"R" Your Walls Meeting Their Full Potential?
For many years, Dow insulation experts have worked to educate the industry about the value of continuous insulation in blocking thermal bridging and helping improve thermal performance of wall assemblies. But now, in six out of eight U.S. climate zones, continuous insulation is no longer simply a value-added option. It's required, according to ASHRAE 90.1-2007. If you want your buildings to meet today's more stringent energy codes, an understanding of the ASHRAE prescriptive requirements is essential. Using typical assemblies, it is physically impossible to design a steel stud wall system with a system R-value over R-10.

In the LEED In conjunction with other items found in a steel stud wall design, the THERMAX™ Wall System can contribute to USGBC LEED points for new construction and major renovations. For details, download the THERMAX™ Wall System and LEED Information Sheet (371KB PDF). The THERMAX™ Wall System is just one example of Dow's commitment to a more sustainable future and how Dow Building Solutions has embraced the challenge of Architecture 2030 to achieve carbon neutrality in new buildings by 2030. |
