This course delves into the rich history of daylighting, uncovers the benefits and challenges of natural light across various sectors, highlights the pivotal role of solar control products in […]
Credit: 1 AIA LU Sponsored by: CENTRIA Understanding building physics is critical to proper building envelope design. Examined here are practical concepts for the building designer, including how cladding systems perform across different climate zones and applications. Environmental control layers and hygrothermal loads are reviewed, as is the concept of perfect/universal wall design. The course […]
Credit: 1 AIA HSW LU Sponsored by: Cladiator How cladding is attached and supported from the exterior of the wall assembly to the interior structure of the building is no longer just a question of transferring weight. The type of support system used can greatly affect energy performance, air and moisture penetration into the wall […]
