Detailing High-Performance Facades: Strategy, Specifications, and Advanced Cladding Materials
Today’s high-performance facade standards require the deft balancing of aesthetics, technical detailing, and the demands of the client and local building regulations. This workshop will discuss both material and technical solutions to meet those standards. Experts will be on hand to lead tutorials on the most recent innovations in rainscreen cladding, sealant solutions, and much more. Attendees will leave with a greater knowledge of material applications at the cutting-edge of energy performance and code compliance, all while learning of attractive solutions for clients and end users.

This fast-paced course is designed to inspire + educate attendees in the niche field of window automation for natural ventilation and smoke evacuation. We’ll explore the vast benefits for people and planet through improved indoor air quality, energy efficiency, cost savings, health, safety, productivity, and sustainability. This program also delves into why tying actuators into sensors through the Building Management System (BMS) is critical for success.
Learning Objectives
- Identify the benefits of natural ventilation for occupants, developers, + planet.
- Discover the importance of automation through BMS Line Actuators + why programming correct scenarios is imperative for successful natural ventilation.
- Define the importance of smoke evacuation for life safety, incident stabilization, + property conservation.
- Identify types of windows which can be actuated + how dims/weight are calculated to determine the correct actuator.
