Project Overview

The Vermont-based tech company OnLogic recently completed construction on their new 150,000 square foot headquarters in South Burlington, Vermont. This new campus accommodates 150 employees and a full manufacturing facility to produce leading industrial computers. This project was done in conjunction with ReArch Company, Wiemann Lamphere, and SD Ireland.

Design Challenges

The OnLogic team prioritized the use of sustainable, locally sourced materials for their new headquarters. They needed to create a comfortable, energy-efficient environment for employees while maintaining stable conditions during the computer manufacturing process. To minimize heating and cooling costs, the building required a high performance envelope that met both thermal performance and environmental goals.

Glavel as a Solution

Glavel played a role in achieving the project’s sustainability and performance goals. Its lightweight and insulating properties eliminated the need for traditional insulation, ensuring energy efficiency while providing the conditioned space necessary for employee comfort and consistent manufacturing processes. According to ReArch Company, the use of Glavel resulted in an 87% reduction in embodied carbon emissions compared to a traditional insulation detail.
