Few aspects of building design can benefit from a 3D building information model more than building envelope design. Building envelopes are responsible for structural integrity, moisture control, ...

Thermal bridges, insulation defects and building envelope air leakage can form hidden energy gaps, or inefficiencies that ...

We may think of the building envelope as an inanimate object, but in reality its components can be quite mobile. Building materials grow, shrink, shift, bulge, deform, and elongate in response to ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
