Insulation units provide a simple, robust and reliable solution, helping projects meet regulatory standards while ...

As the AEC community looks to achieve ever more energy-efficient buildings, Owens Corning is introducing a solution to improve thermal performance, increase energy efficiency and minimize performance ...

Thermal bridges represent discontinuities in the insulation layer of building envelopes, where conductive materials enable an increased rate of heat transfer between the interior and exterior ...

For any construction project in the 21st century, achieving energy-efficiency is a prime directive. Among the arsenal of tools available to builders charged with constructing exterior walls, insulated ...

Haley Mast is a freelance writer, fact-checker, and small organic farmer in the Columbia River Gorge. She enjoys gardening, reporting on environmental topics, and spending her time outside ...

The thermal analysis and design of bridge structures encompasses the study of temperature distributions and the resulting thermal stresses and deformations within bridge components. With bridges ...

Across climate zones, rising codes are increasing awareness of the role continuous insulation (ci) plays in helping buildings meet and exceed energy efficiency thresholds. But while thermal efficiency ...

Exterior cladding contributes significantly to the appearance of buildings, but it can also perform other important functions, such as shielding interiors from sound or the sun’s UV rays.

A new technical paper titled “Liquid-infused nanostructured composite as a high-performance thermal interface material for effective cooling” was published by researchers at Carnegie Mellon University ...

Due to the rail-bridge thermal interaction, the high additional axial force in continuously welded rails on continuous bridges may lead to rail buckling or breaking. However, there is little research ...
