Improving the Energy Performance of Buildings By Using the Right Materials, the Right Way – Peter Dushenski – Episode 13

Improving the energy performance and sustainability of our buildings will require both new techniques and new materials. In this episode, Peter Dushenski from GlasCurtain explains how we can dramatically improve the energy performance of glazing systems by using FRP framing. The energy leak points in most buildings are at the interfaces – the seams where two different systems or materials come together. The glass framing is one such interface and it can have a profound impact on overall building envelope thermal performance. Peter explains how GlasCurtain used the right materials, the right way, to radically improve the insulation on glazing systems and drive higher window-to-wall ratios.
