Sustainable Buildings
Showing Harmony between Sustainable Energy and Building Technology
Carbon Neutral Homes
Net-zero carbon homes save money, improve health and substantially cut emissions of carbon dioxide. Every part of the house works together to provide consistent temperatures throughout, prevent drafts, and filter indoor air to reduce dust and allergens. The result: exceptional energy performance and the ultimate in comfort – a home at the forefront of sustainability. It all adds up to a better living experience. In continual collaboration with the design team and client, we identify the long-term cost benefits of sustainable practices, while meeting project targets within budget.
Solid-State Heating/Cooling
Solid state heaters and coolers are much more environmentally friendly than conventional compression cycles. They are ideal for electronic cabinets and computer enclosures in harsh industrial and other environments. Units feature a simple, efficient solid state “Caloric” design to provide reliable performance without the use of CFC’s. More recently, the use of magnetocaloric heating/cooling has seen a great expanse in terms of energy consumption, up to 50% less than current technologies. Using novel metal alloys and magnetic fields, MetaMetry is creating a new generation of low carbon cooling products that will dramatically reduce energy consumption and use no polluting gases.
Smart Glass
Constant heating and cooling has a tremendous effect on our carbon footprint and is the result of heat escaping and cold invading. One of the most common ways for heat to escape is via large glass panels and windows. For this reason smart glass is exceedingly beneficial in green architecture. Smartglass allows the user to determine the amount of light admitted to the space. It is an innovative approach in green architecture and is often referred to as the natural skin for modern urban buildings. The glass is designed to transform from opaque to transparent by simply flipping a switch. This technology also decreases the admission of UV rays to an insignificant amount and conserves a vast amount of energy used on internal climate control.
Building Longevity and Resiliency, Leading by Example
MetaMetry is committed to align and integrate with lean and sustainable practices and principals throughout the construction process to improve internal and external customer values. We are committed to align and integrate with such practices and principals throughout the construction process to improve internal and external customer values. LEED—an acronym for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design™— is the pre-eminent program for the design, construction, maintenance and operation of high-performance green buildings. Thus, we utilize energy simulation in the pre-excecution phase to provide an estimated energy saving through solar panels, green construction, solid-state cooling/heating & renewable energy.
MetaMetry allows you to make the most of your resources. We offer flexible services that are tailor-fit to the requirements of your specific project. Hire the talent you need for the tasks you need completed — no more, and no less. Whether you need an engineer to help design your system and/or part, a 3D modeler to hash out your ideas, or a product designer to help you with the design process throughout, we'll work with you to pair you with the services you need.
