Most people look at canopies that are positioned on hotels and other retail establishments and might understand the protection from the weather that they provide, but don’t realize the additional impacts they have on the building. MASA Architectural Canopies understands that not only does your canopy provide your building with weather protection, but it also can help with heating and cooling costs, and can also serve as a focal point for the building to help it stand out from other buildings around yours. Canopies can give a building character, either with the color choices or with the shape of the canopy. Contact us today to learn more about the role of canopies for hospitality and retail buildings.
The Continued Push for Sustainable Buildings
Buildings use a lot of resources when it comes to construction, plus the ongoing maintenance needs, as well as heating and cooling needs for indoor comfort. If you can find ways to help reduce the use of those ongoing resources, such as electricity, that will ease the burden for the entire grid, as well as provide the building owners with lower operating costs over the life of the building. Canopies help to provide this passive reduction of energy needs for many years.
But our canopies go further than just helping to reduce the ongoing energy needs for heating and cooling a building. Our canopies are constructed from aluminum, which is one of the most recycled materials available. This means that your canopy was not made using raw materials that needed to be mined, but that the existing materials were reused, saving even more of a variety of resources.
Helping Buildings Reach New Levels of Efficiency
You may hear about LEED buildings and how important this certification is. There isn’t just a single solution that leads to this certification, but a host of different smaller items that all add up to be awarded the designation. Canopies are an important part of this due to their passive nature that provides positive impacts. Whether you are looking to add canopies to your building, replacing ineffective canopies, or have other goals, our team is ready to help.
The retail and hospitality industries are notoriously difficult to break into, as well as to continue on, so anything that you can do to help with visibility, marketing, efficiency efforts, and more are important to look at. With MASA Architectural Canopies, you have an experienced partner that can show you many different options of ready-to-go designs or can help to create your unique canopy. Contact us today to learn how important canopies are for all kinds of buildings.
