High Performance Windows Meeting Global Energy Codes Today

The implementation of superior fenestration technology is no longer an optional upgrade but a fundamental necessity for architectural projects aiming to achieve regulatory compliance and long-term sustainability. By integrating advanced glazing and framing solutions, buildings can significantly reduce their operational energy demand while providing occupants with enhanced comfort and durability against a backdrop of increasingly stringent global construction standards.

Sustainable Materials Shaping Future Building Envelopes

The selection of environmentally responsible building components is fundamentally altering the trajectory of modern construction, moving away from carbon-intensive resources toward innovative, low-impact alternatives. By utilizing advanced bio-based composites, recycled metals, and high-performance insulation, designers are creating resilient structures that not only minimize their initial environmental footprint but also provide superior operational efficiency throughout their entire lifecycle.

Noise Control Solutions for Modern Urban Buildings

The creation of serene interior environments in the heart of dense metropolitan areas is a growing challenge for architects, as the sounds of traffic, construction, and public transit increasingly penetrate the building envelope. By implementing sophisticated acoustic insulation and high-performance soundproofing technologies across all exterior systems, developers can significantly mitigate the impact of environmental noise, ensuring that modern structures provide the quiet and comfort essential for productivity and well-being.

Advancing Prefabrication 2026

Mexican cement producer Grupo Cementos de Chihuahua (GCC) has announced the expansion of its Rapid City, South Dakota cement plant became operational, adding 440,000tpa capacity to the existing plant.

The expansion of the Dacotah cement plant began in 2016, with a total investment of around USD105m. The expansion increases the plant’s production capacity to 1.167Mta and is expected to reduce variable production costs.

Earlier this year, GCC acquired the 0.3Mta Trident cement plant in Three Forks, Montana, from CRH, adding to its other facilities at Tijeras, New Mexico; Odessa, Texas; Pueblo, Colorado; and Rapid City, South Dacotah, bringing the company’s US capacity total to 3.5Mta.
