The Out-Of-Building Experience

one could argue that experiencing a building from the outside is as important as experiencing it from within. Most people will not have a reason to visit a new high-end residential tower, but they will notice how safe, or unsafe, the buildings lighting and landscaping makes them feel when they walk past it alone at night. This spring, I finally had the chance to visit the 47-acre site of Philip Johnsons Glass House in New Canaan, Connecticut. His iconic house is one of a collection of historic buildings on the property that he carefully designed to be experienced from both inside and out. While walking from building to building, I appreciated how Johnson carved his vision out of the landscape like a woodworker transforms oak into a fine piece of furniture: a sweeping curve here, a small detail there. In our Summer issue, we focus on those products that are experienced from the outside, including facades, landscape furnishings, outdoor lighting, entrances, and even roofing. As usual, we take a microview of each subject, with interviews, new products, and data, but do it in snaps quick and easy-to-read format. If you are on the road this summer, you can always read our digital edition anywhere you go just click the SNAP box at sweets.com. Finally, I would like to welcome snaps new editorial director, and Architectural Record editor in chief, Cathleen McGuigan. Cathleen, who brings more than three decades of cultural journalism experience to our group, will also serve as editorial director for snaps sister publication GreenSource.

New Ways to Think Eco

architects need little encouragement
to embrace sustainability principles, yet traditional and unsustainable models of building still predominate across the nation. So it is welcome news when breakthroughs in systems and materials emerge to accelerate the advance of green building. In Pennsylvania, the Pittsburgh-based Green Building Alliance recently celebrated its fifth annual Products Innovation Grants. Thar Geothermal, partnering with Carnegie Mellon University, earned $100,000 to develop its new CO2 geothermal heat pump for commercial use. A second top recipient, Energy Wall, will use its cash prize to beta-test a passive heat- and moisture-transfer membrane for ventilation air recovery, working with Pennsylvania State University. A smaller grant went to Drexel University with Penn State and EcoBuilt Efficient Buildings, who will develop a daylight-matching LED luminaire, a concrete mix with recycled gypsum, and a structural, insulating masonry block made with postindustrial bio-fibers. Outside the Keystone State, further significant advances have emerged, especially in the area of transparent photovoltaic (PV) materials. Research from MIT has produced a solar cell prototype composed of organic molecules that harness the infrared spectrum for power generation, leaving other light to pass through.
The Cambridge-based team believes its solar cell could generate power at 12%, comparable to current silicon PV types, within a decade. In France, a different transparent product from the company WYSIPS an acronym for What You See Is Photovoltaic Surface is based on lenticular optics, which can reveal different images depending on the observers position. The WYSIPS transparent PV could be applied to building exteriors as well as car windows and laptop and mobile phone screens. Another French innovation for facade design unrelated to PV comes from Clapiersbased Innobat. The company has developed a pultruded square tubular profile for window frames composed of 65% flax fibers held together with thermoset resins. The bio-based product stronger than PVC and wood, with better thermal performance than aluminum earned an Innovation Award at the JEC Composites Show in Paris earlier this year.
main event
10 years later
Already 68 stories tall as of this writing, WTC Tower 1 (still referred to as the Freedom Tower by many New Yorkers) is covered in many places with its glass facade. The 9/11 attacks have altered the glazing industrys approach to safety and security issues.
Stronger Glass, Safer Buildings

as the 10th anniversary of 9/11 draws near, the building construction industry is still grappling with its aftermath, especially in the development of glazing systems that withstand tampering and impact. According to Solutia, Inc., 9/11 refocused the industry to view building occupants as potential blast survivors. The biggest issue for us is the rise in demand for products that reduce the risk of glassshard penetration in the event of blast or impact, says Julie Schimmelpenningh, Solutias global architectural applications manager. Glazing firms are seeking more robust formulas for existing systems better heat-treating or tweaks to interlayers, for example. Recent testing has shown that polyvinyl butyral (PVB) and stiffer ionoplast films are ideal solutions for high-risk locations. Both interlayers are effective in reducing flying glass fragments, says Valerie Block, senior marketing specialist with DuPont Glass Laminating Solutions. At the same time, many high-security havens are also getting greener: Saflex, a Solutia business unit that develops PVB laminates, partnered with Swiss photovoltaics company Oerlikon Solar to create ultrathin (0.51mm) solar encapsulant film for BIPV applications, which boasts good window durability, blast resistance, and ballistic ratings.

New Ways to Document Eco

the american institute of
Architects (AIA), an organization with a reputation for throwing its weight behind sustainable building efforts, recently announced its latest contribution: AIA Document D503-2011, entitled Guide for Sustainable Projects, Including Agreement Amendments and Supplementary Conditions. The Guides purpose, according to AIA, is to assist users of AIA Contract Documents in understanding contractual considerations unique to sustainable design and construction projects, while also providing model language for amendments and supplements to those documents. Commenting on the process (continued on page 12)

Sprinklers Rules: Less Safe?

the 100th anniversary of the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire passed by this spring, and the occasion was not unnoticed. The event, New York Citys largest workplace tragedy until September 11, 2001, took 146 lives, mostly women, teenagers, and immigrants, largely because of a factory policy of locking doors from the outside to discourage unscheduled breaks. Triangle Shirtwaist made national headlines too, and led to new federal, state, and local fire-safety laws over the ensuing decades. Though fire codes are universally considered positive, a new sprinkler requirement in Pennsylvania has encountered a pocket of resistance. The 2009 International Residential Code (IRC), which was adopted in California and Maryland this year, included recommendations from the Fire Sprinkler Initiative requiring new-built condominiums, apartments, and even single-family homes, to be equipped with sprinklers. The Massachusetts-based National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) authored the 2009 code language that led to this new standard, based on its assertion that 84% of civilian fire deaths in 2007 were the result of home structure fires, and that those
deaths could be reduced by as much as 80% if sprinklers are present. The Pennsylvania Independent Regulatory Commission voted unanimously to adopt the 2009 IRC, but under a cloud of controversy: In a newspaper editorial, Mark McNaughton, president of the Home Builders Association of Metro Harrisburg, points out that the NFPAs own 2008 study suggests that the survival rate for home fires when working smoke alarms are present is 99.45 percent. McNaughton suggests that the sprinkler industry may have abused the International Code Councils 2008 hearings in Minneapolis, unduly influencing the adoption of the sprinkler initiative. The result, he suggests, is a lose-lose proposition for Pennsylvanians: Although hard-wired alarm systems cost about $500, sprinkler systems add thousands to the cost of new residences and the effect may not be merely economic. Its been shown that for every $1,000 increase in the cost of a home, wrote McNaughton, 246,000 potential buyers are pushed out of the new home market and into older, less firesafe homes.
waste not: Preconsumer sanitaryware from TOTO, to be recycled into ceramics from Crossville.
Getting Together: M&A News

the first quarter of 2011 saw a spate of mergers and acquisitions in the building products sector. Medford, Wis.based Hurd Windows & Doors made the first move of the year, making headlines on acquiring SuperSeal Manufacturing, a New Jerseybased producer of vinyl windows. Hurds strategy is to expand its product mix, until now predominantly wood and clad-wood systems, to adjust to the shifting needs of the retrofit, residential, and light commercial construction markets, says Hurd CEO Dominic Truniger. A few weeks later, Acuity Brands Inc., a well-known name in high-performance lighting and controls, revealed that it had acquired the Sacramento-based skylighting manufacturer Sunoptics, for cash. Sunoptics had been successfully developing and marketing prismatic daylighting technology since 1978, boasting at least a billion square feet of sun-dappled customer space worldwide; its products will retain the brand name after the acquisition. Then Herman Miller Inc., the office furnishings giant, announced it would buy POSH Office Systems, Ltd., a Hong Kongbased producer. Herman Miller began talks with POSH in 2008, attracted to its annual revenues of about $50 million in the desirable Chinese contract market.
TOTO Crosses Industry Borders

whats in the pipeline for plumbing? Look to the fixture brand TOTO for a few unlikely ideas. In May, at the AIA Expo in New Orleans, and then in Chicago at NeoCon, the global manufacturer rolled out two surprising cross-industrial strategic partnerships. The first, with the household name in aluminum Alcoa, Inc., involves Hydrotect, a patented technology Toto applies to fixtures to resist microbes. The formula will now be incorporated into Reynobond cladding panels; dubbed Reynobond with EcoClean, the panels break down organic pollutants in other words, eat smog. The two major companies claim that 10,000 square feet of the panels clean the air as well as 80 medium-size trees. On the interiors side, TOTO is adopting a novel process created by tile manufacturer Crossville, Inc., to reuse preconsumer sanitary ware, fired tile, and filtrate waste at its fixture plant in Morrow, Ga. Called the EcoCycle Recycling Processes, the Crossville technology involves reducing the captured industrial waste to powder form for use in producing new ceramic materials.
Here Comes the Sun: Solar Retrofits

long dismissed as unlikely to become costeffective, building-integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) systems are making inroads in urban areas. Pythagoras Solar, a global PV pioneer, is responsible for arguably the highest-profile BIPV installation, at Willis Tower (ne Sears Tower) in Chicago, owned by American Landmark Properties. The iconic structures glass facade now features high-performance PV glazing on the south-facing side of its 56th floor enough to generate 2 megawatts of clean power. The pilot project is intended to stimulate interest in high-performance and net-zero-energy retrofit strategies for Chicago. Meanwhile, Spanish firm Onyx Solar is partnering with West Bay Builder to remodel San Franciscos Union City Station (above), run by Bay Area Rapid Transit. The retrofitted station will include semitransparent BIPV canopies, as well as improved universal access.

Facades that shade, display, and generate.

hinged connection to the mullions on the inner glazing. In their closed position, they visually float symmetrically between the mullions. When opened, they retract behind the mullions on the outer glazing, and seemingly disappear to a viewer on the street. While the shutters turn individually, they are synchronized in groups of 14. Movement is initiated by a linear actuator at the base of the shutters, with a CPU controlling the entire 3,000-square-foot system. During the day, the position of the shutters is directly tied to exterior light levels, with a manual override if occupants wish to change shutter position, Hoberman explains. The system was projected to reduce cooling demand by 30 percent, and a postoccupancy study to pinpoint the reduction is still forthcoming. At night, the facade takes a more dramatic turn, the shutters dancing to an LED-based lighting design by Shozo Toyohisa. Overall, the Pola project was a collaboration between Hoberman Associates and the design architect Yasuda Atelier and executive architect Nikken Sekkei, as well as the Adaptive Building Initiative, a three-year-old joint venture between Buro Happold and Hoberman Associates dedicated to developing environmentally responsive

envelope as power plant

When the Syracuse Center of Excellence opened in March 2010, an 8' x 8' section of the 55,000-square-foot buildings skin glittered in a way that the rest of the exterior did not. The anomaly actually is an inaugural panel of ICSF, or Integrated Concentrating Solar Facade. Developed by the Center for Architecture Science and Ecology (CASE) a research collaboration cohosted by Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and Skidmore, Owings & Merrill and licensed by HeliOptix, ICSF synthesizes known technologies into unprecedented products. The Syracuse prototype comprises 64 1'-square glass pyramids that focus the suns rays on multi-junction photovoltaic cells made by the Boeing company Spectrolab. Each small cell has three semiconductor layers that absorb different ranges of the light spectrum. According to HeliOptix managing director Mark Ours, this particular composition makes the Spectrolab cell more efficient than traditional silicon photovoltaics. The special PV cells and concentrated lenses are packaged as a single unit. Mounted on a universal joint to move in two axes simultaneously, each pyramid tracks the sun, a feature that Ours calls absolutely necessary. Its important to the systems advantage over traditional flat-plate technologies, whose output decreases when light strikes them at an angle. Because overheating also reduces PV production, the universal joint connects ICSFs cells directly to a water block-type heat sink, through which a fluid is run in a closed loop. The configuration has the added benefit of capturing waste heat for uses like heating water. By concentrating the light and using more efficient cells, only a small amount of expensive PV material is needed per unit area, thereby reducing the initial cost of the system, Ours says of ICSFs economic feasibility. But where the ICSF system really gains its advantage is in multi-functionality. Indeed, ICSFs additional benefits include its diffusion of sunshine to the interior and its insulating properties. HeliOptix continues to improve the system according to data collected in Syracuse. Meanwhile, the commercially available product is framed in light-gauge aluminum or steel, and panels arrive on site as complete, factory-assembled units. HeliOptix has plans to standardize some modules according to region and building type.

reinforcement, which optimizes packing density. This tight packing of particles creates stronger chemical bonds, which yields extremely high compressive, tensile, and flexural strength, Briggs says, making it six times stronger than traditional concrete. The material can be crushed and recycled, too. In August, TAKTL launched a prefabricated version of the UHPC, called TESL8. This unique wall panel system is designed to give architects and designers wide design latitude with a standard, affordable product, Briggs explains. There are eight individual panels included in the TESL8 system, and each panel includes two textures that enhance the eight patterns. An architect or designer can use any number of the panels to create a variety of subtle or prominent facade or wall patterns. Prior to ordering, architects download drawings of each 3' x 6' panel to design a pattern and determine a total number. Used either as a traditional building envelope or in a more sustainable application like a ventilated cavity, they require less substructure than their thicker, less durable predecessors. n

problem: Fast track a highly sustainable building on a shoestring budget. solution: Use a combination of off-site modular and on-site conventional construction and incorporate best practices in compact planning, natural ventilation, and daylighting.
at high tech high Chula Vista,
visibility is everything. Indoor classrooms become outdoor classrooms by rolling up the walls and every space functions as a gallery of work, past and present. To design this fluid space, Studio E Architects broke the layout into small, interconnected parts with plenty of internal courtyards to maximize natural light and ventilation, blur the lines between indoors and outdoors, and foster a sense of community and appreciation of student work. The school has a particular learning method where everyone sees whats going on all the time just by walking through the common spaces, said Eric Naslund, design principal for the project. Everything is organized on the very simple idea of a gallery or artifactorium. The creative energy fostered by this thoughtful plan is palpable, even in the still photographs. And the project has been lauded as much for its sustainability as it has for meeting the functional needs of its customers. To date, it has received the prestigious COTE Top Ten Green Projects award (in 2010) and has been recognized as a model of good design by the United States Green Building Council, the Environmental Protection Agency, and the Collaborative for High Performance Schools. Daylight is the primary lighting source for all circulation and learning areas. A photovoltaic array generates nearly 80 percent of the schools energy demands. The building utilizes extremely durable low-toxicity, low-maintenance materials such as polished concrete floors, steel framing, and fiber-cement siding; all materials were selected for their overall environmental and health performance. The 47,000-square-foot building, completed for a low-budget $11.5 million, was designed to be easily managed and maintained by teachers and staff, and has an expected service life of 100 years or more. For architecture, technology, and sustainability, the building gets an A+.

A History Lesson With Jean Carroon

Principal, Goody Clancy, Boston
how is preservation sustainable?

Its really about avoiding the impacts of new construction. Even the greenest products have upstream-downstream environmental impacts, so for me, sustainable preservation is really about extending the service life of what we already have. Im looking for products that have a long service life, are repairable, and do not harm existing buildings.
have you rediscovered old materials?

Yes, like Linoleum by Forbo marmoleum. Or accessing better versions of old products that had dropped o, like cork ooring. Gentler products and systems are available to care for our old buildings too, such as the cleaning process we used on the tower of Trinity Church, Spongejet with a spherical calcium carbonate.
what new products do you use?

Pervious pavers, for one. Green roofs are fabulous: Without new lightweight technology, we wouldnt have the structure to support green roofs. That development has been unbelievable. Also wonderful are new low-ow water xtures and nish materials with recycled content, such as PaperStone, which we recently used for sills and countertops in a project at Champlain College.
what about wood?

Wood is a huge issue. The gure [grain] in todays wood isnt the same, and rot is a problem. This is often discussed in the preservation community and a major reason why, particularly in England, preservationists are pressing for the protection of timber windows. Theyre essentially irreplaceable, and the wood will last another 100 years. New wood wont last like that.
whats the most urgent issue now?

I think the real conversation is going to be about water. People are just beginning to wake up to that. Its not just about how much water we use; its also about runo from roads and the hardscape were creating, its about movement between watersheds, and its about drought cycles that are going to become more dramatic.

A New Era
lighting specifiers sound genuinely excited about the newest trends in exterior fixtures from the movement away from clients asking for LEDs no matter how appropriate to the application (see LEDs: Making Intelligent Choices on next page), to the ability to incorporate controls, to the use of more interesting and sustainable materials. Manufacturers are playing a big role, along with the combined efforts of the International Dark Sky Association and the Illuminating Engineering Society, whose Model Lighting Ordinance is paving the way for more intelligent fixture specification and application. On the aesthetic side, we are seeing a trend toward more modern, contemporary fixtures and the development of urban lighting furniture pole fixtures that incorporate controls, signage, and even bike racks, and benches that are also light fixtures. The goal is a more appealing pedestrian landscape and the return of the night sky. Allison Craig

Principal Tillotson Design Associates New York City With LEDs for exterior lighting, we are going in the right direction, but theres a lot of room for improvement. There have been a tremendous amount of problems on the manufacture and install end. And were still using metal halide for point source because we know more about the color shifts and its more predictable. But, on the other hand, LED technology is helping us do things like concealed lighting and tree uplighting and still meet the energy codes. The technology is changing weekly. Its really exciting.

One of the most interesting trends in exterior is the implementation of controls. With instant-on sources (LED), we can dim the light fixtures and bring them up quickly. Controls offer a great way to save tons of energy and extend the lamp life, but provide that good perception of brightness and safety at the same time. And the really great thing is that it allows for two-way communication. When a fixture burns out, it can send a message back to the facility to let it know which one it really helps with maintenance cycles.
I see the trend of wood poles, like the ones made by Structura, becoming more prominent in the future, once people understand them in terms of maintenance and exibility. They are beautiful and will be embraced. I also see us using more modern, contemporary fixtures versus the period poles of the past. Hess makes a beautiful contemporary product.

although lighting professionals seem to agree that LEDs will eventually become a primary exterior light source, there is also a consensus that we arent there yet. Specifiers who have often felt pressured to use LEDs on every exterior project are starting to push back, educating customers on the intelligent use of LEDs. On the plus side, LEDs are improving every day, on virtually every known lighting quality metric. They allow for smaller fixtures and, with the development of OLEDs, unparalleled design exibility. If you can imagine a shape, you can create it with an OLED. The instant-on nature of LEDs means that they can be easily controlled, creating safer, motion-sensitive environments.
On the negative side, manufacturers have a long way to go to resolve disability glare. LED fixture cutoff and shielding are still in their infancy. In exterior applications, especially in warmer climates, heat sensitivity is a big issue, and, overall, there is a need for a methodology to evaluate the true lifespan of LEDs as part of the cost-effectiveness analysis. The Department of Energy has stepped up with its Lighting Facts program, which showcases manufacturers who commit to testing LED products and reporting performance results according to industry standards (lightingfacts.com). As Magnaray Lightings Larry Leetzow notes, The bottom line is that you have to take into account color, glare, and uniformity, no matter what the source. A.C.

Roofs consume large amounts of material and play a major role in a buildings performance. For low-slope applications from a sustainability perspective, I like a green (or garden) roof. It provides substantial membrane protection, increasing its longevity. Other pluses are improved energy performance, rainwater control, and a reduction in the heat-island eect.
Progress in green roof technologies over the last decade has led to the transformation of them from an intriguing idea to a practical and economically feasible aspect of modern design. In addition to the economic and environmental benets, green roofs have given designers the opportunity to turn once-forgotten spaces into new opportunities for public zones.

Its no surprise that light-colored, reective surfaces heat up less in the sun. That translates into less solar-generated cooling loads for buildings that have white, reective roofs. It can also mean lower ambient temperatures outside those buildings, because dark roofs and pavement heat the outdoor air, contributing to the urban heat island eect.

Sunblock for Buildings

totally glazed buildings are like bare skin on the beach they need some sun protection or they will fry. With clearer, high-performance glass, buildings can appear almost totally transparent without sacricing environmental achievements. Switchable glass has been around for a decade or more, used mostly for privacy in upscale interiors, but Research Frontiers Suspended Particle Device (SPD) line of Smart products specically addresses facade glazing for improved daylighting responsiveness. A continuous miniscule electrical current keeps the glass clear in pleasant conditions but can be switched o to darken the glass to a lower visible light transmittance. Another trend, typied by the LightLouver product, is to ramp up the eciency and capability of interior blinds, particularly venetian blinds, to block unwanted sun, prevent glare, and bounce good daylight farther into the occupied zone.

For a house we recently designed outside of Toronto where the climate ranges from extremely cold winters to hot summers solar shading allows us to have three things we value: natural light, large windows, and thermal control. These devices keep direct solar radiation o a surface or window while simultaneously bouncing light deep into the interior. The same device also allows direct sunlight to hit the house at lower angles during winter months, which provides a valuable source of heat.
We used FSC Alaskan yellow cedar (AYC) sunscreens on our two recent community center projects because it is an exceptionally hard, weatherresistant wood, its low maintenance, and ages beautifully. It weathers to a gray silver, giving it better reectivity, and the individual slats perform well as light shelves.
Manufacturing and modeling technologies are driving more nely tuned sunshading strategies, resulting in a more nuanced architectural expression. For the University of Western Australias Business School, two systems extruded terra-cotta sun louvers and a blind of aluminum aerofoil ns oset by a generous overhang respond to sun orientation and building program, and also contribute to a dynamic architecture.

setting out to design a net-zero-energy building without a good daylighting strategy is a bit of a fools errand. Striking the right balance relies on experience, design nesse, and some fairly detailed computer modeling. Completed in 2010, the National Renewable Energy Laboratorys LEED Platinum-rated Research Support Facility (RSF) in Golden, Colorado, designed by Denver-based RNL Architects, included the use of LightLouver daylight redirection devices that were not easily modeled in o-the-shelf daylighting simulation software. The performance of so-called complex fenestration systems, like lightshelves, daylight-redirecting blinds, and laser-cut panels, poses a simulation challenge because determining how they operate throughout the year would take days, if not weeks, of computer time. Simulating electric lighting is relatively straightforward, as it can be done for a given time, day, year, climate, and sky condition, but daylight
quality changes constantly. And where daylight dimming systems are integrated into a net-zero-energy strategy, the contribution of daylighting to a buildings overall energy eciency goals is more critical than ever. A 2010 paper published by Rob Guglielmetti and his colleagues from NREL highlights the technical process used to marry the complex daylighting model and lighting control strategy simulation to the whole building energy model for the RSF project. The RSF project included extensive daylighting for open oce areas, relying on a dual-glazing system with a vision component at eye level and an upper daylighting plane oset by the LightLouver. The NREL team used Radiance, a daylighting software developed by the Lawrence Berkeley National Lab, to help bridge the gaps in its simulation of the LightLouvers contribution to energy demand reduction. Early monitoring results for the building have been favorable, but a full report is still forthcoming. R.F.

Hooking the Construction Industry

on New VELCRO Brand Carpet Protection
The non-woven fabric product utilizes patented VELCRO Brand hook technology to secure to and protect carpets in high-trafc job sites, meeting industry needs and solving long-standing carpet protection problems.
Velcro USA Inc., the fastening industry leader and inventor of hook and loop fasteners, has launched its latest invention: VELCRO Brand Carpet Protection. This unique product is a durable, high-quality laminate with a non-woven face and a water resistant, yet breathable lm backing that secures to loop carpeting using patented hook technology by the Velcro Companies. The patent pending VELCRO Brand Carpet Protection is ideal for use in the commercial construction industry, where loop and loop combination carpeting are the predominant ooring products.
Self engaging edges allow large areas to be covered without the need for tape (Also shown left).
CAUTION: Self-adhering plastic lms

may leave residues that result in rapid soiling after removal. Do not place plastic sheeting over any carpet installation because it may present a slip hazard. Most importantly, plastic coverings will trap moisture, retard adhesive curing and may promote mold growth. - CRI CARPET
INSTALLATION STANDARD, EFFECTIVE 10/1/09
Our goal was to create a product that solves problems the construction industry has faced for years, says Blaire Townsend,
Velcro USA Inc.s Director of the Construction Strategic Business Unit and leader of the team that invented VELCRO Brand Carpet Protection. As construction schedules have become more and more aggressive, design overlaps construction and trades overlap each other. This causes nish materials to be put in place and at risk of damage much sooner than most contractors would like. Yet the construction and carpet industries have been plagued by products and practices that instead of providing protection have caused a whole host of problems, leading to millions of dollars in claims and delays, adds Townsend. Protection products used on carpeting often incorporate a pressure sensitive adhesive, which if used improperly can leave behind a residue, inhibit the curing of the adhesive used to install the carpeting, and compromise the color in solution dyed yarns. For these reasons, the Carpet and Rug Institute and many carpet manufacturers guidelines now advise against the use of this type of selfadhering lm product.
Using VELCRO Brand Carpet Protection will reduce claims for damage to carpet, protect and preserve the carpets integrity and prevent carpet from having to be replaced before it even gets put into use therefore saving millions of dollars in losses and keeping millions of yards of new carpet out of landlls and eliminating the expense of using energy to recycle carpet. Thats a legitimate green aspect you can honestly sell.
- Lew Migiore, President LGM Enterprises, Flooring Industry Expert Other products used for temporary ooring protection in the industry, such as tarps, paper, masonite or homasote panels are also problematic. These systems are expensive, labor-intensive to install, adjust or relocate, fail easily, and create trip hazards. We spent 18 months developing this temporary carpet protection product with contractor and installer feedback, extensive lab testing and eld trials, and carpet manufacturer and industry experts input, explains Townsend. It has been launched to rave industry reviews. Bentley Prince Street, is one of several carpet manufacturers that has adopted and is marketing the product under their SmartCover label. We believe SmartCover is one of the most innovative new products in the industry, says Tom Mee, vice president of customer relations.
Even when high quality self-adhering lm products are used correctly, they have many restrictions on their use. Their own installation instructions typically warn against keeping the product in place for longer than 45 60 days; newly installed carpet cannot be covered until 14 days after installation so that adhesive curing will not be inhibited or adhesive transfer risked; temperature range for safe use is 40 90 degrees; use in direct sunlight can cause adhesive transfer or shorten useful life; excess trafc can cause adhesive transfer; and shelf life is limited. Self-adhering lms are also one-time use products. They cannot be repositioned or reused. VELCRO Brand Carpet Protection goes down easy, can be picked up, repositioned, relocated and reused. As such, the amount of job site waste that is generated with the VELCRO Brand product will be far less than the alternatives. The highest priority in any waste management program is to REDUCE the amount of waste generated, then REUSE and RECYCLE.
To our knowledge, SmartCover far exceeds any other carpet protection system in the marketplace.
The printable face is also a new, distinguishing feature to this product. Velcro USA Inc. will provide custom printing, allowing carpet manufacturers, installers, general contractors, or any customers the opportunity to display their logo on the product and enjoy previously unavailable exposure and advertising. Made in the USA, VELCRO Brand Carpet Protection is now available for purchase from the company, select distributors and resellers. Velcro USA, Inc. Manchester, NH velcroconstruction.com/specs

Brewers + Baptisms: Two Case Studies
Along with these historic renovation case studies, we present a roundup of the latest window developments, including a new line of custom tilt-and-turn options. by rita catinella orrell
Featuring three pagoda-like towers designed to conceal grain elevators, the American Brewery Building in East Baltimore was originally erected in 1887. Abandoned for more than 30 years, the building fell into disrepair, along with the neighborhood surrounding it. A registered historic landmark, the project caught the eye of Humanim, a human services organization serving Maryland that hoped a renovation of the 60,000-square-foot building would kickstart a neighborhood revitalization. Marvin Signature Products and Services was selected to tackle the projects challenging window restoration. Created in 1997, Signature works on several hundred projects a year, ranging from very large to a single installation. For this project, it was chosen for its ability to meet goals of historic accuracy, energy efficiency, and cost. Baltimore-based architectural firm Cho Benn Holback + Associates used historic photos and the projects two remaining windows to determine how to replicate the original fenestration. As a significant number of window frames were repairable, sash replacement was a viable option. In total, Signature supplied 115 sash replacement units and 77 complete window replacement units. At least 20 different shapes of double-hung and round-top windows were involved, plus special casings, mouldings, and divided lite patterns. The variety of historic detail made it one of the more interesting projects, says Maura Williams, marketing communications project manager with Signature. A little more than a decade after the American Brewery Building went up, St. Marys Parish in Potsdam, New York, was busy with its own project carefully installing stained glass windows into its new church. Last year, that glass was removed from the original pine windows, and Signature was contracted to help replicate the decaying window frames, this time in Honduran mahogany. The project consisted of 15 exterior and interior Gothic Revival units, including a 14' x 23' rose window. Precise measurements were critical to the project, as the large-scale wood window frames had to fit both the stone openings, which had weathered and settled for more
3 than a century, and the original stained glass, which had been removed and would be replaced in the new units. Realistic planning for this kind of project is crucial, says Signature project manager Todd Dalen. All the different processes need to have a realistic time frame, starting with getting accurate measurements and part drawing files from the designer. Signature called on Halifax, Nova Scotiabased Jerry MacNeil Architects Limited to do a forensic
4 inspection of the wood windows, and then 1, 2. For the renovation of the American Brewery Building in East Baltimore, completed in 2009, measure and provide part drawings.

High-Performance Concrete Gets a Makeover

A GFRC-alternative brings a new look to a technical construction material.
by rita catinella orrell
Six yearS ago, when Carpinteria, Californiabased Forms+Surfaces wanted to develop products in ultrahigh-performance concrete (UHPC), it ran into a problem research on commercial applications of the material was not available outside of university settings. Rather than throw out the concept, the company chose to develop its own UHPC specifically for commercial architectural, landscape, and urban applications and TAKTL was born. The closest commercially available material to TAKTL in the architectural products were making would be GFRC [glass fiber reinforced concrete], but the base concrete in GFRC is not UHPC, says Jason Flannery, TAKTLs head of design. TAKTL outperforms GFRC in compressive, tensile, and flexural strength, and, unlike GFRC, TAKTL can be cast in virtually any shape, texture, or pattern. These improvements, along with the capability to custom-color the material, have transformed UHPC from a technical construction material into a group of multidimensional interior and exterior wall elements and panels, as well as urban furnishings such as benches, receptacles, and planters. Although it is a new design material, it should feel familiar, says Flannery. TAKTL is for the most part made up of similar components to conventional concrete; this was an essential part of its development, he says. The magic, if you will, is in the precisely controlled relationship between these components. For proprietary reasons, the company will not disclose the complete list of ingredients, but it may utilize glass fibers or mesh, polyvinyl acetate, or steel fibers, depending on the projects needs. Beyond its design potential, the most innovative thing about TAKTL is its approach to manufacturing if the project is big enough, they will come to you. We have made a substantial investment to develop a manufacturing process that is modular and mobile, says Flannery. For largescale projects more than 500 miles from Pittsburgh, we could set up a manufacturing facility near the project anywhere in the world and source all of the material and much of the labor locally. This process
1 virtually eliminates shipping costs, lowers the carbon footprint, and contributes to the local economy. We are not aware of any other companies making building products for large-scale architectural projects operating in this way, he adds. The company anticipates installations to begin in fall 2011, with more unexpected product types, including louvers and canopies, coming soon.

louvers that adjust to guide air downward, while mist is sprayed from the top of the structure. The combination of evaporative cooling and moving air helps moderate perceived temperatures at the towers base. Within the buildings, designers have treated circulation areas as climate lobbies transitional zones maintained at warmer temperatures than the regularly occupied interior spaces. The residential structures, for example, have central atria largely illuminated by daylight through skylights configured to prevent the penetration of direct sunlight and associated heat. For much of the year, the spaces are cooled by natural means, with night air drawn into the lower floors through grilles, and vented, via the stack effect, through roof-level openings. The thermal mass of the surrounding walls helps modulate the temperature over the course of the day, keeping the space at around 86 degrees. This higher set point conserves energy and, somewhat counterintuitively, also increases occupant comfort: It helps prevent the thermal shock experienced when one walks into a very cool space from intense heat, explains Garrod. In addition to energy and comfort, water is also a key issue at Masdar, as it is for the region. Strategies deployed at the completed part of the project should reduce consumption by 54 percent when compared to UAE standard practices. The buildings include low-flow fixtures, efficient appliances, and a graywater treatment system that receives condensate from cooling towers. The recycled water is used to flush toilets and for irrigation. Masdars sustainability objectives also influenced material choices. One example is the ground granulated blast-furnace slag that replaces a significant portion of the Portland cement in the structures concrete mix up to 80 percent in some places. The use of the slag, which is a by-product of steel-making, reduced the carbon footprint associated with the structure. It also improved constructability by slowing the concretes hydration and reducing the heat generated in the process, explains Albert Taylor, director of the projects structural engineer, London-based Adams Kara Taylor. In the coming months, Masdar officials expect to award the construction contract for the citys headquarters building, designed by Chicago architecture firm Adrian Smith + Gordon Gill. And by 2015, they estimate that about 10 million square feet, or a quarter of the city, will be completed. But the pragmatic Frost is in no hurry to prove a point. The timeframe from design and construction to completion, he says, must result in a project on the leading edge, not one on the bleeding edge.

Asphalt Responds to Rising Oil Prices

asphalt paving costs are slowly responding to the recent spike in crude-oil prices, triggered by political instability in Libya and the Middle East. Engineering News Records 20city average price for asphalt paving oil increased 1.7% in May, rebounding from a 0.2% decline during the previous month. However, weak demand continues to dull the full impact of higher oil prices; in May, ENRs average price for asphalt oil was up just 2.8% above a year ago. Washington, D.C.based forecasting firm IHS Global Insight estimates that asphalt paving costs during the first quarter were up 2.0% from 2010s level.

Lumber Prices Continue To Soften

contractor prices for the most commonly used species of 2 x 4 lumber declined 0.6% in May, according to ENRs 20-city average price. This dip checked a 2.8% price spike during the previous two months and left May prices 2.0% below 2010. Further upstream, mill prices for lumber are showing even more weakness than a year ago. In April, the framing lumber composite price index compiled by the Eugene, Ore.based pricing specialist Random Lengths declined 7% from the previous month. The Random Lengths price index in April was down 24% from a year ago and down 37% from April 2004s record peak.

Specification Report from The Hurricane Belt

sixty percent of our sales are from North Carolina down, says Tom Little, vice president of Smart Vent Products, Inc., Pitman, N.J. Deep into the storm season, manufacturers attention turns to the Southeast region Virginia, Georgia, Florida, and the Carolinas full of buildings vulnerable to big weather. Littles focus on flood vent solutions represents a step in saving buildings from hurricanes and other flood dangers, one that may also reduce a clients flood insurance premiums. The most intriguing trend revealed in McGraw-Hill Constructions (MHC) research into the Southeast area may be the steep drop in specification of backup power systems between 2005 and 2006. Spec rates for 2004 through 2010 show the Middle Atlantic outpacing the South in this category, though not in four of the five top structure types. Projects in the Southern coastal states have used far fewer storm drainage elements than in three other regions (8% vs. about 9.5%), though public and healthcare projects used many more drainage products than those in the Middle Atlantic. Use of crystalline waterproofing for houses of worship in the region spiked dramatically in the third quarter of 2010, and then began a steady downward correction. Trends in specs of hurricane-resistant glass are difficult to map precisely, but rates have generally been on the rise since 2006. For more details, contact MHCs Analytics Group at 800/591-4462.

Tessellation, Wood and BIM Transform Ceilings

If you can draw it, we can probably build it. Thats the philosophy underlying innovations by Ceilings Plus, the leading producer of specialty ceiling and interior wall panels. BIM-driven equipment allows them to custom fabricate aluminum panels with extraordinary precision and speed, and to produce almost any shape and perforation pattern. Their surprisingly affordable panels are lightweight, acoustical, easy to install, and can be integrated with lighting, sprinklers, HVAC and other building services. No longer limited by rectangular grids, panels can be almost any shape, allowing the design of elaborate tessellated surfaces. Curved surfaces and 3D polyhedronal shapes are also possible. Their computer numerically controlled (CNC) machinery can vary the location, size, and shape of each perforation, so perforation patterns can be used for design elements as well as acoustical control.
Using high speed, equipment, each perforation can have a unique size and shape and be placed for optimum acoustics and visual impact. Panels can be fabricated with any angles required. Reader Service Number 96
is a unique system of lightweight dimensional elements, panelized for easy installation and maintenance. It can be fabricated in virtually any size, and in the full range of wood species. Reader Service Number 95
Barz
Ceilings Plus offers beautiful wood nishes in addition to anodized and painted aluminum. Now, even large wood panels can be lightweight and easy to install. They offer Class A ratings and noise reduction coefcients as high as NRC=.95. Arboreal features real wood veneers bonded to aluminum and protected with a zero VOC, UV cured coating. Sarantis a wood-grained, dimensionally-simulated nish that is wearresistant and warranted for exterior use. The panels have no added urea-formaldehyde and can be FSC certied for sustainability. Fully nished edge returns complete the visual effect of solid, dimensional shapes while strengthening the panels. The new Ceilings Plus Barzsystem takes advantage of this by creating the appearance of solid wood beams, slats, or struts but without the weight. Barz is panelized for rapid installation and access above-ceiling access. For more information, see www.CeilingsPlus.com.

THE NEXT GENERATION

in TPO roofing.
Announcing
GAF scientists have developed EverGuard Extreme TPO... designed for solar and other high heat applications...
Solar panels (which are dark in color by nature) can create areas of high temperatures up to 190F on adjacent roof surfaces. Other highly reective architectural structures (such as mirrored glass) can act as solar magniers and concentrate sunlight onto nearby roof surfaces. This concentrated sunlight can be far more intense than ambient sunlight leading to premature membrane failure.
Not eligible for Well Roof Advantage Guarantee extension. See guarantee for complete coverage and restrictions
2011 GAF 2/11
EverGuard Extreme TPO is the next generation in TPO membraneswith the best guarantee in the industry!
GAF scientists have created the next generation in TPO membranes, built to handle the extreme demands that new rooftop applications can place on roong membranes. EverGuard Extreme TPO uses proprietary stabilizers and UV absorbers to achieve weathering performance far beyond current standards. That means more protection for your customers and for you.

(Who would have guessed polished concrete?)
Your choice of FGS/Permashine polished concrete puts you on the leading edge of environmental stewardship. In fact, with FGS/Permashine your facility becomes more environmentally friendly in a number of ways: The patented FGS/Permashine dry grind process completely eliminates safety, disposal and contamination concerns that may come with wet grind slurry. The materials used in the FGS system are VOC-compliant. There are no solvents, nor continued gas off that is common with carpet and tile. The remarkable durability of FGS/Permashine system delivers superb maintenance results with water and FGS Conditionerat a great savings compared with other floor types. The inherent reflective and thermal mass properties in polished concrete floors can substantially reduce energy costs for heating and lighting. The FGS system can contribute more LEED points than any other flooring choice and Indoor Air Quality credits for CHPS school projects. Go ahead. Go green. Make FGS/Permashine a part of your environmental stewardship strategy, and enjoy the added benefits of longterm savings and a great looking floor!

EYE ON THE FUTURE
Wasco has the technology and expertise to turn your most visionary designs into reality. Our advanced materials and engineering know-how are expanding the boundaries of whats possible with skylights in green, energy efficient daylighting systems. Maybe thats why we were chosen to help in the historic restoration of one of Buckminster Fullers most iconic structures, the 24 foot Flys Eye Dome. The future of skylights is here today, at Wasco.
BUCKY FULLERS FLYS EYE DOME

Technologically complex yet sculpturally elegant, Buckminster Fullers Flys Eye dome was an iconic, mid-20th-century solution for mass-produced, low-cost housing. The convergence of Fullers most advanced thinking, the basic structure produces a beautiful, fully equipped air-deliverable house that weighs and costs about as much as a good automobile. Not only is it highly efficient in its use of energy and materials, it is also capable of harvesting incoming light and wind energies.

Wunderbar.
Thats wonderful in English. But you knew that. What you might not know is that, over 40 years ago, a German company invented the technology to recycle tires into sports and tness ooring. They called it Regupol. So what does working with the inventor get you? The deepest experience and expertise, for starters. Add to that the cleanest raw material, consistent color infusion, killer custom colors and custom lengths, and the best in design, durability and performance. Get to know the inventor. In no time, Regupol America will have you uent in words like wunderbar. And maybe even spektakulr.

Striving for Big Crowds At the Smaller Shows

perhaps its the economy, and the weak recovery still taking its toll on construction, but intermediate trade shows appear to be struggling. Some are coping with a marked decline in attendance and participation, while others seek to rebrand or reposition themselves. In this roundup, snap previews ASLA Expo 2011 and reviews Lightfair and KBIS.
kbis 2011
With but a handful of appliance and cabinet manufacturers to be found among the many plumbing fixtures and fittings exhibitors, the 2011 Kitchen and Bath Industry Show (KBIS) was a lopsided event, reflecting the stillconfused state of the U.S. housing market. The number of exhibitors registered for the April exposition was 585 down from 700 booths the previous year. In 2008, 821 manufacturers were represented. Perhaps in an optimistic reaction to the anemia of the residential construction business, a contemporary aesthetic pervaded the modest number of product introductions. Performance toilets from Kohler and Inax and touch-operating faucets from Brizo and Moen were notable for their modern lines.

For technological innovation, the standout of the show was the MicroSilk hydrotherapy system from Jason International. A far cry from the roiling waters typical of jetted tubs, the system uses quiet clouds of micro-bubbles to super-oxygenate the bath water, warming it and softening its texture. For the user, the effect is soothing rather than stimulating. Among exhibitors, business hopes were being solidly pinned on the remodeling/ replacement market, with some newly courting the hospitality and commercial sectors, as well. A widespread grumble heard from attendees designers and dealers alike was the diminished role of KBIS as a resource. Over the past year, appliance manufacturers in particular have been exploring alternative ways of reaching the customer, from virtual trade expos to opening showrooms in key cities to exhibiting at other venues, such as the Consumer Electronics Show (CES). Attendance figures had not been announced as of press time leading to speculation that the headcount fell short of expectations (the official visitor tally for 2010 was 37,000). In light of the apparent decline, KBIS organizers might want to take a dip in that rejuvenating Jason tub. Leslie Clagett
asla annual meeting + expo

Earth, air, and water, OK. But fire? The American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA) confusingly invoked the four elements last year, but the 2011 ASLA Annual Meeting and Expo returns to a less apocalyptic theme: professional boosterism. With the slogan Landscape Architecture Rising borrowed, apparently, from a two-year-old issue of Engineering News-Record the trade show lists more educational offerings than ever (135 sessions) and a roundup of parties worth the trip to San Diego. So why is the green-thumb set on an upward arc? Jonathan Mueller, FASLA, the groups Idaho-based president and designer with Landmark/Architects West, recalled a Congress for New Urbanism talk in which architect Andres Duany blurted out that being a landscape architect is the next cool thing. In San Diego, the cool kids will don their Forms+Surfacesbranded lanyards and kick back with wine and cheese underwritten by Oldcastles Belgard Hardscapes, and then buy drink tickets for the annual gala in gorgeous Balboa Parks San Diego Museum of Natural History, courtesy of title sponsor Landscape Structures (also the opening session booster, along with publicly traded mega-firm AECOM). The awards video is courtesy of membrane-presenter Firestone Specialty Products, while the
coveted Olmsted Medal and other honors are bestowed at the Presidents Dinner, where Mueller will rub shoulders with sponsor Bartlett Tree Experts. (Also not-to-miss: the fellows dinner sponsored by Scofield Systems.) Clearly product manufacturers agree about the landscape designers importance, if not cool factor: Perennial supporters include Nemetschek Vectorworks, Playmart, Roman Fountains, Beldens Clay Pavers division, GreenScreen, Landscape Forms, IronSmith, site furnishings maker Victor Stanley Inc., and the environmental wiz-kids at ECORP Consulting Inc.

lightfair
In its 22nd consecutive year, Mays Lightfair International (LFI) Trade Show & Conference seemed to have a new vibe. It may have been the new location, the Philadelphia Convention Center; the new mobile app, which allowed conference attendees to ditch the usual piles of trade show paper for a more convenient way to track schedules and events; or it may have been the proliferation of new LED products. Whatever the reason, the energy was palpable. The larger footprint of the Philadelphia venue allowed for on-the-floor presentations by iconic lighting designers like Ingo Maurer, and special interest pavilions like the Building Integration Pavilion featured solutions and products used to create energyefficient buildings. Innovative LED products stole the show and dominated the LFI Innovation Awards presentation. Notable products included the Most Innovative Product of the Year winner, the Revel modular OLED by Acuity Brands, plus the Luxeon A LED by Philips Lumileds and the Low Voltage LED Wall Wash/ Flood from Tech Lighting Generation Brands. A special Judges Citation Award was given to the newly released 10th Edition of
the revel modular oled by Acuity Brands

was awarded Most Innovative Product of the Year at the 22nd annual Lightfair International Trade Show & Conference and demonstrates the design flexibility of OLEDs.

the Illuminating Engineering Societys (IESNA) Lighting Handbook. More than 70 well-attended continuing education courses were offered this year as lighting specifiers sought the latest information on design and technology. LED technology, which lately seems to morph overnight, once again dominated the discussion. Seminars ranging from Is LED the Answer? to Creating a Vision for OLED Lighting were packed. New, and interesting, was the Retrofit and Upgrade seminar track focusing on the recession-era challenges and advantages of integrating new lighting fixtures, controls, and infrastructure into existing buildings. If you missed any of this, plan to visit the 23rd annual Lightfair, which will be held May 711, 2012 in Las Vegas. Allison Craig

the words organic and digital are not often used in the same sentence or to describe the same product, but they easily partner to describe Knoll Textiles new wall covering collection by Abbott Miller. The Ink Collection was inspired by the way ink moves organically across a page. Starting with a single drop, Miller created hundreds of studies that yielded drops, branch-like forms, and loosely formed letters. The resulting patterns Ink, Drop, and Run were then scanned, scaled, and digitally duplicated to create a collection that is at once sophisticated and freely organic. We do crave more and more the quality that comes across in handmade things, said Miller. But he was equally inspired by Knolls classic modernist legacy. In some ways, the context of Knoll historically gives what I did more depth, makes it more meaningful, he said. Produced in an array of colors, Ink is printed on RECORE, a vinyl wall covering made with 30% recycled content that is Greenguard-certied for low chemical emissions. Ink is edgy, bold, contemporary all of the same things that t into our point of view, says Dorothy Cosonas, Knoll Textiles creative director. We brought Abbott into our world and it has been a very successful partnership. Ill say this: He is the only designer I have ever worked with on a second project. (SNAP #47)
