Hampshire, IL – AIR-SHIELD™ LMP from W. R. MEADOWS is a water-based air/liquid moisture barrier that cures to form a tough, seamless, elastomeric membrane. AIR-SHIELD LMP exhibits excellent resistance to air leakage. As a drainage plane, AIR-SHIELD LMP prohibits liquid water intrusion into the substrate, if properly applied. AIR-SHIELD LMP has been specifically formulated to act as an air and liquid moisture barrier, allowing vapor to pass through it while being impermeable to liquid water. It may be applied to most common surfaces and integrated into various wall systems. AIR-SHIELD LMP is suitable for both new construction and retrofit applications. AIR-SHIELD LMP provides an effective barrier to moisture migration, reducing condensation within the wall assembly and increasing efficiency of a building’s mechanical system. When moisture enters a building, it reduces the energy efficiency of the structure. AIR-SHIELD LMP plays a key role in maintaining the structure’s energy efficiency and aiding in the integrity of other structural systems, such as insulation. The high permeability characteristics of AIR-SHIELD LMP allow the transmission of moisture vapor through porous building materials. It is highly flexible, bridging cracks which may form in the substrate. It is UV resistant and ideal for exposed applications, such as beneath rain screen panels.

Pasadena, CA (January 27, 2009) – Gray Construction, an ENR Top 100 Green Contractor, has reduced construction submittal response time by 60% and cut printing and shipping costs by 50% - all by going paperless with Bluebeam PDF Revu, a leading PDF creation, markup and editing software for the architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) industry. The firm has achieved significant results by sharing PDF construction submittals electronically in PDF rather than printing and shipping paper. This greener, more sustainable workflow is being deployed on various projects, including the construction of a new 165,584 square foot distribution center for Kentucky Eagle Beer in Lexington Kentucky. Project team members located throughout the US communicate faster with Bluebeam PDF Revu than paper submittals allow. With Bluebeam, the team creates PDFs, compares revisions of PDF drawings with the Document Compare feature and redlines PDFs with customizable markup tools such as text boxes, shapes, symbols, and images. Project documents are then emailed, eliminating the need to print and ship. “Bluebeam improves communication and reduces paper usage and shipping so much that the software pays for itself in just one submittal process,” said Gary Hisel, Gray Construction Senior Design Manager. “It used to take us at least eight days and twelve overnight packages to receive, review and respond to paper construction submittals. Now that we have Bluebeam, we’re able to respond in as quickly as three days, and we’ve easily cut shipping costs in half.” Gray Construction has deployed Bluebeam PDF Revu Standard Edition and CAD Edition to over 200 users. “Gray’s decision to go paperless with Bluebeam PDF Revu has produced incredible results,” said Sasha Reed, Director of Account Services at Bluebeam Software. “These savings illustrate how implementing a paperless workflow with Bluebeam can not only help construction firms implement sustainable business practices, but also reduce distribution costs, decrease turnaround time and achieve ROI in just days.” Bluebeam Software products are sold directly and through a worldwide network of value-added resellers.
