The Simulation vs. Reality Forum proved to be the most popular yet hosted by FTI, in person or virtual, emphasizing the importance and sensitivity of this topic in our professional work and its impact on the built environment.
Ever-increasing performance requirements in the latest version of the energy codes are compelling project teams to consider the thermal performance of the building envelope more rigorously than ever before.
This article discusses design, prototype development and a simulation study of novel types of facade systems, which integrate thermoelectric (TE)
Over the last two decades, in what has been coined “The Digital Turn”, the introduction of parametric design software has afforded increased
The global increase in atmospheric temperature rise combined with the rapid growth of previously underdeveloped climate zones presents a growing need
In recent years, the desire for increased performance, transparency and visual flatness of glazing elements in curtain walls has generated renewed
Glazed wall systems, such as curtain walls and window walls, are one of the most commonly used façade systems in modern buildings in North America.
