As jurisdictions across North America introduce more stringent building energy performance standards (BEPS)—such as the BC Step Code and Seattle 2018 update—developers, architects, and contractors are left wondering the best way to meet the new benchmarks while controlling costs.
This presentation delves into modern high-performance fenestration products, providing a high-level overview of what makes a product ‘high-performance’, benefits of high-performance fenestration in the world of emerging BEPS, plus real-world project examples.
Through a review of window materials and configurations, this presentation outlines the impacts of fenestration on a building envelope’s overall performance, as well as opportunities to cost-optimize high-performance fenestration.
1. Understand the impacts of windows on the overall energy performance of the building envelope
2. Review key design factors and performance metrics of high-performance fenestration
3. Understand the design flexibility offered through an integrated envelope and fenestration design approach
4. Learn options to cost-optimize the incorporation of high-performance fenestration products into new construction and rehabilitation projects, with the goal of meeting code-mandated performance requirements while remaining cost-neutral.
