What are some of the lessons you will take
to other projects?
We learned a lot about performance glass and finding
solutions for thermal performance. We found ways
to redeem the structure and overcome problems
that were initially perplexing. We found timber framed
double-glazed windows that perform exceedingly
well in the cold climate. We found ways to achieve
a very crisp new extension with readily available
aluminum sections and available glass. That provides
us with skills for a whole range of other building types
to take with us.
What technical assistance did Viridian provide?
They supported our team from the outset and helped
calculate thermal loads and light transmission for
instance. We were grateful for that reassurance
knowing we had the best glass for a given application.
