Smart-R Wall Solution

Product catalog summary

Introduction
The document provides an overview of CENTRIA's SMART-R™ Wall Solution, an advanced metal wall system designed to enhance thermal performance, aesthetics, and sustainability by integrating panels, windows, louvers, and sunshades.

Design
The system features high-performance architectural cladding with seamless integration of components, offering sleek sightlines and design flexibility with 3" thick Formawall Dimension Series and Graphix Series panels.

Performance
The SMART-R Wall Solution improves thermal performance with the 3" FWDS-T panel and FV-600 window, addressing air infiltration and water intrusion through enhanced metal vertical joints and shop-assembled windows.

Sustainability
The integrated wall system reduces material usage and job site waste, improving air, water, and thermal performance, contributing to sustainability.

Thermal Performance
Thermal performance is crucial for energy efficiency, focusing on reducing heat loss and condensation. The system enhances thermal performance by improving joinery and extrusions.

Advanced Thermal and Moisture Protection (ATMP®)
CENTRIA's proprietary ATMP® technology uses factory-foam insulated metal panels outside the building's metal studs to maximize thermal efficiency.

Key Components
The system includes thermally enhanced panel extrusions and strategically located components to reduce heat loss and condensation risks, with thermographs illustrating improved temperature distribution.

Specifications and Standards
The document references ASHRAE Standard 90.1 (2010), highlighting the need for optimized window perimeter details to prevent heat loss and condensation.

Smart-R Wall Solution Features
The Formavue 600 (FV 600) window system includes integrated head, sill, and jamb details with large thermal breaks and additional insulation to reduce heat loss.

Thermal Performance Analysis
Thermographs using THERM 6.3 software show significant reductions in heat loss with CENTRIA's thermally enhanced details compared to standard practices.

Deflection Joints
CENTRIA's thermally enhanced deflection joints reduce heat loss by 80% compared to standard joints, emphasizing careful design in multi-floor buildings.

Comparison with Standard Industry Practices
Figures and tables show substantial improvements in thermal efficiency with CENTRIA's solutions, noting a 38% reduction in heat loss for walls with a 30% glazed area.

Procedures
A parametric analysis compared the thermal efficiency of a 500 ft² wall using CENTRIA’s Smart-R Wall Solution, brick masonry veneer, and architectural precast concrete systems.

Results
The analysis showed the Smart-R Wall Solution can reduce heat flow by up to 35% compared to standard systems, significant in walls with glass areas between 10% and 30%.

An effective overall wall system starts by identifying the key components of the wall and designing them for maximum efficiency. CENTRIA’s expertise in Advanced Thermal and Moisture Protection (ATMP®) led to innovative improvements in the most critical areas of the wall system—the details—which include the panel joinery and panel extrusions. One of the most likely places in a wall where heat can escape and condensation can occur is at the wall system transition details. The Smart-R Wall Solution addresses this problem by using the Formawall® Dimension Series® (FWDS) 3”-T panel. The 3”-T panel...

SMART-R™ Components CENTRIA’s team of building science experts have also developed thermally enhanced panel extrusions incorporating CENTRIA’s ATMP technology. The extrusions are strategically located at panel deflection joints and at panel heads, sills and jambs of openings. The positive end result is that both heat loss and the risk for condensation are reduced.
