Objective of high energy performance Buildings use 40% of the energy consumed annually in North America and are responsible for an equal proportion of GHG emissions. Our high energy performance solutions can considerably lower GHG emissions directly caused by a building’s heating, cooling and lighting systems. Advantages for building owners A win-win construction solution: 69% more energy-efficient* No GHG emissions ROI in less than 5 years Cost-effective Our high energy performance solutions are cost-effective. It will only take a short time before the additional investment needed to fit your building with energy-efficient features pays for itself. Comfort Murox^® buildings provide increased comfort by optimizing natural lighting, heating and cooling systems, which in turn increase the productivity of the building’s occupants. Building envelope The shop-fabricated, high thermal resistance building envelope (certified R-20) eliminates air infiltrations and thermal bridges.

	The insulation in Murox^® wall panels is applied evenly and thermal barriers keep heat inside the building		Shop-fabricated under controlled conditions

Other possible components


		Windows and skylights A large number of low-emissivity windows and skylights maximize the use of natural light while optimizing energy conservation.				Lighting Newly developed fluorescent lighting use little energy and produce minimal heat.

		Geothermal system – Heat pump Solar energy absorbed by the earth is used to feed the building’s heating and cooling systems.				Ventilated Thermal Panels (solar heat collector) The Ventilated Thermal Panel (VTP^™) System is an efficient, cost-effective solution that uses solar energy to preheat the air used to heat the building.

Murox^® expertise
Since 1978, the Murox^® team has designed, fabricated and built close to 2,000 industrial, commercial and institutional buildings in North America, representing a total surface area of 43,055,472 sq. ft. (4,000,000 m²).

Feasibility study
Murox^® will conduct a feasibility study to determine the cost-effectiveness of different energy-efficient components and prepare the paperwork necessary to obtain grants.

LEED^® certification

Because of its high energy efficiency, the Murox^® building envelope system can account for almost 40% of the credits needed to obtain the LEED^® Silver certification and 30% of those needed for Gold certification. Murox^® also has a LEED^® accredited professional on its team.

Building design
With the Murox^® design-fabrication-build formula, our team oversees all technical aspects of the building and ensures that the design is optimized according to its projected use.

Certifications and accreditations

Our team

The Murox^® technical team, which includes engineers, architects, technicians and experienced project managers, can propose high energy performance solutions that are both effective and economical.

The Stageline project
Murox^® designed and fabricated one of the most energy-efficient industrial buildings of its kind in Canada. Find out how Stageline Group saves 69.2% in energy costs* thanks to Murox^® high energy efficiency components.
