From fables like πŸ– The Three Little Pigs to building towers with our 🧱 blocks, we learn from an early age how essential walls can be. In passive house design, the walls work even harder than standard walls, which is why we think about walls a lot here at the AE Building Systems.

For this month`s blog, we focused on designing your wall assembly with passive house principles in mind. Most importantly, how to:

➑️ Keep air out
➑️ Ensure the wall dries to the exterior
➑️ Use continuous insulation
➑️ Take climate into account

Today is πŸ’‘ National LED Day, and there is much to say about LEDs. They are such a great alternative to other types of lights, but we are highlighting our top favorite things about LED lights:

πŸƒβ€β™‚οΈ Unmatched Longevity - Depending on usage, an LED bulb can last over 20 years, making it a cost-effective and durable lighting solution.

⚑ Energy Efficiency β€”Traditional bulbs only convert 20% of their energy into light, losing 80% to heat. LEDs, on the other hand, convert 80% of their energy to light.

♻️ Ecologically Friendly - LEDs do not use any toxic materials and can be recycled.

πŸ’ͺ Durable Quality - LEDs can be used in all environments because they resist vibration and impact.

✏️ Design Flexibility - LEDs can be made into almost any shape and color, giving designers a lot of creative license.

When it comes to green building, LEDs are a superhero!
