Award-Winning Green Building — Taichung International Convention And Exhibition Center Features Expanded Metal
Located Near Central Industrial Zones And Major Industry Clusters, The Taichung International Convention And Exhibition Center Benefits From An Excellent Location And Strong Connection To The Regional Industrial Supply Chain. More Than Just A Venue For Exhibitions In Central Taiwan, It Serves As A Platform For Industrial Exchange, Technological Collaboration, And Economic Development. It Has Received Several Honors Including Green Building And Low-Carbon Certifications, Positioning It As A Model For Green Building Materials.
The Highly Recognizable Architectural Exterior Of The Taichung International Convention And Exhibition Center Features Flowing Curves And Large Curtain Walls Clad With Shang Kai Steel’s Expanded Metal. This Design Helps Block Direct Sunlight, Lowers Indoor Temperatures, And Reduces Energy Use. The Interplay Of Light And Shadow From The Layered Mesh Installation Enhances Visual Depth, Demonstrating Both Functional And Aesthetic Potential Of Green Building Materials.
For Large-Scale Buildings Like The Taichung International Convention And Exhibition Center That Require Consistent Climate Control, Installing Shang Kai Steel’s Expanded Metal On Exterior Façades Provides Four Key Benefits:
1. Reduces Indoor Temperature By 4–6°C, Saves 24–36% In Energy, And Optimizes Daylight
Direct Sunlight On Glass Surfaces Generates Heat, Increasing The Load On Air Conditioning Systems. With Customized Mesh Size, Angle, And Layout, Expanded Metal Can Block Heat Radiation, Lower Indoor Temperatures By 4–6°C, And Reduce Energy Consumption By 24–36%. It Also Improves Natural Lighting Conditions While Providing Solar Shading.
3. Enhances Architectural Depth With High Customizability For Creative Design
Expanded Metal Offers High Flexibility For Architectural Design—It Can Be Cut, Bent, Framed, And Treated In Various Finishes. This Allows It To Adapt Precisely To Curved Or Complex Building Forms, Enabling Visual Layering And The Realization Of Bold Design Concepts. Custom Processing Options Align With Architectural Needs, As Seen In This Representative Case.
