*Precast
concrete is considered a "thermal mass". It is so
dense that it helps absorb heat during the day and moderate daily
temperature swings.. Recent studies have demonstrated that thermal
mass creates more efficiency then designers tend to realize.- (ECCO),
Environmental Council of Concrete Organizations. |
| |
*1.Optimized
Energy performance- Thermal Mass with insulation
provides energy benefits that exceed the benefits of mass or insulation
alone in most climates. The insulation used in our building systems
is THERMOMASS who can provide energy analysis to show reduction
in loads, peak energy usage, and thermal efficiency of the THERMOMASS
insulation and concrete building system. |
| |
*3.
Additional Commissioning: THERMOMASS can provide documentation
and detailed drawings to ensure the correct installation and use
of the wall systems, thereby eliminating thermal bridging through
the insulation layer. |
| |
*5.
Measurement & Verification: THERMOMASS systems use Dow STYROFOAM
brand insulation, which maintains 98% of its R-value as it ages. |
| |
*Prerequisite:
Minimum Energy Performance : The THERMOMASS/Concrete building system
will meet/exceed ASHRAE Standard 90.1 and/or energy requirements
of local building codes. |

*20%
Energy Savings can be achieved which would give 2 points
|
 |

|
*30%
Energy Savings can also be achieved which would give an additional
1 point |
