An independent
energy and environmental
analysis firm simulated the
energy performance of a prototype eight - story office building in 12 North American cities, and found that infrared (IR)- reflective coatings on metal walls, window frames, and
roofs reduced
energy use in cold climates, and even more so in warm and hot climates.
Carol Chaffee of Carol Chaffee and Associates was tasked to help with an
energy efficient lighting scheme, whereas Steve Doggett and Bob Brunjes of Built Environments helped with hygrothermal
analysis and plan review — a process which proved invaluable and ultimately helped lock in the wall and
roof assemblies.
