Specialty Fabrics ReviewTHE INDUSTRY IN PRINT
Specialty Fabrics Review is the voice of Industrial Fabrics Association
International, the one magazine that covers the entire industry.
Editorial content ranges from news, industry events, new products,
the latest high-tech fabrics and applications, to case studies, regular
columns focusing on advanced textiles, important industry business
trends and international applications; feature articles that bring
together industry opinions from dozens of different markets to highlight
important industry issues we’re all facing, today and tomorrow.
With each year’s editorial calendar—and with each issue—Specialty
Fabrics Review’s goals are to hold an industry-wide conversation,
focusing on technology, innovation and communication. We do this by:
• Helping our readers do their jobs better and make their
companies more profitable.
• Giving our readers practical information about products and markets
that might be open to them—and how to succeed in those markets.
• Showing industry suppliers who their customers are, what’s
important to them and where the growth areas are.

The latest LEED version 4 (v4) is mandatory
for new registration on November 1, 2016.
This report covers LEED v4 Rating System. This
rating system version is estimated to be utilized
for building assessments until 2022.
Improved Building Energy Performance
Awnings, Canopies and Solar Shade products
help reduce overall energy use of buildings by
providing necessary shading to the building
exterior and/or interior. Overall energy use
reduction not only helps in energy cost savings
(to achieve LEED® credits under Minimum
Energy Performance and Optimize Energy
Performance), but also reducing the peak
power requirements of the building which can
reduce HVAC system sizing. As a stakeholder,
you may think, “How do I measure energy
savings of these Awnings, Canopies and Solar
Shade products?” The answer is simple: if these
products are permanently fixed, they can be
modeled in the energy simulation tool.
Depending on the awning and solar shade
products, several credits may be obtained which
in turn will help the building project achieve
higher LEED rating.
The Awning and Solar Shade products
applicable to LEED Rating System are:
Stationary Awnings These are used to shelter
windows from sun and heat, control light and
glare, for privacy, and for aesthetics. Stationary
awnings are fixed in pace and provide shade
over windows or other openings.
Drop-arm (Adjustable) Window Awnings
Drop-arm window awnings provide total privacy
and sun-protection. They can be controlled
manually or using a motor (automatic) to
extend, retract, and change angle of the awning.
The shading device can thus provide total
privacy and sun-protection, like an exterior
shade curtain, or it can extend horizontally at
any angle to provide partial or full shade while
allowing daylight and views to the outside.
Exterior Solar Shades Exterior shades are
mounted above a window or storefront and
extend or retract in a plane parallel to the
window to protect the window and interior.
Similar to Drop-arm window awnings, exterior
solar shades can be controlled manually or using
a motor, and even using an automation system
that uses sensors to optimally extend or retract.
Control of Exterior Solar Shade screens can
be with a gear and hand crank, a motor with a
toggle switch, a motor with a remote control, or
a motor controlled by an automation system.
Stationary Commercial Canopies These are
fabric structures that provide shelter and
shade. By definition, they are attached to
the building at one end and supported by
at least one post at the other, or, they can be
constructed independently of a building.

The use of EVOH as a geomembrane is new and it now allows designers and regulators the option to better contain
both the liquid and gas phased hazardous waste on environmental sites. With the addition of EVOH, the Absolute
Barrier® line of geomembranes can now protect against VOCs, methane, nauseous odors, and even Radon. Even
better, the installation procedures for this special lining system are the same as common PE liners. With the use of
the Absolute Barrier® geomembrane system, the designers and owners of the 360 Degree Recycling facility were
able to provide a best available practice (BAP) methodology. The decision to use Absolute Barrier® not only
ensured greater environmental performance, but better long-term site economics related to environmental
responsibilities. They mitigated future groundwater concerns, conserved water resources, and reduced storm water
runoff fees. And they did so by implementing an easy containment strategy for both liquid and gas phased wastes
with the Absolute Barrier system.

SITE 360 DEGREE RECYCLING
LOCATION NEW CARLISLE, INDIANA
PROJECT APPLICATION HAZARDOUS WASTE CONTAINMENT
PROJECT CHALLENGES
• Hazardous waste containment for heavy metals and VOCs
• Containment of both liquid and gas phased VOCs required
• Geomembrane needed to be durable for use with rigid overlay system
PROJECT SOLUTION
• Absolute Barrier® Liner System
PROJECT CHALLENGE
When a new auto shredder operation was proposed near New Carlisle, Indiana, the designers and owners wanted
an extra step to secure permitting and ensure locals of the environmental protection measures being used for the
site. The 360 Degree Metal Recycling facility was to sit on an 18-acre footprint and house various pieces of
machinery used to dismantle and separate automobiles for recycling. The processing and disposal of these
vehicles, due to the diverse content of metals, fuels, and other fluids, presented a strong environmental challenge.
The use of a “hardscape” cover system was designed into the project and included large concrete pads and
diversion areas. These areas were used to support the heavy machinery along with diverting hazardous runoff into
designed containment systems. The concrete overlay would be used as a working platform and could be viewed as
a primary boundary layer for containment. But a more permanent and long-term secondary barrier was needed.
This extra layer would need to provide protection from operational leaks and spills caused by both the automobiles
being recycled and the recycling machinery. It would also need to protect against liquid and gas phased hazardous
waste.
PROJECT SOLUTION
The use of a geomembrane was immediately thought of as the required secondary containment liner. These typical
liners are commonly used as a liquid impermeable surface. However, the typical HDPE or LLDPE geomembranes
are not suited for containing gas phased hazardous waste or other naturally occurring gases. The runoff for this
facility would contain VOCs in the form of benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylene. All needed to be contained
for proper environmental protection. To accomplish the task of liquid and gas phased containment, the designers
relied on the use of the Absolute Barrier®. This seven-layer coextruded lining system contains an outer core of
polyethylene (PE) for liquid containment, just like a normal geomembrane. The special nature of this material lies
within the core of its multilayered construction. Within the Absolute Barrier® core lies a layer of EVOH (ethylene
vinyl alcohol). EVOH is used widely as a barrier film in the food packaging and specialty containment industries.
