At GWWO, the evaluation of the building envelope starts early in the design process. We believe that an interdisciplinary approach to design is inclusive of building systems and is essential to ...

Few aspects of building design can benefit from a 3D building information model more than building envelope design. Building envelopes are responsible for structural integrity, moisture control, ...

Thermal bridges represent discontinuities in the insulation layer of building envelopes, where conductive materials enable an increased rate of heat transfer between the interior and exterior ...

Ferguson Corporation, a Western Canadian leader in high-performance building envelope systems, has proudly marked its 50th anniversary, celebrating five decades of innovation, craftsmanship, and ...

Ozyegin University Building Envelope Design and Technology Lab is organizing an international conference on Resilience in Building Envelope Design and Technologies with tremendous speakers from ...

Discover how rainscreen façades redefine the building envelope by integrating solar technology as an architectural material.

Researchers at the RMIT University in Australia have developed a multi-objective optimization (MOO) framework to maximize the life cycle energy (LCE) and life cycle cost (LCC) of different ...

As architectural design continues to evolve, so too must the materials and systems that shape the modern building envelope. This course introduces architects to innovative, non-traditional façade ...

High-performance building envelopes are rewriting the playbook for HVAC contractors — as buildings are getting more airtight and insulation more robust, loads drop and demand curves flatten, meaning ...

• Interstate Roof Systems Consultants Inc. (IRSC), a national building envelope consultant with offices in Wisconsin, Illinois and Colorado, is excited to welcome Daniel C. Beaty, AIA, CCS, a licensed ...

Facade design is no longer just about aesthetics. With glassfibre reinforced concrete (GFRC), modern design, thoughtful functionality and energy efficiency can be perfectly combined, giving a building ...
