We recently revisited Episode 52 of the Better Buildings for Humans Podcast, hosted by Advanced Glazings Ltd., and featuring Dr. Jennifer Veitch, (National Research Council Canada / Conseil national de recherches Canada). Her decades of research into the relationship between light and well-being offer so many valuable takeaways for anyone designing healthier, more human-centered spaces. It’s a great reminder of why thoughtful approaches to daylight and lighting quality matter — not just for energy efficiency, but for supporting well-being in the spaces we live, work, and learn.

Condensation in buildings can pose significant challenges to indoor air quality, especially in institutions with large glazed curtain walls. Sustainable, efficient, and easy-to-sanitize materials, such as Thermaframe, our line of fibreglass curtain wall systems, can be a vital part of the solution. By incorporating materials like these, we can reduce the spread of respiratory illnesses and create healthier indoor environments! Our blog post dives into the benefits of maintaining mid-range air humidity levels in public buildings and the role of fibreglass frames in managing condensation! 💦🏥 https://lnkd.in/gBSMei-b ·· ·· #Condensation #IndoorAirQuality #CurtainWall #Fibreglass #Sustainability #Efficiency #40to60RH #RelativeHumidity #IRH #BuildingMaterials #HealthcareArchitecture

The ASHRAE guidelines recommend maintaining indoor relative humidity levels between 30-60% for health and comfort. However, typical building systems often struggle to achieve this balance without creating condensation 💦 That’s where Thermaframe makes the difference. It maintains above-dew-point conditions even at 50% humidity and -18°C or 35% humidity and -30°C, helping buildings align with ASHRAE standards while safeguarding both occupants and structures! 🙌 The Nunavut Arctic College's Nunatta Campus expansion in Iqaluit, completed in 2018, exemplifies innovative design tailored for extreme Arctic conditions. A key feature of this project is the integration of Solera® – Light Diffusing Insulating Glass by Advanced Glazings Ltd., which enhances natural daylight penetration while providing superior thermal insulation!

Big news from Ottawa — the Enbridge Operations Centre is officially complete! This incredible facility is a shining example of Enbridge's commitment to a net-zero future, incorporating advanced energy-efficient technologies to significantly reduce environmental impact. At the heart of this achievement is our locally made fibreglass-framed curtain wall system, selected for its ability to reduce heat loss and enhance energy performance while supporting Enbridge's bold sustainability goals. A big thank you to WalterFedy for their architectural vision — together, we’ve delivered a building that reflects the best of Canadian manufacturing and sustainable design! 🍁🇨🇦✅

When the design team for Red Deer Polytechnic Residence set out to create a space that would support students while meeting ambitious sustainability goals, they turned to GlasCurtain’s Thermaframe Curtain Wall Systems. The challenge was clear: to design a building that balances energy efficiency, durability, and a welcoming aesthetic, all while reducing its environmental impact. Enter Thermaframe — a next-generation fibreglass-framed curtain wall system that offers ultra-high thermal performance (R4-R9) and dramatically lowers embodied carbon compared to conventional aluminum frames. The result is a residence that doesn’t just house students — it creates a healthier, more comfortable space to live and learn. By tackling issues like heat loss and condensation risks, Thermaframe helps the building perform better, ensuring long-term efficiency and lower operational costs. Red Deer Polytechnic Residence is an example of how forward-thinking design and cutting-edge materials can reshape our approach to sustainable architecture, one building at a time! ·· Architect: Reimagine ·· #SustainableDesign #FibreglassFraming #CurtainWallSystems #LowCarbonBuilding #EnergyEfficiency #GreenArchitecture #StudentHousing #NetZero #BuildingEnvelope #RedDeerPolytechnic
