Energy Retrofits & Building Renovations
Energy efficiency retrofits and other building renovations for commercial or residential building constructions can be a very cost effective endeavor when PermaTherm Insulated Metal Panels are used. For example, a warehouse design conversion can yield significant energy cost reductions. Similarly, energy retrofits to achieve green building standards increase sustainability if not zero-energy. Additionally:
- Metal SIPs are manufactured in a variety of thicknesses between 2 inches and 12 inches, allowing achievement of high energy efficiencies to meet green construction standards;
- Unique tongue, groove, & spline systems make PermaTherm structural insulated panels easy to retrofit over or within existing buildings, achieving tight connections without thermal shorts;
- Prefabrication and modular green construction designs can minimize retrofit costs;
- PermaTherm panel accessories and attachment details ensure tight seams between any configuration or angle of walls, roof, and floors;
- Structural Panels up to 60 feet long with high strength can accommodate tall structures and/or broad spans;
- Light weight, easy to ship, store and handle;
- Can be manufactured with recycled content, and is recyclable;
- No CFC's or HCFC's are utilized in the manufacturing processing, achieving either zero or very low ODP and GWP;
- PermaTherm's green building panels are impervious to moisture and weather and do not require additional siding or vapor barriers;
