US by the National Institute of Building Sciences
Washington, USA – The National Institute of Building Sciences
has awarded the Permasteelisa Group for its proprietary façade
technology called mfree-SCCF. This technology received the
Honor Award, First Place for the High-Performance Innovation in
the National Institute of Building Sciences 2017 Beyond Green™
High Performance Building Awards, a unique programme which
recognises the initiatives that shape, inform and catalyse the
high-performance building market, as well as the real-world
application of high-performance design and construction
practices.
Alberto Franceschet (Executive VP Business Development
& Sales) and Alex Cox (Business Development Manager - West
Coast) from Permasteelisa North America attended the ceremony
to receive the award and to present the mfree-SCCF facade,
highlighting the great opportunities that this high-performance
and sustainable technology can offer to the audience, mostly
composed by building industry leaders and US Real Estate
industry representatives.
The mfree-SCCF is a cost efficient façade that significantly
contributes to high environmental ratings of a building, offering
abundant availability of daylight and light-thermal acoustic
comfort. It is designed in such a manner that no contamination by
dust and condensation is permitted inside the internal cavity of
this special double skin facade. All of this without compromising
the aesthetics of the buildings.
The mfree-SCCF façade has been already employed
by Permasteelisa in important realisations throughout the
world; among them, 200 George Street (Sydney, Australia), JTI
International HQ, (Geneva, Switzerland), One New Burlington
Place (London, UK), LEO (Frankfurt, Germany), Roche Building
