Data centers are among the most energy-intensive and operationally sensitive building types. This course equips architects and building envelope consultants with the knowledge to design resilient, ...

Thermal bridges, insulation defects and building envelope air leakage can form hidden energy gaps, or inefficiencies that ...

This presentation examines the critical nature of tie-ins, transitions, and continuity throughout the building envelope. These critical areas may only represent 1% of the building envelope, but it is ...

The model energy codes, in their various forms, have been at the forefront of the discussion regarding building design in recent years. These codes include the International Energy Conservation Code ...

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 ...

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 ...

Traditionally, architecture's role has been to create a barrier between inhabitants and the elements, providing protection and security. Even with material and technological advances over time, this ...
