In recent years, the desire for increased performance, transparency and visual flatness of glazing elements in curtain walls has generated renewed
<p>Several years ago, Technoform and the Solar Energy Research Institute of Singapore (SERIS) researched the thermal performance of different…
The European building stock is mainly constituted by highly energy demanding buildings. The only way to a more sustainable and decarbonized building
<p>Thermal bridging through building façades have been overlooked by designers and building energy codes and standards in the past, which has led to…
<p>This paper discusses a simulation study of different window systems, where heat transfer simulations were performed to investigate thermal…
<p>Thermal-break-blanket technology is a novel and high-performance thermal break solution for aluminum curtain walls. The thermal-break-blanket is…
The Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital at Stanford University in Palo Alto, California features an extremely diverse set of facade systems within one
Over the years, the industry has relied heavily on the increasing performance of low-e coatings to drive window U-factors (thermal transmittance)
It is commonly thought that fenestration U-factor is not a key determinant in the performance of facades in hot climates, and generally the focus of
<p>Silicone materials have a long history in high performance building projects. Known for durability, they can reduce a building’s carbon footprint…
With net zero and carbon neutral mandates on the near horizon, New York City has pushed the green building envelope by leveraging incentive-based
Buildings account for over 40% of global emissions (GlobalABC, 2018). Growing populations and higher standards of living are increasing pressure on
In 1871, a fourth level Architecture course was offered in New York City that instructed on topics such as heating, ventilation and circulation of
