AEP Span Roof Takes First Place in Metalmag's 2007 Architectural Awards Program

Dallas, TX (PRWEB) June 19, 2008 -- June 20, 2008 - AEP Span, a Division of ASC Profiles, a BlueScope Steel Company, was announced as Hanley Wood's Metalmag 2007 Architectural Awards Winner- Roofs, for their work on the Aldo Leopold Legacy Center in Baraboo, Wis.

Many factors of the 24 gauge, standing seam steel roof played into winning the award. The SpanLok Galvalume Plus roof manufactured by AEP Span helped bring the natural daylight into the building, therefore reducing the need for lights, electricity and lower demand for energy consumption. "The Galvalume Plus metal roof caught the attention of the judges for contributing to the structure in multiple ways, including hosting a photovoltaic system and solar hot-water system, as well as guiding rainwater to an on-site rain garden," said Christina Koch, Editor-in-Chief of Metalmag. The 16,200 square foot standing seam roof consisted of a prefinished Galvalume Plus-coated SpanLok roofing system. The AEP Span roof paired the beauty and durability of a standing-seam roof with the functionality of renewable energy by integrating photovoltaic panels mounted to the mechanically seamed standing rib. "We are glad to be contributing to the sustainable building efforts of someone as Legendary as Aldo Leopold," said Foster Gibble, Vice President of AEP Span.

Motion Sensor Home Security Cameras
Many security cameras do not record well in the dark. This implies that a slinky presence can get away with any deed as long as the dark provides a shield. This is where a security camera with motion sensor comes in. The motion sensor triggers an automatic response as soon as it picks up a movement in its vicinity. Some of these cameras come equipped with floodlights that power up as soon as a motion is registered, flooding the area with light and catching the culprit in the act. This is further enhanced by the fact that a security camera with motion sensor often offers a connection to a TV or computer monitor. As soon as the sensor is triggered, images of the perimeter can be captured immediately.
