ClimaSpec Attends AIA National Conference in Hometown

Sustainability has become a key focus in the ever-evolving field of architecture. As the world battles with the challenges of climate change, the requirement for sustainable solutions to reduce energy consumption in buildings has never been more crucial. As a leading manufacturer of structural thermal breaks in the construction industry, ClimaSpec took a significant step forward by showcasing our approach to sustainable design at the AIA 2023 conference in San Francisco.

Embracing Sustainability

At ClimaSpec we are dedicated to pushing the boundaries of sustainable construction practices. Recognizing the significant impact of structural thermal breaks, our goal is to continue to educate and raise the standards for sustainable thermal bridging solutions. By ClimaSpec attending AIA 2023, we raised awareness among architects, designers, and industry professionals about the advantages and possibilities offered by structural thermal breaks in sustainable construction design.  

Benefits of ClimaSpec Structural Thermal Breaks

• Enhance Energy Efficiency: By reducing heat loss through thermal bridges due to the poor energy efficiencies of common building materials such as aluminum, steel, and concrete. Structural thermal breaks increase the building envelope performance and overall energy efficiency of the building.  
• Condensation Prevention: Thermal bridges can lead to condensation, that can cause moisture-related issues, including mold growth and degradation of building materials. Structural thermal breaks act as a thermal barrier, reducing the temperature gradient, therefore preventing the formation of condensation and improving overall indoor air quality. 
• Longevity and Durability: Structural thermal breaks help minimize the temperature differential between a building’s interior and exterior. This leads to improved durability and extends the lifespan of the building. 
• Design Flexibility: Architects and designers have greater freedom in building design. ClimaSpec Structural Thermal Breaks allow for more efficient insulation strategies, resulting in increased interior space utilization. 
• Energy Code and LEED: ClimaSpec Thermal Breaks contribute towards energy code compliance and LEED® Green Building certification credits. 

Promoting Sustainable Construction

By ClimaSpec participating in AIA 2023, we formed partnerships with architectural firms, consultants, and construction companies who share a common vision for sustainable design. Through collaborative efforts, we aspire to embed structural thermal breaks as a standard practice in construction projects. 

ClimaSpec exhibited at AIA 2023 with the aim to inform the construction industry to grasp sustainable practices and build a better, greener future.
