P r o d u c t s T A he growing importance of energy efficiency and sustainability has given birth to new generations of products and technologies. Here’s a sampler of what’s available in the marketplace. This section will continue in future editions of HPB. B A Blanket insulation High temperature blanket insulation from CertainTeed Corporation, Valley forge, Pa., can be applied directly to any hot surface and improves thermal and acoustical performance of industrial equipment, panel systems, pipe fittings, vessels, boilers and tanks. it features 60% recycled content and is approved for applications up to 1,000°f. Available in batts or rolls, the high temperature blanket is composed of rotary glass fibers bonded together using a thermosetting resin and formed into a plain, flexible and resilient thermal insulation. HPB.hotims.com/33327-151 D B insulated Wall Panel AltusGroup, Bethlehem, Pa., offers CarbonCast® high performance insulated wall panels. They are comprised of two concrete wythes separated by rigid foam insulation boards and are connected by C-grid®carbon fiber grid shear trusses. The relatively low thermal conductivity of C-grid delivers a loadbearing panel with continuous insulation values to steady-state r-37 or higher. The product can reduce HVAC first costs and ongoing energy expenses. HPB.hotims.com/33327-152 C sunshade The Thermashade™ from YKK AP America, Austell, ga., uses a thermal barrier to reduce heat gain and help lower a building’s energy consumption. its applications include storefront façades and curtain walls. The shade is available in more than 100 configurations. HPB.hotims.com/33327-153 D led Power supply Motif Architectural Lighting, santa Ana, Calif., offers the remote modular power supply, which provides low voltage, Class ii dc power from modules encased in aluminum housing. it simplifies installation, operation and maintenance for the company’s led graphic illuminators, light boxes and decorative downlights. The product uses pulse width modulation dimming circuitry, which essentially turns the leds on and off for imperceptibly short periods of time, maximizing energy efficiency and power savings. HPB.hotims.com/33327-154 E sunshade max/Block™ sunshades by Tubelite® Walker, mich., , maximize daylighting and minimize solar heat gain. They are manufactured using ecoluminum™, a highrecycled content aluminum billet composition with environment-friendly finishes.
