The 8-acre campus design included a complete overhaul of three out of four older buildings. One demolished building was replaced by the main campus building with an iconic 70-foot-tall atrium as its focal point. The stunningly transparent atrium consists of a glass roof, a glass soffit and three glass walls that are each over 50’ tall.
Forward thinking sustainable strategies were introduced,...
The construction industry is a demanding sector, requiring durable and sturdy materials and components. Widely used in the building sector as thermally insulating components, the possibilities for innovative plastics are endless. Our high-end extrusion process enables the integration of the most varied of functions in the plastic components to suit individual applications and requirements, and...
“The greenest commercial building in the world,” boasts the Bullitt Center’s website. Through the International Living Future Institute, Living Building Challenge (LBC) certification poses the most rigorous performance standards across the globe. Validation includes submitting 12 months of post-occupancy data to demonstrate annual operations for...
With so much complex electronics and technology onboard, the average modern aircraft requires between 70 to 300 miles of wire. To ensure the safety of both passengers and crew, it is imperative that these aviation cables be securely stowed away. That's a lot of cable management, and weight is a crucial factor in aviation. Using strong but lightweight plastics is an ideal way to ensure weight...
In addition to energy efficiency, quality and durability play an increasingly important role in the sustainability of insulating glass units (IGUs).
In sustainable construction, a thermally optimized as well as optimally coordinated glass edge bond with multiple glazing is therefore indispensable.
The individual components such as spacers, sealants, desiccants, connectors and glass need to...
