Green and Sustainable Woven Metal Mesh Reduces Energy Consumption

The inherent aesthetics and unique functionality of woven metal mesh make it a practical choice for almost any building application. Within the healthcare and educational building sectors, the unique material has become increasingly popular because of the added sustainable benefits it provides – a key consideration in conjunction with green building standards.

Depending on how it is incorporated into interior or exterior building design, woven metal mesh lends to an application’s green and sustainable attributes with benefits such as increased ventilation, reduced solar heat gain, light pollution reduction and recyclability to name a few. Metal mesh can additionally contribute to United States Green Building Council (USGBC) Leadership in Environmental and Energy Design (LEED) Certification. Specifically, woven metal applications can garner LEED credits within the New Construction (NC) category, and can also provide green benefits for renovation purposes.

These sustainable attributes – coupled with the stunning visual appeal and functional advantages that only woven metal can provide – make it an excellent choice for various solar and ventilation related applications within the healthcare and educational building segments.

Solar Canopies
For buildings with adjacent exterior courtyards, school playgrounds or any other outdoor area that requires shading, woven metal mesh can also be used for solar canopy purposes.

As an exterior solar shading system, a canopy fabricated from woven metal mesh maintains the unique ability to allow air to flow through it. Solar canopies fabricated from architectural mesh also lend an element of dynamic visual interest to an outdoor space while still providing the specified level of shading. http://www.xyl-wiremesh.com/
