The built environment has been stagnant in terms of innovation for years. For decades the perfect storm of challenges has been brewing throughout the construction industry, and this storm is now forcing change.
Construction material quality, escalating material costs, skilled labor shortages, increasing building code requirements, the need for more resilient structures, and a demand for healthy environments are challenges that architects, engineers, and contractors are scrambling to address – while working to balance design flexibility, budgets and innovation.
The good news is the AEC industry can combat all challenges of this “perfect storm” by optimizing one key component of the building system – and that is the Building Envelope. More and more options exist to save time, money, energy, and preserve occupant health, while achieving design creativity. These options all center around selecting a high performance building envelope to solve today’s challenges. This presentation addresses what attributes in the building envelope make a difference, what solutions exist for envelopes to combat the “perfect storm” and discusses the advantages of offsite/prefabricated vs. site framed building envelope systems both for Designers and Contractors.
