Overcoming the Design Challenges of High Performance Building Envelopes

Three signature campus expansion projects. Countless obstacles. Resounding success. Join us at this session for a study of the design of high-performance envelopes—specifically, the need for early identification of energy targets combined with thermal and energy modeling. Presenters will walk you through their efforts to ensure envelope performance met project requirements at every step. Along the way, you’ll learn about an integrated process utilizing parametric modeling, daylight and glazing analysis, physical mockups, on-site testing, and a design assist delivery method. Don’t miss this firsthand look at wide-ranging, concrete solutions for issues that vex designers and architects alike.

Resiliency Design Case Studies in the Developing World

In the developing world, designing for resiliency goes beyond considering future storm events or sea-level rise. Threats related to infrastructure unreliability and building operation and maintenance are immediate—and are pushing design to be responsive and creative. This session will explore such challenges and creative opportunities from the perspective of an architect, engineer, and urban planner working in different regions of the developing world. Through conversation and case studies, you’ll explore a range of issues that are increasingly pressing for architects and designers working in every community, including your own.
