Home Energy Assessment App
Owens Corning
Owens Corning unveils a new mobile app that puts the power of a thermal vision home energy audit into the hands of homeowners, contractors and remodelers. The free, user-friendly Comfort Tracker app can be combined with the FLIR ONE thermal imaging camera technology, made by FLIR Systems, for added sophistication in detecting anomalies in heat signatures that indicate air and thermal leakage areas in the home. The app now enables contractors and DIY homeowners to turn their iPhone, iPad or Android devices into a tool that can help improve the home’s energy performance throughout the year.

Direct/Indirect Light Coves
Armstrong World Ind.
New Axiom Direct and Indirect Light Coves integrate with all Armstrong acoustical and drywall suspension systems and lighting fixtures from four lighting partners. The new pre-engineered solution offers a variety of options for both ceiling-to-wall and ceiling-to-ceiling light coves in a wide range of sizes. And, because it requires significantly less framing, the new light coves install in a fraction of the time of typical drywall light coves.

The new push-around HB-P1027 low-level scissor lift is lightweight and features a zero-turn radius for easy maneuverability around tight corners and through confined spaces. The lift’s platform is 22 inches wide and 37 inches long to give users ample working area and easy maneuverability through nearly any doorway. The ANSI/CSA-compliant HB-P1027 lifts as much as 550 pounds, which allows operators to safely move their materials and tools to elevated worksites.
