VIEWPOINT: Navigating Massachusetts’s Stretch Code and its Impact on Building Envelope Design

There are new requirements for building air tightness, glazing thermal performance, energy conservation, code compliance paths, and thermal bridging.

Belinda Carr - Can Aerogel Insulation cut down our energy bills? 20042023

Aerogel is the world’s lightest solid. Around 99.8% of this material is air making it an excellent insulator. Aspen Aerogels embedded tiny particles of aerogel into fibres to create flexible insulation blankets that is 5 times better than standard insulation!

Belinda Carr - How to Stop Thermal Bridging with T Studs

Wood is a conductor or a thermal bridge. It allows heat to flow easily from the exterior to the interior or vice versa. To solve this problem, a company in the States, called US Engineered Wood, has invented the T-Stud, a framing member that improves the energy efficiency of buildings by acting like a thermal break instead of a thermal bridge.
