How TO IMPROVE ENERGY EFFICIENCY FOR METAL BUILDINGS

1. How TO IMPROVE ENERGY EFFICIENCY FOR METAL BUILDINGS

2. Shape And Size The shape, size, and layout of the steel building plays a large role in how efficient it is to heat or cool. Long wings are harder to heat than centralized shapes, so you may find it more efficient to split heaters or air conditioning units if your metal buildings only share a minimal amount of airspace. 2

3. COLOR OPTIONS Dark exterior finishes may help your metal carports or steel buildings blend in with their surroundings, but the wrong color choices can also lead to a hotter structure that is harder to cool. 3

4. Insulation Choices To improve energy efficiency in both winter and summer, metal buildings need proper insulation. Loose fill blown into wall enclosures made with sheet rock. You’ll need to cover the insulation with sheetrock or some other finishing material. Spray foam: open-celled foam generally dries out well enough to be used in metal carports 4

5. Lighting For Less Most of the energy used in a metal building goes to heating or cooling, but lighting also plays a major role in increasing your electrical bills. Skylights tend to work better due to the high ceilings and open layouts of most metal buildings. 5
