Register on AIAU.
Presented in partnership with the Building Performance Knowledge Community (BPKC). Explore the critical role of building envelopes in improving thermal performance and meeting evolving energy efficiency codes. This webinar focuses on strategies to minimize heat loss through thermal bridges, using the Building Envelope Thermal Bridging Guide, and addresses the challenges unique to high-rise buildings with traditional unitized glazing systems. Learn how to refine material choices, optimize design strategies, and adopt better construction practices to achieve superior thermal performance while enhancing occupant health, safety, and welfare.
Learning Highlights:
- Design strategies for addressing thermal bridging and complying with envelope backstops in modern codes.
- Insights into mitigating heat loss in high-rise structures with unitized glazing systems.
- Tools for quantifying thermal bridging and improving building envelope performance.
- Updates on innovations and best practices for high-performance building enclosures.
