Have you ever wondered why so many commercial buildings opt for flat roofs? It's not just an architectural trend - it's a smart, practical decision that offers many advantages. From maximizing usable space to paving the way for energy efficiency through solar panels, flat roofs are the unsung heroes of the commercial world. They even simplify maintenance and make equipment installations a breeze. Learn more: #CommercialRoofs #FlatRoofs  

Structural Insulated Panels https://lnkd.in/ghRn3Yjz SIP Floor, Walls & Roof installed in two days. SIP Homes and Commercial Builds. Georgia Terra Inc. Woodstock, Georgia (770) 215-0888 Structural Insulated Panels - The Future of Sustainable Design. You no longer have to choose between designing great things and doing the right thing for the environment. Our custom SIP homes and commercial buildings offer energy efficiency, less waste and sustainable sourcing leaving minimal environmental impact. THE BENEFITS OF STRUCTURAL INSULATED PANELS: Energy efficiency: SIPs have a high insulation value and tight seals around windows and doors, which can help to reduce energy consumption and lower heating and cooling costs. Cost-effectiveness: SIPs can be a cost-effective solution for building construction, as they are prefabricated and easily transported to the site, reducing labor costs. Speed of construction: SIPs are prefabricated in a factory, which means they can be assembled quickly on-site. This can significantly reduce construction time and labor costs. Environmentally friendly: SIPs can be made from polystyrene foam derived from post-consumer waste, reducing the use of fossil fuels and the amount of waste sent to landfills. Structural integrity: SIPs are made of structural materials such as oriented strand board (OSB), which make them strong and durable. They can withstand high winds and heavy snow loads, making them suitable for use in a variety of climates. Indoor air quality: Because SIPs create an airtight building envelope, it can improve indoor air quality and reduce the need for mechanical ventilation. For those looking for a sustainable and energy-efficient construction option, Georgia Terra Inc. has the perfect solution with our Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs). Our SIPs are made from high-quality materials that provide better insulation and stability to your home. They drastically reduce energy consumption, keeping your home cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter. Plus, they're highly durable, fire-resistant, and long-lasting.

⁉️ One of our favorite FAQs from builders, architects, and homeowners: how can solar be better integrated? 📐 We designed specific solar architectural components to answer their concerns. This house in the photo shows off two aspects nicely! Firstly, our Solrif tiles which allow PV to be seamlessly integrated into the ‘envelope’ of the building. Seamless is the operative word here! The PV element needs to look good, not just generate power efficiently (though the Solrif tiles do that too, of course😇). And cost plays a role too: When it comes to replacing an older roof, it can mean saving by building the new roof with solar tiles, thus killing two birds with one stone. The building has a new roof, it generates clean power, and the property value increases — all in one quick construction project. Likewise, our Elegante glass can be used as a roof over a terrace, as here, a balcony railing, or a carport cover. 🚘 A frameless, laminated PV safety glass with ca. 28 % transparency provides cover, plus a pleasing mix of shade and light along with adding to the home’s solar generation. 🔆 Look at how we solve solar architecture questions: 🔗 https://lnkd.in/eGvvaKJF #solar #erneuerbareenergien #rooftopPV #rooftopsolar #solarpower #BIPV #solararchitecture

What do householders value the most in a hot water solution? Energy-efficiency, reliable performance, and a compact design that saves space. ✅ There's a Thermino designed to fit all household needs: from homes with 4 or more bedrooms to space-constrained apartments. 🏡 🏗️ If you're a homeowner interested installing a Thermino, or a specifier looking to fit our heat batteries in your projects to optimise renewables, take this interactive quiz to know which Thermino is right for you: https://lnkd.in/eJhbtQpw You can also check out our BIMstore page to see how easily our heat batteries can retrofit into your building designs: https://lnkd.in/eJKdpiat #hotwater #heating #specifiers #heatbatteries #BIM #BIMstore #homeowners #energyefficiency #buildingdesigns

Smaller Retrofits can have Big Impacts! https://buff.ly/3Vxhkjc Check out these targeted projects to improve indoor air quality and health, and save money, water and energy. Examples include installing a remote hood kitchen fan to dramatically and immediately cut noise levels, adding sensors to bath fans to make sure they can help control humidity and odors, reducing heat and improving air in a hot shed or garage with a solar fan, and reducing heat and fumes and heat in garages as well. Also, check out plumbing and equipment wins! Imagine a shower where you only need .5 gallons a minute to generate 3 gallons of water, more than the average shower, using 80% less water! Or, how about a water heater you can plus in that is 3 to 4 times more efficient? We're of course also excited about induction stovetops - better cooking with fewer emissions! #retrofits #renovations #indoorairquality #IAQ #energy #energyefficiency #HVAC #ventilation #plumbing #exhaust #hoods #kitchens #bathrooms #fans #savings #building #buildings #construction #architecture #engineering #design #electrification #decarbonization #greenbuilding #energyefficiency #savings #building #buildings #construction #architecture #engineering #design #electrification #decarbonization #sustainability #greenbuilding

So turns out our latest video was a hot topic! Here are the facts: Your air conditioning system is only intended to bring down the ambient temperature in your home by about 10-12 degrees. So bottoming out your air conditioners set temp will only make your system strive for a temperature it will never achieve. This will not only hurt its feelings, but also mean it’s using a tonne of energy which will ultimately be reflected on your next electricity bill. We know the pain of hot days, but setting it to 18 degrees is only hurting you, your wallet and putting strain on your system. Now you know. Knowledge is power, you’re welcome 🤭 #TemperTroops #Daikin #DuctedAirConditioningBrisbane #DuctedAirConditioningSunshineCoast #DuctedAirConditioningMoretonBay #HVAC #NewHome #QualityAirConditioning #Design #Development #CustomHome #Contractor #AirCon #SmartHome #Clipsal #ElectricalContractor #Architecture #Construction #TradeLife #RealEstate #House #DreamHome #Build
