Preventing Thermal Breaks in Building Envelopes By Nate Menuez, PE We face many challenges in the design and construction of a new building. From large, big-picture issues down to the finest details, one of the finer problems that consistently arises is thermal bridging in building envelopes. This bridging can cause a wide array of problems including unwanted, excessive heat flow and energy loss through the exterior envelope in a building. What is thermal bridging and how can it affect the performance of a new building? This occurs when a structural (or non-structural member) of thermal conductivity causes heat transfer through the building envelope. A wideRead More →

Park High School Renovation and Addition Like many schools built in the 1950s and 60s, Park High School in Livingston, Montana, was an integral part of educating the multitude of Baby Boomers.
