Course Description: CEU Events: Design Rainscreen Sustainable Facades
Materials used on building facades need to withstand many things, including water, wind, sunlight, and sometimes severe weather conditions.
They also need to hold up to the effects of people who may inadvertently or even intentionally cause damage. Choosing materials used for facades is certainly influenced by the ability to hold up over time but also by the available size, not to mention the appearance, of the material.
Being able to install it in a manner that is efficient and cost-effective usually rounds out the criteria for selecting a building material for building facades. There is one new product category that will be the focus of this course, namely sintered stones that can be used for curtain walls, rain screens, siding applications, and other common wall systems for both residential and commercial buildings.
Identify and recognize the characteristics and beneficial properties of sintered stones.
Investigate the manufacturing process of sintered stones and the suitability of the product to both interior and exterior building applications.
Assess the functional contributions of sintered stones as they contribute to green and sustainable building design.
Specify sintered stones in a variety of green and conventional buildings and formulate appropriate selections related to specific applications.
