Greenstone (Brandon Plant) is the exclusive Canadian manufacturer of the Greenstone Insulated Composite Envelope (ICE). This structural panel building technology is used in wall, foundation, roof, floor and high-rise infill applications. Greenstone's insulated composite envelope is an engineered combination of Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) and galvanized steel, two well-known and accepted building materials. This combination results in a much lighter and stronger building envelope, with connection details that minimize and attempt to eliminate thermal bridging, making it a highly efficient construction alternative. Greenstone's building envelope technology simplifies the construction process by addressing engineering, framing, thermal compliance, and air and water barriers, all in one-step.****Greenstone's panel technology has been used globally for over 35 years, with proven testing data through fire, structural and thermal analysis. However, testing of the panel joints and the window/wall interfaces has been limited; resistance to air and water infiltration at these points is critical in cold and mixed climate zones with regards to the building envelopes' durability and its energy efficiency. Greenstone would like to partner with Red River College's (RRC) Building Envelope Technology Access Centre (BETAC) team in order to conduct ASTM Standard Testing protocols within an Air/Water/Structural (AWS) Chamber in order to validate and refine the installation techniques at these critical joints and junctions. BETAC will provide expertise and assist Greenstone with identifying compatible materials for sealing panel connections as well as window/door to panel interfaces. The project team will also evaluate the variations of rain screen materials that can be attached to the exterior of the panel system and provide recommendations on the most cost effective solution.****BETAC's research team will conduct the proposed tests at RRC's Centre for Applied Research in Sustainable Infrastructure (CARSI) laboratory, where the AWS Test Chamber is located. The AWS Chamber is specifically designed to simulate wind-driven rain on a test wall assembly. Greenstone Brandon Plant represents an established Small-Medium Enterprise (SME) in Manitoba with an enthusiastic and progressive commitment to research activities. The company has the capacity to implement and further advance the results of this project. The College team is looking forward to testing and developing the most robust installation techniques for the companies' building envelope system, which in turn will be useful in future teaching and research engagements when considering panelized building construction techniques and materials.**

格林斯通（布兰登厂）是加拿大独家制造商的格林斯通绝缘复合信封（冰）。这种结构板建筑技术用于墙壁，基础，屋顶，地板和高层填充应用。Greenstone的隔热复合材料外壳是膨胀聚苯乙烯（EPS）和镀锌钢的工程组合，两种众所周知的和公认的建筑材料。这种组合导致更轻和更强的建筑围护结构，连接细节最大限度地减少并试图消除热桥，使其成为高效的建筑替代方案。Greenstone的建筑围护结构技术通过一步到位解决工程设计、框架、热顺应性以及空气和水屏障问题，简化了施工过程。**** Greenstone的面板技术已在全球范围内使用超过35年，并通过火灾、结构和热分析获得了可靠的测试数据。然而，对面板接缝和窗户/墙壁界面的测试受到限制;在寒冷和混合气候区，这些点的空气和水渗透阻力对于建筑围护结构的耐久性和能源效率至关重要。Greenstone希望与红河学院（RRC）的建筑围护结构技术访问中心（BETAC）团队合作，在空气/水/结构（AWS）室内进行ASTM标准测试协议，以验证和改进这些关键接头和连接处的安装技术。BETAC将提供专业知识，并协助绿石确定密封面板连接以及窗户/门与面板接口的兼容材料。项目团队还将评估可以连接到面板系统外部的防雨屏材料的变化，并就最具成本效益的解决方案提供建议。* BETAC的研究团队将在RRC的可持续基础设施应用研究中心（CARSI）实验室进行拟议的测试，AWS测试室位于该实验室。 AWS试验箱专门设计用于模拟测试墙组件上的风驱动雨。格林斯通布兰登工厂代表了马尼托巴一家成熟的中小型企业（SME），对研究活动有着热情和进步的承诺。该公司有能力实施并进一步推进该项目的成果。学院团队期待着为公司的建筑围护系统测试和开发最强大的安装技术，这反过来将有助于未来的教学和研究工作，当考虑镶板建筑施工技术和材料时。
