Cardinal Carports supplies energy efficient buildings manufactured with sustainable building materials. Our commercial and agricultural steel buildings are prefabricated with recycled steel with a published rate of 89% or higher recycled content making them eco-friendly.

1. How TO IMPROVE ENERGY EFFICIENCY
FOR METAL BUILDINGS

2. Shape And Size
2
The shape, size, and layout of the steel building plays a
large role in how efficient it is to heat or cool. Long
wings are harder to heat than centralized shapes, so
you may find it more efficient to split heaters or air
conditioning units if your metal buildings only share a
minimal amount of airspace.

3. COLOR OPTIONS
3
Dark exterior finishes may help your metal
carports or steel buildings blend in with their
surroundings, but the wrong color choices can
also lead to a hotter structure that is harder to
cool.

4. Insulation Choices
4
To improve energy efficiency in both winter and summer,
metal buildings need proper insulation.
Loose fill blown into wall enclosures made with sheet rock.
You’ll need to cover the insulation with sheetrock or some
other finishing material.
Spray foam: open-celled foam generally dries out well
enough to be used in metal carports

5. Lighting For Less
5
Most of the energy used in a metal building goes to
heating or cooling, but lighting also plays a major
role in increasing your electrical bills. Skylights
tend to work better due to the high ceilings and
open layouts of most metal buildings.
