Description
Summary:Heating and cooling costs are generally the major expenses associated with the operation of a building. [...] any reduction in these costs through the use of energyefficient building-envelope components makes sense. In some cases, an additional benefit is realized in the rninimization of thermal expansion and contraction, which can cause problems with the shape of the metal panel or integrity of fasteners and seams.\n An increasing number of LEED certification requirements for federal, state, and local public building construction projects are being mandated.
