The building
envelope is the structure that separates the
building occupant from outdoor conditions. It's a
major factor in determining a building's energy use.
The components that make up a building envelope
include:
- Fenestration:
Windows, Doors and Skylights
- Insulation
- Foundation
- Wall Systems
- Roofing
Innovative building
technologies currently under development
will make tomorrow's buildings more efficient,
durable, comfortable, and adaptable than ever. It's
also important that these materials and products
ultimately complement your whole-building design
approach. |
