Introducing the PROTECT Newsletter:
Sto believes that better building enclosure design is the key to our sustainable future. That's why we've created PROTECT - Better Walls and Envelopes for Better Buildings - a newsletter intended to convey useful, newsworthy information of interest to building designers, facade experts, code officials and other key stakeholders in the development of better enclosure systems. We hope that you'll take a moment to read our debut issue, and if you'd like to receive future issues, please email us at PROTECT@ccsullivan.com. Be sure to include your name, address, email and office phone number, and specify whether you'd prefer a printed or electronic version.
