It is often said that children are our greatest resource.

The THERMOMASS Building Insulation System helps protect that resource with the world's safest, most energy-efficient concrete insulation system.

 
Fast, Energy Efficient Construction

Educational facilities built with insulated concrete sandwich walls utilizing the THERMOMASS Building Insulation System are able to meet the project’s schedule or sometimes even come in with time to spare.

Whether the project is tilt-up, modular precast, precast or poured-in-place, THERMOMASS is the overwhelming choice of educators and contractors worldwide. By sandwiching insulation between the two layers of concrete, the facility’s walls are built and insulated in one operation, greatly reducing construction time and getting the project finished on time.

 
A Healthy and Safe Choice

THERMOMASS and tilt-up construction will make your educational facility a healthy and safe one. By creating a building envelope that is both thermally efficient and moisture resistant, THERMOMASS helps impede mold growth by eliminating thermal short circuits, air infiltration and condensation on the exterior walls. No moisture means no mold or mildew.

The THERMOMASS insulation system used in concrete sandwich panels, addresses the mold issue through its design. Using edge to edge and opening to opening insulation, THERMOMASS walls eliminate thermal bridges and take away the possibility of moisture build-up on the building’s walls. THERMOMASS walls also combine the benefits of energy efficiency with a facility that is low in maintenance.

School districts have been able to reallocate funds saved in annual energy and maintenance costs towards additional teachers, computers and text books.

 
Economical Construction

Building a better facility doesn’t always have to cost more. Concrete is relatively inexpensive and is one of the most durable and flexible construction materials available. Couple that with the added features and benefits of the THERMOMASS Building Insulation System, and you will surely not “break the bank” on the project.

In fact it’s a common misconception that block and brick or stick built construction methods are less expensive than using insulated concrete. When all factors are considered, there is no more economical way than sandwich wall construction and the THERMOMASS Building Insulation System.
