Course Description: AEC Daily: Prioritizing Performance for Building Enclosures
This course is designed to help the commercial building team understand how to best use new products introduced into the market for building enclosures. These innovative products and systems assist in combining multiple steps of a traditional commercial exterior assembly, such as structure, fire, water, air, thermal, vapor, and acoustic control layers, into fewer steps. The course reviews various hybridized sheathing solutions and shows how the integration of advanced technology has improved performance, capability, and sustainability.
Identify the aspects of building enclosure performance, including safety (fire), occupant comfort and risk mitigation (water, air, thermal, vapor, and acoustic), contribution to design goals (programmatic and aesthetic), and financial (schedule and budget).
Discuss opportunities to prioritize performance attributes to clearly define and achieve team and project-specific success.
Discuss opportunities to achieve and exceed project performance expectations with manufacturer support, design feedback, and field QA/QC procedures.
Evaluate building enclosure field performance and potential performance verification testing as needed.
