Wall Material
Pick a wall and see how it affects energy
A modern wall system designed for excellent insulation and strength. The outer aluminum panels give a sleek, durable finish, while a thick layer of mineral wool traps heat and blocks sound. Inside, a steel liner and gypsum board create a clean and sturdy interior surface. This type of wall is often seen in high-tech buildings aiming for top energy ratings and modern architectural style.
Roof Material
Try different roof types
This roof is built for modern, energy-smart buildings. It uses a tough waterproof plastic layer (TPO) to stop leaks, a thick layer of mineral wool or foam to keep temperatures steady, and a strong steel deck underneath for support. It keeps the building cool in summer, warm in winter, and helps save energy all year round — just like the roofs used in high-performance or green-certified buildings.
Window Type
Explore different window options
These windows use two layers of glass with a special invisible coating (called Low-E) and argon gas sealed in between. The coating reflects heat back inside during winter and blocks excess solar heat in summer. The result is a comfortable, quiet, and energy-saving window — the kind used in premium sustainable buildings.
