Thermal & Moisture Protection

Thermal & Moisture Protection Roof Tiles | Thermal Insulation | Vegetative Roofing Systems “Fiberglass insulation is such a widely used category that this product [Owens Corning EcoTouch] has a huge potential impact.”—Stephan Jaklitsch

Onyx Photovoltaic Walkable Roof

Onyx Photovoltaic Walkable Roof

Spanish manufacturer Onyx Solar offers building-integrated photovoltaics specifically designed to replace traditional construction materials in roofs, skylights, windows, or building facades. The photovoltaic properties allow the glass to generate electricity even in buildings where the orientation and inclination are not optimal. Still in development, this walkable roof system (shown) features a-SI glass, a material ideal for extended periods of exposure. Our jury appreciated the product’s versatility in generating power while also facilitating daylighting.

SkyScape Vegetative Roofing System

SkyScape Vegetative Roofing System

SkyScape is a vegetative roofing system from Firestone Building Products featuring patented, double-interlocking trays that are easy to install and maintain. The system is available in extensive modular trays and as an intensive multilayered system. Both designs feature a protective root barrier, drainage and filtration layers, a water-retention reservoir for stormwater metering, growing media, and the plants themselves. SkyPaver composite roof pavers and SkyDrain drainage mats from Firestone complement the system.

Smog-Eating Roof Tile

Smog-Eating Roof Tile

The first of its kind in the United States, Boral Roofing’s smog-eating roof tile contains a specially prepared catalyst embedded in the upper part of the tile body that, when exposed to sunlight, speeds up the oxidation process and reduces pollution. The titanium dioxide coating on the surface of the tile’s micro-mortar makes it mold- and algae-resistant and less porous than conventional color-through tile.

EcoTouch Insulation

EcoTouch Insulation

According to the jury, while Owens Corning EcoTouch insulation looks like the same old fiberglass insulation, it can have “a huge potential impact” on residential and commercial projects. Verified to be formaldehyde-free, EcoTouch is certified by Scientific Certifications Systems to have over 50% recycled content, including a minimum of 30% postconsumer recycled content. The high-performance insulation is also Greenguard Children & Schools Certified, meeting stringent standards for indoor air quality.
