Problem
Existing building retrofits for improved energy efficiency often involve lengthy installation processes, significant labor costs, and occupant displacement. Traditional methods can also be inflexible in accommodating diverse aesthetic requirements and achieving specific thermal performance targets.
Solution
Highland Park Technologies offers the "GRID" system, a prefabricated, bio-based, carbon-neutral insulated cladding solution designed for rapid building retrofits. This system utilizes a kit of parts with snap-together components, enabling installation in up to 65% less time than conventional methods, often without requiring occupants to vacate the premises. The GRID system is engineered for adaptable R-value performance and offers extensive aesthetic customization through CNC milling. Precise building data is captured via LIDAR scanning and processed with proprietary software to ensure a custom fit for each structure, streamlining the re-cladding process and minimizing installation challenges.
Target Audience
The primary customers are building owners and developers undertaking exterior retrofits for multi-family residential and commercial properties seeking to enhance energy performance and aesthetics efficiently.
