Project Description
The Dining Commons Project was ran on a tight schedule. With the building mostly curtain walls and windows, the architect was looking for a design that would limit the amount of energy lost. The architect chose a 2″ continuous insulation system to limit that loss. An ABAA contractor was also chosen to ensure the building air barrier system was being installed properly.
