At GWWO, the evaluation of the building envelope starts early in the design process. We believe that an interdisciplinary approach to design is inclusive of building systems and is essential to ...

The presence of moisture in building envelopes, whether from leakage or condensation, can have serious consequences. For example, moisture in insulation reduces its insulating capability, causing ...

Oldcastle BuildingEnvelope, Inc. announced the renewal of its partnership with the American Institute of Architects. Now in its eighth year, this collaboration reflects OBE’s commitment as the first ...

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, ...

The building envelope. At its simplest definition, it’s the exterior or shell of a building that repels the elements. At its most complex definition, it’s an engineering system that meshes elements ...

Sustainable construction begins with an efficient building envelope. As the single largest building element, the building envelope or building shell separates the interior of the building from the ...

The integration of thermal storage materials into a building envelope assembly can enhance energy performance of buildings. The integration of phase change materials (PCM)s into budlings envelope ...

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 ...

With the move to sustainable living, businesses, investors and governments are looking for the most abundant energy sources to do so effectively. Building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) is one of ...
