Let's face it - today's energy codes are getting more challenging and more complex every year. This is one of the many reasons why we're so excited about our partnership with All Weather Insulated Panels (AWIP). Together, we're giving builders in our community real options that work with these challenging regulations. AWIP brings an impressive lineup of products that give construction teams the flexibility they need right now while staying ahead of whatever standards come next. As Brian Jones, Chief Operating Officer for Red Dot Buildings states, "AWIP's expertise in insulated metal panels allows us to meet the most stringent R values while providing many different panel profiles." What does that mean for you? It means your projects can meet all of the strict code requirements without sacrificing good design or functionality. Our partnership is all about delivering buildings that are built to last and perform exactly as they should – without the headache of wondering if they'll pass inspection.
Who is AWIP?
AWIP specializes in foam-composite insulated metal panels and offers wall, roof, and roof deck panel systems. It is an industry leader in energy-efficient and sustainable construction materials, with manufacturing facilities in Vacaville, CA, Little Rock, AR, and East Stroudsburg, PA.

A Commitment to Sustainability
Energy efficiency and environmental responsibility are essential to our projects. AWIP actively supports sustainability through:
Enhanced Thermal Performance: Their panels provide superior insulating properties, reducing heating and cooling costs while maintaining comfort.
Lower Embodied Carbon: AWIP helps decrease its environmental impact by incorporating materials with a reduced carbon footprint and utilizing renewable energy in its operations.
Waste Reduction & Circular Economy: Their durable and recyclable products contribute to sustainable construction practices, minimizing waste and extending material life.
LEED Contributions: AWIP’s panels support LEED v4.1 credits in categories such as Energy and atmosphere, Materials and resources, and Innovation in Design.
Efficiency and Design in Practice
The City of Bryan Legends Event Center is a recent project that highlights the benefits of AWIP’s DM40 Insulated Metal Panels (IMP):
Eliminated Need for Additional Thermal Separation: The DM40 panel streamlined the building process by removing the requirement for thermal tape or blocks.
Modern, Seamless Design: Unlike standard metal panels, the DM40 has a sleek, smooth finish that gives it a refined architectural appearance.
Simplified Installation: With an interlocking profile and concealed fastener system, the wall assembly was cleaner and more efficient, saving time and labor.

Strength In Partnership
Collaboration with AWIP strengthens our ability to deliver structurally sound buildings that meet and exceed today's demanding energy codes. We clad our metal buildings with AWIP's insulated panels, providing a high-performance exterior that enhances durability, thermal efficiency, and design, all while satisfying increasingly strict R-value requirements. Depending on the size of the building, these panels can be installed rapidly, accelerating project timelines without compromising quality or code compliance.
Through our partnership, their innovative materials empower us to create high-performing, long-lasting spaces that withstand rigorous energy standards while giving you more design flexibility. This adaptability to evolving building codes is just another reason why Red Dot Buildings is Built Differently.
