Insulated Panel Roofing
Insulated panel sandwich roofs are an excellent way to enhance a building’s energy efficiency. Typically, these roofs are used in new construction projects. However, there are cases where they are employed to replace existing roofs on buildings. In this blog post, we will discuss both scenarios.
Installation of solar panels on insulated panel roofs of prefabricated buildings
Solar energy is a sustainable and renewable energy source that is increasingly being used around the world. Solar panels can be installed on a wide variety of surfaces, but one of the most popular options is the placement of solar panels on insulated panel roofs on prefabricated steel buildings. In this blog post, we will […]
R-Value thermal resistance and building insulation
Abstract In the technical environments of building construction, it is increasingly common to hear questions about the R-value of the materials to be used in the building. In conversations between engineers and designers, the terms passive construction, thermal conductivity, and heat transfer are common when outlining the characteristics of a building. These expressions have their […]
5 pros and cons of prefab homes vs. containers homes
Abstract The construction industry keeps reinventing itself with new solutions and taking advantage of optimization, low impact or recycling and reuse trends that many people demand. Expressions such as “low ecological impact”, “carbon footprint” and “reuse” are some of the mantras that a significant percentage of the population is incorporating into their daily lives. This […]
5 aspects to consider for the building facade
Constructing a Memorable Building Facade Facades are part of the building’s identity. They are the first expression and image that people perceive and condition the way people think about the use of the building. They represent the personality of the property and are its form of presentation to the environment. In this article, we will […]
Fire protection for metal structures
Fire protection When constructing buildings with metal structures, one of the questions that often arises is how do we protect these structures in case of fire? In this post, we will discuss the passive protection systems that allow us to guarantee the stability of the metallic structure in case of fire. We will provide an […]
Are steel structures resistant to natural disasters?
Natural Disasters On The Rise In recent years, climate variability and the increase in extreme events in the world, especially in the Caribbean, present a challenge for the region that many overlook. According to Brazil’s Natural Disaster Monitoring and Warning Center (CEMADEN), there is an increase in hurricanes in the Atlantic in 2021, being the third most […]
7 reasons to build a school with a prefabricated system
Infrastructure and education Education is a growing sector. The demand for adequate and appropriate infrastructure for the new challenges is known to many. We have left behind classrooms with capacities of 50 students, giving way to classrooms for smaller groups and with a vision of work focused on the team, instead of individual work. New […]
