In another “here’s a new industry that embraces iPad” post, we bring you the story involving commercial building products manufacturer YKK AP America and their new iPad app – Architectural Product Master. Designed as an addition to the existing online design manual, the application also empowers building professionals with an easy access to high-end product images, details, installation checklists and green building resources.
Moreover, there’s an “innovative thermal performance calculator,” myThermal Assistant, included – enabling calculation of the energy saving performance metrics of YKK AP products with project-specific glass packages using the AAMA 507 standard based on NFRC methods. This tool helps building professionals decide which product and glass package is required to meet the thermal performance needs of the building envelop.
Finally, Architectural Product Master can also be used by contractors to walk the jobsite and confirm that YKK AP’s recommended installation steps are being followed. Then there are top ten green building resources on the web for commercial construction, YKK AP product data sheets, at-a-glance checklists and more.
