PRODUCT FOCUS GREENBUILD PRODUCTS The following products will be on display at the Greenbuild Expo, Nov. 19-21, 2008, in Boston. Reinvented Carpet Sampling System DALTON, GA. — Green Samples, by commercial floorcovering manufacturer Tandus, is a virtual sample folder that minimizes the need for physical carpet samples. The patented sampling book contains tear-off pads for each colorway, and each sample folder pad has 25 color-accurate Windows Further Reduce Costs SUNNYVALE, CALIF. — ThermaProof superinsulating windows from Serious Materials can reduce heating and cooling energy use by 20 to 40 percent resulting in an 8 to 16 percent savings in energy costs for a typical building, the company reports. The windows are available for commercial and residential construcdaylighting, the companies report. Tensotherm functions as a mainstream roofing option that insulates like standard roofing while promoting natural daylighting. Nanogel aerogel is also Cradle to Cradle Silver certified by MBDC. www.birdair.com and www.cabot-corp.com. Birdair Inc. and Cabot Corporation | Reader Service No. 102 Booth #425 Cable Management System Contains Recycled Content NEW YORK — Humanscale’s NeatLinks is a cable management system designed to neatly house and route cables, power strips and ballasts (bricks). NeatLinks help keep underthe-desk areas clear of the messy and tangled cables and wires commonly found in today’s workplaces, the company reports. NeatLinks can be mounted in any direction on nearly any plane with just two screws or adhesive tape. The NeatLinks components are larger than digital images replicating physical carpet samples. The specifier uses the folder in the same way that a designer would use a sample book in the firm’s resource library, but is now encouraged to tear the color swatch out of the folder — up to 25 uses per color — rather than having to replace a missing swatch after one use. Each sample sheet contains a virtual image on one side, and specifications and positive environmental impacts on the other. www.tandus.com.

AND BOSTON — Tensotherm with Nanogel is a new fabric membrane roofing product that offers the flexibility and translucency of Birdair’s tensile roofing fabrics, but with the added benefits of Cabot Corporation’s Nanogel aerogel, a feather-light insulation layer that significantly enhances the material’s thermal performance while maximizing traditional cable management systems to better accommodate and organize the multiple cables, power strips and ballasts needed regularly in office environments.
