Thermal Bridging Solutions
To help with the affordable housing crisis in New York, Sendero Verde, a 361-unit residential tower was constructed on 60 East 112th Street. Currently the largest Passive House development in the country, it also features some of the most innovative energy saving methods available.
With sustainability at the forefront of this design, Sendero Verde features thermal breaks which will help minimise energy consumption whilst reducing its environmental footprint. Not only has this project benefited the community, it has also demonstrated a commitment to combating climate change.
The Handel Architects team approached Armatherm looking for structural thermal break solutions that would help achieve their sustainability goals. With the perfect combination of compressive strength and thermal efficiency for a range of applications, Armatherm 500 was the ideal choice for the project. The innovative product will effectively reduce thermal bridging in several places along the building envelope whilst also providing structural support and insulation at challenging thermal bridging locations.
