Forces influencing design of TClip

Contractor in mind: • Constructability • Cost • Adjustability
Architect in mind: • Aesthetic freedom • Allow for greater amounts of insulation
Code/ Building Envelope Science • Morrison Hershfield
Directions in the Code
• Higher thermal resistance requirements and increasing over time • Effective R Value, not nominal • Thermal resistance set by geographic location • Less window areas, more opaque walls
• Based on ASHRAE 90.1, being adopted in Ontario, Quebec, BC and those using NBC.

Note: Code changes are for the whole building. There are various ways for you to comply. Although EA is an active participant with the Code, like you we rely on the NRC and the Consulting Engineering community for clarity on specific projects. A good overview is available in both French and English at http://www.nationalcodes.nrc.gc.ca/eng/presentations_necb/presentation.php?pres=3-envelope

Effective Insulation requirements going up, by zone in the country
Thermal Bridges – yes the old ways just wont work. Now We Know!

Its all about metal going through the insulation in an opaque wall
Anything bridging from warm to cold causes a thermal bridge AND Breaks the plane of the insulation AND Worse the more insulation required

Why TClip patent pending
• Thermally broken façade suitable for Rear Ventilated Rain Screen ( RVRS ) • Non combustible construction • Adjustable for subwall misalignment • Cladding joints not tied to stud locations – design freedom • Easy construction, cost effective
– fewer rows of clips than others, no insulation stickpins, insulation installed easily and completely, simple window, door and edge conditions
• No premium over double girt system • Suitable for weather barrier (as required by European DIN Standard) • Suits all structures; steel stud, block, concrete • Black vertical girts – corrosion resistant and best aesthetic • Traditional installation practices, no training needed • 3 clear field insulation thicknesses • Designed to European DIN Standards, with prescribed airflow • Supports Engineered Assemblies materials • Made in Canada

Thermal Performance of Engineered Assemblies Thermal Clips Summary
Presentation based on the Executive Summary written by
- February 22, 2013 page 16
Executive Summary The Engineered Assemblies Thermal Clip System is an aluminum thermal clip
system for attaching rain-screen cladding systems for steel stud wall assemblies with exterior insulation. Morrison Hershfield was contracted by Engineered Assemblies Inc. (E.A.I) to model the system in order to provide thermal performance values.
The system is comprised of aluminum clips connected to horizontal and vertical sub-girts that support rain-screen panel cladding. The clips are attached to a steel stud back-up wall.
Thermal breaks are provided at the connection between the sub-girt and clips via a cork/neoprene pad and between the clips and exterior sheathing via an aerogel
insulation pad. See Figure 1 for a simplified rendering.

• Meets the prescriptive requirements for non- residential steel stud walls in ASHRAE 90.1-2007/2010 for all climate zones.
• Performance of the system is validated through Modeling and the Finite Element Analysis (FEA)
• Designed for Mid- and High-Rise (Non-Combustible) building envelopes
• Engineered to accommodate Façade panels generally 8-26mm in thickness
• Engineered for wind loads up to 50psf • Optimized vertical spacing – 900mm up to 1200mm apart

TClip Performance Engineering Complete
Results of Old Girt Systems
- February 22, 2013 page 20
One example – Designer wanted R25. With Vertical / Horizontal girts, ended up with R17 (U.058 or 69% effective – not compliant!)
Thermal Performance modeled for 3 clear field dimensions and vertical Tclip spacing
- February 22, 2013 page 21
94% effectiveness or 47% which do you prefer

The slope of lines are similar, so effective thermal resistance is independent of - Thickness of insulation - Type of insulation
So pick the best insulation you can afford, and TClip provides you the ASHRAE 90.1 and highest effective solution
