Energy-Efficient Pre-Engineered Steel Building in Reno, Nevada
Metal Building Outlet delivered this custom multipurpose steel building in Reno, Nevada, in December 2022. Tailored to meet the owner’s specific needs, the insulated, well-ventilated metal building has a host of upgrades and customizations that enhance functionality for the owner.
With 6” of VRR+-faced insulation in the roof and 4” in the walls, the building offers impressive thermal performance, keeping occupants comfortable year-round regardless of weather conditions outside.
The inclusion of four insulated roof panels further enhances the building’s insulative properties, minimizing heat loss and reducing energy consumption.
The multipurpose metal building also has two 10’, low-profile manual operation ridge vents with convenient pull chains that enhance airflow and circulation. This helps prevent stale air and moisture from building up inside, reducing the risk of mold and mildew.
Other notable customizations include 100’ of gutters with downspouts and elbows. By managing rainwater runoff, these features help protect the building’s foundation, prolonging its lifespan and preserving its aesthetic appeal. The building also meets local building code requirements, featuring a high wind speed rating to enhance durability.
