Pictured (l-r): Nathan Kegel, Vice President of Business Development, North America, IES and Mark Hershey, Senior Vice President, Americas, Armstrong World Industries. LANCASTER, Pa. - Armstrong® World Industries and Integrated Environmental Solutions (IES) are collaborating to bring Armstrong® Templok® Energy Savin g Ceilings into IES Virtual Environment (IESVE) software, a suite of integrated analysis tools used by engineers and architects around the world to optimize whole-building performance. Templok innovative ceiling panels use Phase Change Material (PCM) technology to passively regulate room temperature and can reduce a facility's energy costs and consumption by as much as 15%.* The companies are working to include Templok-available in the Americas-in the IESVE Parametric Simulation feature used by sustainability and design experts to analyze a range of performance metrics including the prediction of carbon emissions, energy consumption, costs, thermal and visual comfort, and water usage. Fully integrating Templok into IESVE stands to accelerate the decarbonization of the built environment at lower costs than other existing technologies. Beyond introducing thousands of architects, designers, consultants, and engineers to PCM ceiling innovation, the partnership will provide critical validation data, advance market awareness and understanding of the ceiling panels' ability to lower energy expenditure and carbon emissions, and position Templok as an alternative to more costly HVAC system upgrades or replacement. "Our purpose is to develop the technology to decarbonize every building in every city of the world, ultimately eliminating global reliance on fossil fuels while promoting comfort, health, well-being, and fairer access to energy for every citizen," said Nathan Kegel, Vice President of Business Development, North America, IES. "In Armstrong, we have a partner whose decarbonization mission aligns perfectly with ours-and a ceiling solution with the potential to change the game for the built environment. IES has had interest in PCM for a while so when Templok was introduced, we took notice. We are excited for this collaboration and what it can mean to designers, architects, engineers, and, most importantly, the sustainability of our planet." IES technology and expert consultancy are leveraged by thousands of customers worldwide to optimize performance for everything from a single space to a building to an entire campus, city, or community. "Our partnership with IES, the recognized global leader in energy modeling, is an important milestone for Armstrong as we work to grow awareness and understanding of the value our Energy Saving Ceilings can bring to building owners and facility operators," said Mark Hershey, Senior Vice President, Americas, Armstrong World Industries. "Collaborating with IES on data validation and energy modeling and including Templok in the IESVE solution will elevate the credibility of Templok as a viable and compelling energy efciency solution, while further advancing Armstrong's sustainability journey, bringing energy efciency and carbon reduction to our ceiling portfolio." Through a muti-stage modeling and development partnership, Armstrong and IES aim to accelerate access to and adoption of Templok Energy Saving Ceiling solutions by enabling architects, designers, and engineers to make informed design decisions during both new building and renovation projects. Building Better Together The partnership between Armstrong and IES-aiming to advance decarbonization in the built environment through innovation-is a strong example of the Armstrong "Building Better Together" initiative. This effort is focused on industrywide collaboration to advance sustainable solutions in the built environment to address intensifying public health, climate, and equity challenges. "Our collaboration with IES demonstrates that 'Building Better Together' is more than just a vision-it is the pathway to powerful partnerships resulting in concrete actions that accelerate solutions for decarbonizing the built environment and creating healthier, more sustainable spaces where we live, work, learn, heal, and play," said Hershey.
