FreMarq engineers and fabricates high performing thermal fenestration products, curtain wall, fixed windows, window walls, vents and sunshades. Our primary focus is to reduce the energy consumption and carbon footprint of commercial buildings by improving the thermal efficiency of its envelope.
FTI's Advocacy Committee submitted three proposals in response to the USGBC's LEED v4 announcement including recommendations to add a credit for assessing condensation resistance, a bundling option that ensures appropriate envelope performance, and improved delivery of thermal comfort near facades.
There is a desire in architecture to design and achieve transparent canopies and glazed rooves that are free from the visual clutter and the
