Editor’s recommendation: Ventloc paver is specially designed for buildings in high wind areas. It is the only roof ballast paver system that can transmit air pressure in the industry. The lightweight paver (15-20 lbs/sf, depending on the type) provides resistance to wind heaves at wind speeds up to 130 mph. The key to its strength and performance is the patented interlocking tongue and groove design, which can form a whole paver surface and provide multi-directional underground drainage. Paver size: 113/4 x 175/8 x 2 inches, eight colors are available. Hannover Construction Products

Project: Los Angeles International Airport lobby. Problem: The project needed a thermal insulation solution to help meet the mandatory requirements of the California Green Building Standard Code and Tier 1 requirements. Solution: Due to the low VOC emissions and performance, the team used more than 215,000 square feet of Atlas EnergyShield CGF Pro for wall insulation and 500,000 square feet of ACFoam-II for roof insulation. EnergyShield GCF Pro wall insulation material is vapor-permeable and consists of Class A fire protection (NFPA 285), a closed-cell polyheterogeneous rigid rigid foam core, and high-performance coated glass finishes on the front and back. ACFoam roof panels need to be customized (2×8 feet) to meet the architect’s design needs. In the team: Gensler, gkkworks, Turner Construction, PCL Construction. ATLAS roof
This rigid vacuum insulation panel has a microporous core that is evacuated, wrapped and sealed in an airtight enclosure. The result is an ultra-thin (20mm to 50mm) insulation product whose thermal efficiency is five times higher than that of ordinary insulation materials. The R value ranges from R-29 to R-60. Applications: roof components, balconies and terraces.
The VacuSeal vent fixed roof system uses special vents to use wind to fix the wind resistance film in place. Negative pressure exhaust can extract air and moisture from below the diaphragm to maintain insulation dryness and R value. VacuSeal reduces installation time and reduces the need for traditional fastening methods, thereby reducing the amount of glue, ballast or fasteners required for the project. The vents are made of UV-resistant PVC and contain no moving parts and do not need to penetrate. CARLISLE SYNTEC SYSTEMS

Project: The Towers @ Great America in Santa Clara, California. Problem: The outdoor dining area in this multi-tenant office building needed to be sheltered while still providing connectivity to redesigned facilities and eating spaces. Solution: The draped metal mesh cover can cast soft shadows to minimize direct sunlight and glare. A 45-foot-long mechanical sliding glass wall separates the outdoor dining area from the indoor dining area. The canopy acts as a continuation of the elevated plane, especially when the wall is opened, to further connect the two spaces. In the Cambridge Mid Shade model, 70 stainless steel mesh panels were used for the project, with 42% open area. In the team: Little, AP + I Design.CAMBRIDGE ARCHITECTURAL

Project: Santa Rosa Plaza Museum, California Question: The City of Santa Rosa hopes to transform this dizzying “an abandoned AT&T exchange station-into a mixed-use development. The architectural team needed to make a bold design statement to establish the project as a commercial hub in the city center. Solution: The original plan called for an all-glass curtain wall to be used on the front of the 83×126-foot building. The architect believes that this cost is too high for a budget of $16 million. The architect stipulated that the metal panel perforated on the glass curtain wall can be used as a decorative awning. The panel is made of McNichols perforated metal with round holes and an opening area of 46.3%. Approximately 150 white resin-coated 4×10-foot panels were made to create an aesthetic similar to origami. Team members: Hugh Futrell Corp. (developer), TLCD Architecture, BT Mancini Co. (metal manufacturer and installer).
Project: Rome (Texas) High School. Problem: The school had roof leaks at various transition points, causing serious damage. Solution: The original leaky tile roof was removed and replaced with McElroy’s 138T symmetrical standing seam metal roof. The system is also used to re-cover the existing roof. The symmetrical nature of the panels allows installation to start anywhere on the roof. Team member: Amtech (design, repair consultant).
