Future-Proofing Commercial Buildings: Embracing the New ENERGY STAR Standards

On August 26, 2024, the ENERGY STAR program raised the bar for commercial new construction and major renovation projects in the U.S. to earn the “Designed to Earn the ENERGY STAR” recognition. Previously, projects needed to achieve an estimated total annual energy use design score of 75 or higher. Now, that threshold has increased to…

Demystifying U-Factor, U-Value, and R-Value: Key Metrics for Energy-Efficient Fenestration

In the fenestration industry, understanding thermal performance metrics like U-factor, U-value, and R-value is crucial for designing and selecting energy-efficient windows, doors, and curtain walls. These terms describe how well a product resists heat flow, which directly impacts a building’s energy efficiency, comfort, and overall performance. For architects, builders, and specifiers, knowing the differences and…

Understanding the Difference Between Solid Polyurethane and Polyurethane Foam in Thermal Break Technologies for Fenestration

In the world of commercial building design, energy efficiency is a top priority. With the increasing emphasis on sustainability and reducing operational costs, the choice of materials in fenestration plays a critical role in achieving these goals. Thermal break technologies, which prevent heat transfer through window and door frames, are key to improving the energy…

The Crucial Role of Thermal Barriers in Mitigating Operational Carbon Emissions in Commercial Buildings

  In the realm of sustainable building practices, the spotlight often falls on reducing upfront carbon emissions through eco-friendly materials and construction methods. However, the ongoing operational carbon output of commercial buildings tends to linger unnoticed. Addressing this oversight is crucial, and fenestration system thermal barriers emerge as indispensable allies in the quest to lower…
Two aluminum window frame extrusions, one thermal barrier cavity contains a Polyamide strip with a hollow center and the other is completely encapsulated with an Azon polyurethane polymer.

Polyamide vs. Polyurethane Thermal Barriers

The US Department of Energy reports that windows account for nearly 40% of energy loss in commercial buildings. To improve the overall energy efficiency of a building and adhere to increasingly stringent energy codes, the use of thermally broken aluminum window fenestration has become a standard practice.
