AIA+2030 Online Series, Course 4: The Importance of the Thermal Envelope
Screening of:
“Building Skin: The Importance of the Thermal Envelope”
Course 4 of the AIA+2030 Online Series
Thursday Nov. 17 / 4:45 pm
Two Locations: Contois Auditorium / West Hartford Library
CONTENT OVERVIEW
Description
A building’s envelope is the critical interface between occupant comfort and outdoor climatic conditions. High performance buildings require high performance envelopes that respond to exterior environmental impacts throughout the day and year. This course will explore design, material, and technological approaches to wall and window assemblies, from straightforward low-cost methods to advanced double skin facade applications.
The AIA+2030 Online Series is an AIA and Architecture 2030 co-production, sponsored by Autodesk and delivered through AIAU.
It's based on the highly successful AIA+2030 Professional Series, which was created by AIA Seattle and Architecture 2030, with support from the City of Seattle and Northwest Energy Efficiency Alliance.
