It is estimated that some 40% of US energy is consumed by residential and commercial buildings - many older buildings having exterior walls that allow considerable waste through air leakage and ineffective insulation. Significantly to reduce building energy consumption and to meet national climate goals, Highland Park Technologis LLC is proposing use of innovative, cost-effective, re-cladding technologies. The firm's bio-based, high performance cladding system - employed for residential, deep energy retrofits is rated R-15, fully fabricated and easy to install. The proposed HP Panel Retrofits are cost-effective: prefabricated off-site, can be quickly and easily, reducing labor costs and overall installation time. Example: typical three story building can be re-clad in under 5 days, without displacing the occupants during construction. The HP Panel delivers high energy performance - significantly lower energy bills, with little maintenance. The firm's Panel System also allows for full customization over panel design: adaptation for historic neighborhoods, contemporary developments,etc.
