ThermaSteel Panels has joined the Green Building Pages ranks. It manufactures foundation, floor, wall, roof and ceiling components for residential, commercial and industrial applications as well as infill or curtain for high-rise construction. It's a pre-insulated light gauge steel framing, utilizing galvanized steel and EPA (both 100% recyclable).ThermaSteel carries and Energy Star Rating and UL, ASTM and others.
ThermaSteel came to Green Building Pages on the recommendation of the Los Angeles Community College District. As soon as the ThermaSteel team answered the triple bottom line questions on Green Building Pages, Green Building Pages sends their link back to Lilian the LACCD procurement specialist. Now Lilian has all the answers to anything she needs to know at her fingertips (as does everyone else at LACCD).
But that's just a starting point...
Lilian heads up the interiors procurement operations and acts as the filter for all products coming into the LACCD, but she doesn't specify products and materials that will be used to build the buildings. That job goes to one of the 150 or so architectural and design firms contracted with the LACCD.
Educating the architects to use Green Building Pages and also flag the firms on new products is Amber Olson. With this same link, she can share ThermaSteel's LEED Credit opportunties in energy performance, controllability of systems - thermal, thermal comfort - design, recycled content, innovation and design.
Thank you ThermaSteel for making the transferring of knowledge through LACCD so easy.
Thank you for making us a part of what you do!

Thermasteel panels were utilized in the exterior construction of the 'environmentally wise' home in Texas. The homeowners found the panels and necessary adjunct materials very expensive. Construction time and effort was extensive and tedious using thermasteel panels. Assembly and integration of the product was labor intensive, and the panels were found to be difficult to work with in general. Sub contractors were frustrated. The manufacturer refused to help the homeowners when they requested their assistance with more than one issue.

Congrats on joining. Pity that many people have found this product expensive, but that is something that I have noticed with Green products is the fact that many have a higher price tag, which is sad as we all want to be more environmentally friendly.

These look pretty good! I've heard they're pretty durable.

Anyone can learn how to build a successful online business, but making money on the Internet is not a get rich quick scheme. If you are not keen to put in the time and effort to learn the proper Internet marketing techniques.
