Apr. 12, 2010 – Construction industry scientist Larry Carbary will present “Comparisons of Thermal Performance and Energy Consumption of Facades Used in Commercial Buildings,” at the Building Enclosure Science & Technology (BEST2) Conference: A New Design Paradigm for Energy Efficient Buildings,  April 12-14, at the Hilton Portland & Executive Tower in Portland, Oregon.

The presentation will focus on measuring key factors that impact building energy performance, such as:

·      How energy efficient fenestration systems play an important role in minimizing energy costs and maximizing the thermal efficiency of buildings;
·      The role structural sealants play, using Dow Corning 983 and 995 sealants as examples; and,
·      How varying climatic conditions and materials affect energy consumption.
