of all commercial and multifamily, multi-storey construction.

Energy conservation in buildings is dependent on well fitting, continuous insulation. Poorly fitting or breaches in the insulation coverage result in energy losses that could be avoided.

A luxury hotel in Yorkshire has improved its energy efficiency by up to 60% with an innovative thermal bridging solution delivered by Armadillo, as part of a £9.5 million refurbishment project.

The majority of commercial buildings are designed with a flat roof, offering extra space for equipment such as HVAC units, roof screens and solar panels. Although this structure can provide extra space for these systems, the way in which the supporting elements that pass through the roof are connected to avoid energy transfer isn’t always considered.

Armatherm™ has partnered with Hanley Wood to offer an informative webinar on the subject of thermal bridging. Developed to educate architects, this will provide an opportunity to earn important CEU credits, necessary to continue practicing within the architectural profession.

Armatherm and Armadillo NV are pleased to announce that as of November 1st, 2017 the companies have relocated. The nearly 8,000 square foot facility is located at 1 Titleist Drive, Acushnet, MA 02743.
