10 High Performance Masonry Wall Retrofit Why Outside? Occupied building Outside is ugly Preserve building Performance 10
11 Why Outside Outside is Ugly? 11
12 Why Outside Outside is Ugly? 12
13 Why Outside Outside is Not Pretty 13
14 High Performance Masonry Wall Retrofit Why Outside? Occupied building Outside is ugly Preserve building Performance Refer to previous presentation re: Ø Water vapor Ø Bulk water 14
15 High Performance Masonry Wall Retrofit Why Outside? Occupied building Outside is ugly Preserve building Performance Simplified geometry = better continuity 15
16 High Performance Masonry Wall Retrofit Why not EIFS? Plastic Combustible Not abuse resistant High thermal resistance is really thick! 16

20 Castle Square Mid-Rise Structure and aesthetic expression poses challenge to thermal performance 20
21 Castle Square Mid-Rise Retrofit Testing, evaluation, analysis concludes: High performance will require Ø adding insulation to walls, Ø controlling infiltration and ventilation, Ø improving windows 21
22 Castle Square Wall Retrofit Strategy Performance Targets for Wall: Ø R-40 Ø Improve compartmenting as much as possible Options pursued: 1. Exterior air barrier, insulation and cladding 2. Exterior insulation and finish system (EIFS) 3. Insulated metal panels (IMP) 22
23 Castle Square Wall Retrofit Strategy 1. Exterior air barrier, insulation, and cladding 23
24 Castle Square Wall Retrofit Strategy 1. Exterior air barrier, insulation, and cladding Large range of options with respect to Insulation types Air barrier materials Cladding options 24
25 Castle Square Wall Retrofit Strategy 1. Exterior air barrier, insulation, and cladding Fire concerns Lack of UL rated assemblies Insulation thickness needed to achieve desired R-Value could be significant 25
26 Castle Square Wall Retrofit Strategy 2. Exterior insulation and finish system (EIFS) 26
27 Castle Square Wall Retrofit Strategy 2. Exterior insulation and finish system (EIFS) Lower cost option No need for design of cladding attachment system 27
28 Castle Square Wall Retrofit Strategy 2. Exterior insulation and finish system (EIFS) Thick layers of insulation needed to achieve design goals Insurance concerns (Fire, water, durability) 28
29 Castle Square Wall Retrofit Strategy 3. Insulated metal panels (IMP) 29
30 Castle Square Wall Retrofit Strategy 3. Insulated metal panels (IMP) High R-Value thinner retrofit profile Fire rated Durable 30
31 Castle Square Wall Retrofit Strategy 3. Insulated metal panels (IMP) Attachment over non-plumb/plane surfaces Cost Question of Water and Air control approach 31
32 Castle Square Wall Retrofit Strategy Wall System Approaches for Super Insulation (R40) Retrofit 1. Field-constructed system separate components: applied air barrier and drainage plane, cladding attachment, exterior insulation, and cladding; judged to costly and complicated 2. EIFS (Exterior Insulation and Finish System) required thickness not approved by insurance 3. Insulated metal panel system 32
33 Castle Square Wall Retrofit Strategy Insulated metal panel (IMP) challenges Attachment over non-plumb/plane surfaces Requires panels spaced off wall <!> Question of Water and Air control approach: 1. Panels as the complete enclosure? Panels provide air barrier, insulation, water management 2. Panels as an insulated cladding? Separate water and air control behind 33
34 Castle Square Wall Retrofit Strategy Insulated metal panels (IMP) as complete enclosure: 34
