1 High Performance Insulation For Next-Generation Curtainwalling

2 Dow Corning Dow Corning has grown from its pioneering role in the development of silicones for commercial applications to become a global leader in siliconbased technology and innovation. We provide performance-enhancing products and solutions that meet the needs of customers in virtually every major industry and improve the daily lives of nearly a billion people across the globe. In the construction industry, Dow Corning is particularly known for its silicone sealants. Dow Corning is expanding typical industry horizons and going beyond sealants to include other areas of high performance building solutions, particularly silica-based, high performance insulation. These innovations help reduce environmental effects of construction and enable architects to create more energy efficient, space-saving, people-friendly designs. 1

4 Introduction to Dow Corning Vacuum Insulation Panels (VIP) Energy consumption in buildings accounts for approximately 40 percent of global carbon emissions, and energy regulations are becoming increasingly strict in an effort to meet targets set at the international and national levels. Ultimately, near-zero carbon emission buildings will become the norm; this puts pressure on building envelopes to perform to higher standards than current practice. The building envelope needs to combine aesthetics and performance, which poses both challenges and exciting opportunities. The performance of curtainwalling has been enhancing incrementally over past decades but it reaching certain limits, mainly due to the need for vision area and the inevitable effect of framing. In a time of stricter energy codes, where the energy performance of buildings needs to be addressed not only by visionary designers and clients but across the board, the challenge is to empower designers to deliver high quality architecture with low environmental impact. We call this design freedom. 3

5 Vacuum Insulation Panel ALUMINIZED MULTILAYER BARRIER Contains vacuum and provides environmental protection A protective, metallized film wraps the microporous fumed silica core of the VIP. This system is subjected to vacuum and sealed, which allows a drastic decrease in the thermal conductivity of the panel. Dow Corning Vacuum Insulation Panels have a thermal conductivity of less than 5 mw/mk, which is more than five times the thermal insulation of conventional insulation materials like mineral wool. Conduction heat transfer is limited through the microporous core, opacifiers reduce radiant heat transfer while vacuum minimizes energy transfer by convection. The solution covers all three modes of heat transfer and the result is an extremely high level of thermal resistance. CORE BAG PRESSED FUMED SILICA CORE THERMAL WELDED EDGE SEAM 4

6 Insulation Comparison The VIP center-of-panel value (λcop) is the thermal performance value that is usually reported since it is much easier to measure than the effective thermal conductivity. However, the effective conductivity (λeff) is what describes the actual performance of a VIP in the final application, taking into account additional losses through thermal edge effects. λcop = 0.005W/mK λeff = 0.007W/mK Vacuum Insulation Panel U-value (W/m 2 K) of 25mm insulation material thickness Expanded Polystyrene (eps) 0.1 Mineral Wool Polystyrene Phenolic PUR Aerogel Dow Corning VIP Extruded Polystyrene (Xps) Mineral Wool Polystyrene (EPS, XPS) Polyurethane and Phenolic Aerogel Dow Corning VIP Glass Mineral Wool Chemical Characteristics Typical Thermal Conductivity λ, W/mK Maximum Service Temperature (ºC) inorganic organic organic inorganic inorganic ** * Reaction to Fire incombustible flammable not readily flammable not readily flammable not readily flammable Rock Mineral Wool Thermal conductivity varies by specific grade of insulation for any given material family.

7 GLASS METAL Dow Corning Architectural Insulation Module Finishes and Materials Dow Corning Architectural Insulation Modules combine the aesthetics and convenience of curtainwall construction with the added energy-saving benefits of high-performance VIP. Robust construction makes them easy to handle, assemble and install, and the panels can be easily used with other existing insulation systems. WOOD This high-efficiency insulation provides long-term insulation performance and meets the highest energy requirements while also maintaining design freedom and aesthetic appeal. Available in a variety of finishes, including glass, aluminum, steel, wood and even Building-Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV)*, the panels feature a very thin-profile construction and are designed to create uninterrupted lines and a flush appearance so all parts of a building can flow together. BIPV *Building-Integrated Photovoltaics is a developmental product under development at Dow Corning. Contact your Dow Corning sales representative to learn more. 6

8 Structural Glazing System Structural glazing systems play to Dow Corning s strengths our proven sealant technologies for this application allow architects and building owners to meet a host of varied requirements. High quality individual solutions are achievable with structurally glazed systems: design freedom, high thermal performance and opportunities to automate component applications are key strengths of this façade type. Dow Corning s insulation panels further enhance design freedom by providing a flush finish and thermal performance in the face of increasing energy efficiency targets. SPANDREL/SPANDREL GLASS/GLASS TRIPLE GLASS TRANSOM 7

9 Unitized System SPANDREL/SPANDREL As with many elements of building construction, technologies and fabrication practices for façades have needed to become more efficient and streamlined and to meet higher market expectations for quality. As such, façade companies are capturing more value through shop-built unitized façade systems. This prefabrication technique helps to raise quality and lower costs, which is the ideal situation for use of Dow Corning s insulation panels. These panels fit easily into most standard unitized systems and provide excellent thermal performance and design freedom. GLASS/GLASS TRIPLE GLASS TRANSOM 8

10 Stick System The stick system in curtainwalling is a technique which provides uninterrupted uniformity across the façade and is typically assembled on the construction site itself. Glass spandrel, fixed and window glazing units look identical, which plays to the strengths of vacuum insulation panels. Thanks to an optimized thermal insulation, the façade itself can now meet the highest energy requirements and permit design freedom and aesthetic appeal at the same time.

Achieving a U-value of 1.1W/m²K allows about 45% vision area in the façade. A higher thickness of VIP (40mm) allows increasing the vision area of the façade to 60%. The insulation provided by 160mm traditional mineral wool is similar to 40mm VIP. Achieving a U-value of 0.8W/m²K allows about 45% vision area in the façade. Combining the 40mm VIP with 120mm mineral wool allows increasing the vision area of the façade to 60%. Thermal Modeling and Proof The U-value of different framing systems (structural glazing, unitized and stick) with the VIP module were determined through simulations. These values were combined with the center-of-panel U-value of the vision (double glass Ucop=1.1W/m 2 K or triple glass Ucop=0.8W/m 2 K) and spandrel area through area weighing. Percentage of vision was varied from 0% to 100% and the overall U-value for the façade was calculated. These graphs illustrate how the use of VIP offers the ability to increase the percentage of vision area due to enhanced performance in the insulated areas, offsetting the performance of vision area and linear thermal losses. As the architectural trends evolve from ordered layers of vision and spandrel toward a spreading of the spandrel over the whole façade, using Dow Corning Vacuum Insulation Panels in spandrels allows the maintainance of the vision area while answering all thermal efficiency requirements. 10

12 Typical Configurations Dow Corning Architectural Insulation Module are currently available in three different combinations of glass/glass and glass/ metal facings. To help you select the optimal architectural insulation panel, Dow Corning has developed these dimension tables describing the required glass type and thickness for your specific project depending on panel dimensions ranging from 1,500mm x 750mm to 1,500mm x 4,000mm, the type of building, its location and encountered loads. The architectural panels need to be engineered with due regards to project-specific specifications. For concept stage design development, Dow Corning has developed dimensioning tables for reference.
