Curtain wall buildings, such as skyscrapers, with their large window-to-wall ratio, are often not energy efficient because of poor insulation. RetroWAL™ is an interior curtain wall retrofit system by Thermolite Windows that has been found to improve energy performance in buildings by
The Obama administration announced its new regulations for reducing carbon emissions from fossil fuel burning power plants by 30% by 2030, or roughly equivalent to the emissions used to power more than half of the homes in the US for one year. The Clean Power Plan proposal from the U.
As the demand for more energy efficient building technologies, such as heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) grows, Energy Service Companies (ESCOs) have also become more in-demand. ESCOs work with organizations to design and implement retrofit projects that will improve t
Thermolite’s RetroWAL™ interior curtain wall retrofit system disproves the myth that solar film is the only affordable solution for temperature control – it has been found to improve energy performance in an already retro-commissioned building. South Bend, Indiana (PRWEB) May 22
When most existing buildings were built, energy efficiency was not a major concern. Curtain wall buildings from 1950 to 1975 most always contained 1/4 glass in their facades that provides very little insulation. To further complicate the issue, many of these buildings have not undergo
