Course Description: AEC Daily: Understanding the Benefits of Modular Metal Panel Systems
Modular metal panels (MMPs) integrate advanced technology with modern aesthetics, providing high-performance building envelopes that enhance design and durability. This course explores the evolution of MMPs and what distinguishes them from other building products. You will examine the key components that make up the system and its fundamental principles and best practices. Finally, the course demonstrates how these elements combine in real-world applications, showcasing various design options.
Discuss how MMPs meet fire safety requirements and testing standards for water mitigation performance.
Identify the various joints, profiles, and finishes of MMPs, explaining how different configurations impact the substructure, and apply best practices for layout to minimize complexity and reduce material waste.
Summarize the fundamentals of rainscreen design and explain how MMPs support thermal and moisture management to maintain structural integrity and occupant comfort.
Recall how MMPs promote sustainability through long-term durability, recyclability, and waste reduction.
