stores energy and dampens effect of temperature change

Mitigates heat transfer and energy loss

Reduces indoor temperature fluctuation to improve occupant comfort

Enables downsized HVAC system and decreased first costs

Thermal Performance of Precast ConcreteOne of the best measures for performance is actual thermographic

measurement of the installed panel. Using a thermal imaging camera,

one can physically determine how the energy effectiveness of the

exterior envelope and actually see if heat is being lost through the wall

and envelope. On this page and the next are thermographic images of

recent CarbonCast® projects done by AltusGroup members.

Thermal Imaging: Precast Wall System University Commons at GSU built with a thermally efficient precast concrete mass wall system. Calculations by infrared imaging found the system to be an R-13.77. (Note: bright spots are exhaust fans or security lighting.)

Thermal Imaging: Cavity Wall SystemA dormitory built with cavity wall construction in the Atlanta market. Calculations by infrared imaging found the system to be an R-7.09. Note multiple areas of thermal transfer.

According to this study, the material R-value is 11.67, but it performs at a material R-value of 26.00+. This helps reduce first costs and yearly operating costs. (2” XPS)

This continuous insulated University of Pennsylvania building uses a thermomass® system with Poly-Polyisocyanurate insulation that delivered a R-24 performance.
