Building envelope rehabilitation projects offer valuable insights into the real-world performance of building designs and products over time and highlight key opportunities to increase the overall performance of buildings in the future—both rehabs and new construction.
The presentation highlights four key lessons learned from various building envelope rehabilitation projects. Through reviewing project case studies, trends emerge surrounding common envelope failures, opportunities to shift buildings towards net zero, the importance of lifecycle cost analysis, and leveraging environmental impact data when selecting construction materials.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
- Understand the impacts of fenestration and cladding assembly designs on the overall energy performance of the building envelope
- Understand key technical and financial ‘lessons learned’ from real-world building envelope rehabilitation projects
- Learn about new product trends and innovations aimed at addressing building envelope performance and longevity
- Review the importance and impact of Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) when designing and selecting envelope materials
