Understanding ETFE Structure G-value and its Impact on Cooling and Heating Efficiency in ETFE
When considering the performance of building materials in relation to solar energy, the concept of G-value becomes critical. Often referred to as the Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC), G-value is a key factor in evaluating how much solar energy is transmitted through glazing, affecting the internal temperature and comfort of a space. This becomes especially […]
Wind-Load In Tensile Fabric Structures: A Checklist for Professionals
Tensile membrane structures are increasingly popular for their aesthetic appeal, durability, and versatility. However, when designing these structures, especially those intended to withstand high wind speeds, proper wind-load rating is essential. Whether for temporary events or permanent installations, understanding wind load considerations can ensure safety, efficiency, and longevity. Temporary vs. Permanent Wind Load Ratings In […]
