Very interesting development in Green Building Technology. And it's been around forever!
Ancient Roman Concrete Is About to Revolutionize Modern Architecture Portland cement can't match the staying power of its Roman predecessor, and researchers now know why
We are excited to announce the award of a new patent for an enhancement to the ThermaChannel stud. It will feature foam insulation in the fl**ge cavity. We will be testing this new design this year and will post a photo as soon as we have a prototype.
With funding tight for construction, people should be looking for high-value, low-cost ways for higher efficiency. Voila ThermaChannel!
Check out the Oregon Sustainability Center in Portland. Looks like it is going forward for Fall of 2011! ThermaChannel would love to be a part of this!!
Oregon Sustainability Center - Oregon Sustainability Center | Home The Oregon Sustainability Center will be home to Oregon's leaders in sustainable business, government, and education. It will act as a laboratory for green technology regionally and globally, designed to be the greenest high-rise ever built — sourcing its materials locally, creating its own energy,
Looking into Hawaiian code issues. Let us know if this is of interest.
Architects and developers: can you please comment on the demand for higher performing steel framing, with regards to thermal? Believe it or not, manufacturers perceive "no" demand for such innovations -- truly mind boggling. Comment!!
Currently eyeing testing for various wall assemblies for high-performance energy efficiency in wall assemblies at a low cost.
Summer 2010 new design patent filed for ThermaChannel Ultra, even more energy efficient steel framing, insulated steel studs.
Long suspected, ThermaChannel is investigating the acoustical benefit of our stud designs for exterior walls. Mainly thought of as an exterior wall product, the acoustical performance could make ThermaChannel an interior framing product, as well.
